Sonofield Ear Trainer vs Aural Skills Training

Sonofield Ear Trainer (SET) is a revolutionary ear training app designed to help you intuitively play the melodies you hear and imagine. Instead of relying on traditional old methods like intervals, SET focuses on helping you feel the unique character of each note within a key. By using sustained drones to create a tonal foundation, you’ll learn to recognize scale degrees based on their *feeling*, not just how they sound. The app offers a variety of ways to train: * Degrees Mode - Identify individual notes against the drone by feeling. The heart of SET. * Melody Mode - Identify short melodic phrases, preparing you for real music. * Voice Mode - Sing the requested scale degree into your microphone. * Pocket Mode - Hands-free training for when you're on the go. * Free Play - An interactive instrument for exploration. With its intuitive, color-coded interface, thoughtfully designed progression path, and multiple difficulty levels, SET adapts to your skill level while keeping practice engaging. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced musician, SET is your guide to unlocking true musical fluency through intuitive, feeling-based ear training. No ads or forced payments. The free version contains full foundations for feeling-based ear training. Download the ear training app now!

Are you a student looking to work on your aural skills, ear training or musicianship class? Have you been a lifelong musician and want a chance to learn more about the music you’ve been playing? Or maybe you're a curious music lover? You’re in the right place! You’ll have a chance to learn about intervals, chords, scales, melodic dictation and common practice era harmonies with our training section. Then you’ll get to practice what you learned with our quiz mode. We have relevant examples with musical context to help make what you're listening to fun and interesting. Difficulty settings allow you to focus on your current ability. For example, if you’re already comfortable with major and minor chords, skip straight to 7th chords. If chords feel like too much for now, start with going over intervals first and work your way up. You can limit what you get quizzed on: if you prefer to focus only on what’s introduced in a higher difficulty (the intermediate scale difficulty is primarily modes and pentatonic scales, for instance), you can be quizzed on just that. Or you can make the quiz cumulative and include all the easier difficulties as well as the one selected. Fine tune for your learning!
