The PC Tracks vs Ear Training for Auditions

The world’s first app designed specifically for percussionists to prepare orchestral excerpts for auditions, masterclasses, lessons, and performances. Every excerpt comes with a painstakingly time-edited orchestral recording, a metronome track, and a solo instrument track that can all be turned on or off with the flick of a switch. The best part? You can adjust the tempo of every track to the exact BPM you need. Want to play Magic Flute at 92 BPM? No problem. Scherzo Capriccioso at 100 and switch to 140 at the Presto? You got it. Free tracks are open to everyone, with no account. The full library is included in a membership of The Percussion Conservatory. Use your account to sign in with the same credentials right here in the app.

Ear training for students preparing for a music high-school or conservatory audition. The five item types of the first stage — single note, interval, chord, melodic memory, rhythmic memory — split into 70 topics along the standard categories of music theory. Pick the topics you want; after every question see exactly where you were off, in cents and milliseconds. TARGET AND YOU Your pitch trace lies over the target band: did you scoop into the note, how wide is your vibrato, where did you drift? For rhythm, which beat went which way, beat by beat. LEVEL PATH If you don't know where to start, the app tells you. Three levels, fifteen units: from telling two notes apart to a full exam paper. Every step is measured, and the next one opens once you master the last. Topic practice is still there, untouched. PRACTICE MODES • Level path — the app answers "what should I practise today?" • Topic practice — 70 topics, as many as you like • Intonation practice — sing while you see the notes (long tone, scale, arpeggio, melody) • Full exam simulation — with its scoring rubric shown • Stage-two practice — sing your own piece; breath, phrases, and the range the piece needs against your own comfortable range • Vocal range measurement and how it changes over time • Tuner and metronome NOTHING TO MEMORIZE Every question is generated on the spot; there is no question bank. Stimuli stay inside your measured range — your ear is tested, not your vocal cords. HONESTY We measure pitch and timing. Timbre, emotion and expression are not measured and we do not claim otherwise. The simulation's score is not a prediction of your real exam result, and the screen says so. Stage-two practice has no score. PRIVACY Audio is never recorded and never leaves your device. No account, no ads, no data collection. The app's own code makes no network connections. SUBSCRIPTION Topic practice, intonation practice, the exam simulation and stage-two practice come with a monthly subscription; 7 days free. The tuner, the metronome and range measurement are free. On the level path, the first exercise of every unit is free. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
