Most ear training apps ask you to click the right answer. jAMSKOOL makes you sing it back. Your microphone scores every note in real time. Sing the interval. Sing the chord tone. Sing the scale degree. Get it right and move on. Miss it and try again. No multiple choice. No guessing. Just your voice and your ear, getting better every day. WHAT YOU'LL TRAIN - Intervals — recognize and sing the distance between two notes - Chord tones — identify and sing individual notes within a chord - Scale degrees — hear where you are in a key and sing your way home - Sight singing — read a melody and sing it back - Guess the note — identify pitches by ear - Party Mode — multiplayer ear training for groups HOW IT WORKS Sing into your mic. The app detects your pitch in real time and scores every note. You don't tap an answer — you produce one. That's the difference between knowing music and being able to do it. WHO IT'S FOR Singers, musicians, music students, and anyone who wants to develop a reliable musical ear. Whether you're just starting or already performing, the gap between hearing something and being able to reproduce it is exactly what this app trains. One-time purchase. Keep it forever.
