In the app, you have the option to practice ear training by setting the number of notes, difficulty, key signature, tempo, and clef to your liking. • Practice Tip! The recommendation is to practice ear training by gradually increasing the number of notes. Absolute Pitch Quiz(1 note) → melody Interval Quiz(2 notes) → Short Melody Quiz(3-5 notes) → Long Melody Quiz(6-10 notes) • The difficulty level can be selected from 1 to 6. Level 1 has melodies that are simple with few accidentals, but as difficulty increases, more complex melodies with chromatic scales are presented. • Key Signatures: You can select 9 key signatures. Each key signature contains melodic questions in either major or minor keys. In addition, melodic questions that can be transposed from major to minor or from minor to major. Also you can listen to atonal music by selecting 'Atonal'. • Tempo: You can change the tempo of the melody by choosing quarter notes, eighth notes, or sixteenth notes. The faster the note, the more difficult it is. • Clef: You can choose between G clef, C clef, F clef. If you can select the F clef, you will hear melodies in the lower range. • Check your answer: You can check the answer either in text format or on a score. If you select the text option, you will only be shown whether the answer is correct or the number of wrong notes. Since you don't know the exact answer, you can practice until you get the right answer. • When you have completed all the questions, your total score will be displayed. If you achieve a complete score on high difficulty, you will see a stunning fireworks animation. • The melodic questions on the app are created based on the probability of random numbers. So, you can listen to an almost infinite number of new melodies and each melody is programmed to be created with careful consideration of musical aspects. We hope that your sense of pitch will be greatly upgraded through this app. Thank You :) * Lottie Animation (Lottie Simple License) - Animation fireworks! by Ellie at lottiefiles.com - Animation Fireworks by nekogrammer at lottiefiles.com - Animation Stars by Bertina at lottiefiles.com * SimpleToast Copyright [12.07.20.] [Martin Albrecht] Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
