## What is MyEarTraining?

Ear training is highly essential for any musician - be it a composer, singer, songwriter or instrumentalist. It practices the ability to connect music theory elements (intervals, chords, scales) with real sounds you hear. The benefits of mastering ear training include improved intonation and musical memory, confidence in improvisation or the ability to transcribe music more easily.

MyEarTraining makes ear training practice possible almost anywhere and anytime on the go, thus saving you from the hassle of assembling musical instruments. You can practically train your ears while waiting at the bus stand, traveling, or even at your coffee desk.

>> APP FOR ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS
Whether you are new to music theory, need to prepare for an intensive school exam, or are an experienced musician, there are over 100 aural exercises to help you push your music skills. Users with no ear training experience begin with simple perfect intervals, major vs. minor chords and simple rhythms. Advanced users can progress through seventh chord inversions, complex chord progressions and exotic scale modes. You can use tonal exercises with solfeggio or singing exercises to improve your inner ear. Input answers using buttons or virtual piano keyboard. For major music topics, MyEarTraining offers different courses and lessons including basic music theory. Interval songs and practice piano are also included. 

>> COMPLETE EAR TRAINING
MyEarTraining app works by combining different ear training approaches like isolated sounds, singing exercises, and functional exercises (sounds in tonal context) to train your ears, thus maximizing results. It’s designed for musicians who want to improve their relative pitch recognition abilities and get one step further towards perfect pitch.

### 5/5 — Absolute pitch test request

*2026-03-20*

I really appreciate your work—keep it up!
Would it be possible to add an absolute pitch test and a relative pitch test, such as interval recognition?

### 5/5 — can’t beat it.

*2025-12-14, version 3.0.2*

(also the only music app that isn’t isn’t categorised into ‘music’ on my phone)

### 3/5 — Great app, has some bugs

*2025-07-20*

One of the best ear training apps, but it has some issues where some notes within a chord don’t play which makes the exercises useless and would love to see more sounds added !

### 5/5 — best ear training app

*2025-01-07*

i literally can’t believe this is free, also their music theory app is just as good

### 4/5 — Beginner problem

*2024-09-28*

I sing soprano but when I did “unison singing” the app only registers up to E5 then it does not recognize higher pitch. I sung F5 and it doesn’t recognize.

### 5/5 — I would only change one thing

*2023-12-30, version 2.9.7*

I am not a fan of a lot of the default infernal training songs. Although I enjoy listening to classical music as such of the traditional examples, it's not as catchy as other more modern popular culture examples. Please check out "David Bennett Piano" on YouTube and see the ear training videos - there are a lot of better examples of interval training songs, he has a video on both ascending and descending intervals.

### 5/5 — Make premuim features separate

*2023-11-13*

Can you sell the premium features separately please. I don’t need every feature.

### 4/5 — Potential fix

*2023-08-25*

It’s a good app but there are some overtones in some cases that make it hard to identify harmonic intervals.

### 5/5 — Amazing app, extremely helpful

*2023-07-13*

This app improved my singing by so much. I cant believe I learned to sing in tune from an app that’s literally FREE. Whoever created this app. I am in debt to you and I wish I could donate for how much it helped me.

### 4/5 — Note missing

*2023-06-22*

I used it today for my morning routine and there was a missing note on the keyboard for chord training with melody! There were Eb,F,G, and A was missing on the keyboard and the exercise sounded with an A. Watch out! ☝️
