Ear Training vs Audonia

ToneSeed is a complete ear training app for musicians, music theory students, and singers. An adaptive engine learns your strengths and weaknesses, then builds every session around what you need to practice most. INTERVAL TRAINING Identify ascending, descending, and harmonic intervals from unison to octave. The adaptive engine tracks your accuracy for each interval and direction, challenging you where you're weakest. Anchor each interval with reference songs you know. CHORD RECOGNITION Learn to identify 11 chord types: major, minor, diminished, augmented, sus2, sus4, and all seventh chords (Maj7, min7, dom7, dim7, m7b5). Train with root position through 3rd inversion. SCALE IDENTIFICATION Recognize 12 scale types: major, natural minor, harmonic minor, melodic minor, major and minor pentatonic, blues, and 5 modes (Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Locrian). Each scale plays as a melody with staff notation. VOCAL WARMUP Guided 5-, 8-, or 12-minute routines: sirens, lip-trills, hums, scales, arpeggios, and a sustained-tone messa di voce. Transposed through your own vocal range with a soft drone for support. SOLFEGE SINGING Sight-singing practice with real-time pitch detection. 26 progressive exercises across 7 major keys, from stepwise motion to challenging leaps. INTERVAL SINGING Hear only the root, then sing the second note of the interval. Octave-independent matching lets you sing in your own range. CHORD ENTRANCE Hear a chord, then sing its 3rd or 5th. A pitch meter shows where you landed, and feedback distinguishes correct from confused-with from non-chord-tone. MELODIC DICTATION Transcribe melodies by ear across 3 modes: - Diatonic: melodies in 5 major keys - Atonal: chromatic melodies with no key center - Melodic-rhythmic: combined pitch and rhythm transcription RHYTHMIC DICTATION Notate rhythms from memory across 8 difficulty levels — from basic quarter notes to complex patterns with dots, ties, rests, and triplets. CADENCE IDENTIFICATION Identify 4 cadence types (perfect authentic, plagal, half, deceptive) in major keys. CHORD PROGRESSIONS Identify 27 common chord progressions — pop staples like I–V–vi–IV, jazz ii–V–I turnarounds, 12-bar blues, and minor-key classics (Stairway, Andalusian cadence). Build custom practice sets by picking scale degrees, or choose a preset (Pop, Rock, Jazz, Blues, Classical). Answer by tapping the progression name or by tapping out the chords one at a time. EDUCATIONAL GUIDES Browse detailed guides for all intervals, chords, scales, and cadences. Hear examples, read character descriptions, and view staff notation.

Ear-training exercises on intervals, chord qualities, cadences, and chord progressions. The cadences and progressions follow common-practice harmony and voice-leading, the style taught in university and conservatory theory courses: the leading tone rises to the tonic, sevenths resolve down, and parallel fifths and octaves are avoided. What you hear sounds like real music, not random notes. Practice the ear-training skills music schools teach and test, on your own, without a teacher at the piano. The exercises: • Intervals: Name the interval between two notes, ascending, descending, or harmonic. • Chord Qualities: Identify a chord's quality across voicings, played as a block or an arpeggio. • Cadences: Recognize Authentic, Plagal, Half, and Deceptive cadences. • Chord Progressions: Identify each chord in a functional progression, with optional inversions and the dominant seventh. Why Audonia: • Compare to hear the difference. After you answer, replay your pick against the correct one. • See what you heard. Every answer names what was played: the notes of an interval or chord, or the chords and their inversions in a cadence or progression. • Endless practice. Every exercise is generated fresh on your phone, so you never run out and never repeat a worksheet. • Works offline. Generation runs entirely on your device; no connection needed. • Light or dark mode. Follows your system preferences, or set it yourself in Settings. • Real piano. Sampled from an actual grand piano, not synthesized tones.
