Help children truly understand music by listening, tapping rhythms, singing, and reading notes! Ear Training Master for Kids turns serious music learning into engaging interactive challenges. It develops four essential abilities: recognizing sounds, understanding rhythm, singing directly from sheet music, and reading notes. The app has 19,573 exercises, arranged in progressive levels. Children begin with basic notes, beats, and music notation, then advance to intervals, chords, accidentals, complex rhythms, and melodies, building a strong musical foundation step by step. Listen to melodies and reproduce them on the piano keyboard to improve listening accuracy. Drag rhythm patterns into the correct positions or tap a drum along with the beat to develop a steady sense of rhythm. Sing from sheet music while a real-time visual guide shows pitch and accuracy. See a note and quickly find the matching piano key, making music reading more natural with every practice session. In addition to the structured levels, the app offers a wide range of customizable practice. Choose the exercise content, note range, tempo, time signature, intervals, chords, rhythm patterns, number of questions, and difficulty to create a personal practice plan for different abilities and learning goals. Immediate feedback, learning statistics, review of previous mistakes, and daily practice help children focus on weak areas and clearly see their progress. Ideal for children's music education, learning an instrument, and systematically developing listening, rhythm, singing, and music-reading skills.
