Ear Domino vs rapDo!

Most people immediately think of intervals and triads when they think of ear training. Quite a few have great problems with this and quickly lose motivation. Yet it is easy to understand that a well-trained ear has nothing but advantages for aspiring musicians. "Ear Domino" offers a playful approach to ear training, for which no previous knowledge is required. - Playful ear training - Functional ear training - Playing without time pressure - Play in time for bonus points - Game Center integration - iCloud-sync The game is based on the idea of functional ear training, i.e. listening to tones in relation to the fundamental of a key or tonality. Experience shows that beginners find this considerably easier than traditional ear training. Motivation is maintained and the way to more demanding disciplines is smoothed. - Play the second note - Play an additional note - After 3 mistakes the game is over Idea for the classroom: What happens when you have a whole group of students play with the app together? I wanted to get an answer to this question. In the music theory class, I briefly explained how the app works and then the students got to play together. Those who thought they knew the solution were allowed to play it. The score achieved was significantly higher than in the individual rounds. Everyone contributed. Neither the students nor I had expected it to be like this. It was a great collaborative experience.

rapDo! is your digital rhythm coach. You don’t need an instrument and can learn and practice anytime, anywhere. You’ll learn rhythm like a language, using just five syllables. You start with simple rhythm "words" and progress to rhythm "sentences." This approach covers all possible rhythms found in classical music, pop, dance music, and jazz. rapDo! adapts to your progress: mastered rhythms are set aside, while challenging rhythms are repeated until you perfect them. At the same time, you’ll see how the spoken rhythms look in standard notation, allowing you to learn rhythm and sight-reading simultaneously. Learning with tonal syllables is a proven and globally recognized method. It is much faster and more effective than calculating with note values (quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, etc.). The rapDo! method is scientifically grounded. Its foundation is based on the groundbreaking teaching work Learning Sequences in Music by Edwin Gordon.
