Ear Training L3 vs Kritus

The Moons is a drone-based ear training app for exploring and internalizing chords and chord progressions. It presents the seven diatonic chords as an interactive moons diagram where you can tap individual chords in a key and hear them against a sustained vocal drone. To see how your ear training is coming along, the app includes a fun and challenging test mode. Features: 12 tonal centers (all keys) 7 modes: Major, Mixolydian, Lydian, Natural Minor, Harmonic Minor, Dorian, Phrygian 7 diatonic chords with roles displayed visually Fun and challenging test mode MIDI Visualizer - see what you play displayed Male and female choirs Real Acoustic Cello Adjustable drone/chord mix balance Function and note name label modes Works offline — no internet required How it works: Chords Mode: Start the drone, then tap spheres of the moons to hear chords. Use the arrow selector to shift to the closest inversion either up or down. In male choir mode, the radio buttons above sound melody tones. In female choir mode, the same buttons trigger a bass tone below. Chords Test Mode: Start drone, choose levels, then begin. Listen to the chord played, click the corresponding moon to select, then press the checkmark to commit. Once you’ve committed, or when the timer runs out, you’ll receive feedback as to the accuracy of your selection. 3 levels in Chord Test Mode: 1) Root position chords 2) 1st Inversions 3) 2nd inversions (test individually or in combination) Progressions Mode: Start the drone. Select a chord then press “Add” to add it to the progression. Repeat up to four times. Press play to hear the progression. The slider below the progression speeds up or slows down the tempo. Activate “Loop” to loop the progression. Chord Progressions Test Mode: Start drone, choose levels, then begin. Listen to the chord progression played, click a series of 3 corresponding moons, first selecting then commiting each of the chords. Once you’ve commited, or when the timer runs out, you’ll receive feedback as to the accuracy of your selections. 4 levels in Chord Progression Mode: 1) Simple Cadences 2) Deceptive Cadences 3) Unresolved Progressions Level 3 of Ear Training in The Mandala L1 - The Fan & The Curtain (simple intervals) L2 - The Tower (intervals, chords, and connections) L3 - The Moons (chords and chord progressions)

Real musical ability lives in your ears — not on a page. Kritus is not music theory, and it is not lessons. It doesn't ask you to read, memorize, or recite. It trains the one thing every musician actually runs on — the ear. You hear a note, a chord, or a phrase, then find it on your instrument by sound alone. NO BACKGROUND NEEDED — AND NO WAY AROUND IT You don't need to read music. You don't need theory, or years behind you. But if you want to truly hear — to play what you imagine, pick out the music you love, and find your way through any song — there is only one path, and your ears have to walk it. Kritus is that path, from your very first note. PUT THE PAGE AWAY No sheet music. No fretboard diagrams. No keyboard maps. Kritus never shows you where to put your fingers, because reading the answer is not the same as hearing it. You listen, you search for it on your instrument, and you play it back — the microphone checks what you played, entirely on your device. WHAT YOU'LL PRACTICE - Single notes, intervals, chords, phrases, and full chord progressions. - Chords that open up: when one is hard to hear, its voices gradually separate so you can catch each on its own, then settle back into a single sound. - The River, which carries you through everything in the order real music actually uses it — practice and review woven together, always moving. - Guitar or piano, with reference sounds recorded from real instruments. A built-in guitar tuner, too. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Microphone audio is analyzed on your device in real time and immediately discarded — never recorded, saved, or uploaded. No accounts, no ads, no analytics.
