Read full descriptionHide full description
With Audiator, you can systematically learn solfège while simultaneously improving your musicality. With these audiation exercises, you train your ear and your inner sense of pitch, to respond musically with voice or instrument, and your understanding of music. Make music with this app: basics and chords in major and minor. The app sings for you on neutral or sofège syllables, you can directly imitate that and receive feedback, if the notes were in tune. Playfully learn to hear and understand the inner connections through solfège syllables. What you can sing yourself, you understand much better than if you count notes. The app supports you doing so. Additionally, you can play along with all exercises on your instrument, and the app recognizes different octaves. To learn the language of music, you ideally don't start with musical notation and theory, but with practice: listening, singing, making music. You can practice the little parts of music (patterns) here as musical vocabulary, even before written notation comes into play. Edwin E. Gordon has extensively researched and described this in his Music Learning Theory. On the start page, you get suggestions for what you can practice or review next. Upgrade to Audiator PRO: Practice 10 more units (100 exercises) in your app and create 100 of your own individual units.
