FAQ
What is Hark's primary focus for ear training?
Hark focuses on training users to hear every note as a degree of the current musical key, rather than just the interval from the previous note. This method aims to build a stronger understanding of the tonic and its relationships.
Does Hark have ads?
No, Hark is ad-free. The app explicitly states 'NO ADS' and emphasizes a distraction-free learning experience.
What are the different training modes in Hark?
Hark offers four main training modes: Degrees (identifying single notes), Melodies (naming notes in short phrases), Chords in the key (identifying chords by their function), and Progressions (recognizing sequences of chords).
Can I use Hark without looking at the screen?
Yes, Hark features a hands-free mode that allows you to train with the screen off. The app will play the key, the note, pause for your answer, and then speak the answer aloud, making it suitable for use while walking or in the car.
What is included in the free version of Hark?
The free version includes five degree levels in C major, up to seven degrees across two octaves, two melody levels, two chord levels, the first progression level, hands-free training, the staff, a week of statistics, and all of the 'Explore' feature for listening to any degree in any key.
