About

Intonation Training

Features
Read full description

Intonation Training listens through your microphone and scores your intonation against written music, in time. A tuner shows you that one held note is 12’ sharp — it can't tell you that you go sharp on the leap into the high register, or flat when you tire at the end of a phrase, or that C#5 has been your problem note for a month. This does. Play the exercise; the app hears every note and shows you which ones you miss. How it works for real practice: ‒ Scored against written music, in time — eight measures on the staff, judged note by note as they pass. You train intonation the way it actually fails: in motion, at tempo, under a pulse — not one held note at a time. ‒ Trouble notes — the exact pitches you miss most, with hit rate and attempt count. "My intonation is shaky" becomes "your C#5 is 61% over 34 attempts." Now practice has a target. ‒ Play and Hear — Play opens the mic and scores you; Hear loops the melody through the speaker with no mic and no judgement, so you can learn how it should sound before you're graded. ‒ Wait for me — stop for a breath and the music freezes until you play again. Silence never turns into a wall of red. ‒ Four strictness levels — Learner ±25’, Amateur ±15’, Pro ±10’, Studio ±5’. The app grows with you, from "find the pitch at all" to studio-tight. ‒ Brass and woodwind — eleven transpositions plus a bass-clef mode. The staff shows what you read; scoring judges the concert pitch that actually sounds. Trumpet, cornet, horn, the sax family, Bb and A clarinet, bass clarinet, flute, piccolo, oboe and English horn — plus a bass-clef mode for trombone, euphonium, tuba and bassoon. ‒ Built-in tuner — when you just need to tune up, a one-tap chromatic tuner is right there: the nearest note and how many cents sharp or flat, with plain-language feedback. It follows your instrument's transposition and note-name setting, so it names the note you actually read. Track real progress: ‒ Per-exercise stats — attempts, best and average accuracy, current and best streak, fastest clean tempo, and an accuracy-over-time chart. Weeks of practice become a line going up. ‒ Badges to earn, a sample-locked metronome with an optional count-in, and auto-bump tempo that steps up on its own when you play a loop clean. ‒ Practice reminders that ask you back. Read music your way: ‒ Note names in letters (C D E), German (H/B), or solfège (Do Re Mi) — independent of the app's language. ‒ Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. 735 built-in exercises — major and minor scales, chromatics, pentatonics, blues, whole-tone, diminished, intervals and speed studies — plus import of song and library share codes from Trumpet Trainer, French Horn Trainer and Trombone Trainer. Free to start: ‒ Practise and score 24 built-in exercises free — the 1234 and 1231 patterns in all twelve keys — and listen to any exercise in Hear mode at no cost. ‒ A single one-time unlock opens everything — scoring on all 735 exercises, plus editing, importing share codes, and sharing your own. One purchase, no subscription. A tuner judges one note in isolation. Intonation Training scores a written line, at tempo, and remembers the result per exercise — so progress means something across weeks, not seconds.
