Train your ears, not your memory. Ear Training - Modern is a free, ad-free app that helps musicians hear what they read and read what they hear. Every drill is randomized and playable in any key, so you build real listening skills instead of memorizing fixed examples. WHAT YOU'LL PRACTICE • Solfège & pitch — identify scale degrees and resolutions • Intervals — melodic and harmonic, 2nds through 7ths, ascending and descending • Triads — recognize major, minor, and the diatonic triads, including inversions • Chord progressions — hear common diatonic and major-triad movements • Melodic dictation — listen, then read the melody back on the staff HOW IT WORKS Set or hear the DO (tonic), play a drill, then tap what you heard. An animated score gauge tracks your accuracy, and a hands-free Automation mode runs round after round so you can drill with your eyes closed. WHAT'S INSIDE • Level 1 · Foundations — seven chapters covering solfège, every interval quality, triad recognition, progressions, and dictation • Level 2 · Progressions — major and diatonic triad movement • Plus bonus drills: interval & triad ID, find the DO, and all the solfège syllables BUILT FOR FOCUS • Completely free — no ads, no in-app purchases • Works fully offline — no account, no sign-in, no tracking • Real piano samples and clean music notation These exercises extend the approach of Mark Harrison's "Contemporary Eartraining" series (used with permission). Whether you're a student, singer, instrumentalist, or returning to theory, Ear Training - Modern gives you unlimited, randomized practice to sharpen your ear.
