Train your ear like a real musician. Intervals, chords, rhythm, dictation: with Modalissimo you finally hear music from the inside. Exercises designed and reviewed with singer June. Most ear-training apps make you guess isolated sounds. Modalissimo makes you hear them in context, like real music: every exercise starts with a cadence that sets the key. Your ear learns the function of every note — and that's what makes the difference in rehearsal, on stage or when improvising. ■ WHY IT WORKS • Tonal context before every question: a solid relative pitch you can actually use • Adaptive practice: what you miss comes back more often, what you master fades out • 5 minutes a day is enough: daily goal, streaks, levels and XP keep you going • Statistics per interval, chord and degree: see exactly where to improve ■ EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO PROGRESS Melody: Intervals, Scales, Modes (jazz modes too), Melodic Dictation, Sight-singing, Singing (mic), Score Harmony: Chords (7ths, sus2/sus4, inversions), Progressions, Cadences, Polyphonic Dictation Rhythm: Rhythm Dictation, Rhythm Writing Tools: Tuner, Metronome (any time signature, tap tempo), Simple Piano, Studio Piano, Pocket Mode ■ SING — THE APP LISTENS Sight-singing and Score: sing with count-in, click and accompaniment. The mic rates your pitch and rhythm note by note, right on your device. ■ EVEN WITHOUT LOOKING Pocket Mode plays the questions and speaks the answers, screen locked. Perfect on the bus or on a walk. ■ WHO IS IT FOR? Music students, singers and choir members, jazz and pop musicians, teachers (free teacher license), and anyone who wants to play and sing more in tune. ■ COMFORT • 8 timbres: piano, Rhodes, violin, sax, trumpet, flute, guitar, synth • Do Re Mi or C D E notation • 3 levels per exercise, from beginner to advanced • Larger layout on iPad, 9 languages, works offline, no ads ■ FREE TO START Every exercise is free, with 6 questions per day per exercise. Go Pro for unlimited practice on every exercise, no ads, forever: monthly, yearly or lifetime. And this is just the beginning: June is already preparing what comes next. ■ PRIVACY No account. Microphone audio is analysed on your device and never recorded or sent. Anonymous usage statistics, which you can turn off in Settings, help us improve the app. Privacy policy: https://gansoft.ch/eartraining-privacy-policy.html Terms of Use: https://gansoft.ch/eartraining-terms.html
