Ear Dojo vs Practical Ear Training

Ear Dojo is a focused ear-training app for musicians who want stronger pitch, rhythm, interval, harmony, and singing skills without subscriptions. Built around a belt-based curriculum, Ear Dojo guides you step by step through short, focused exercises that fit easily into daily practice. Instead of overwhelming you with random drills, Ear Dojo provides a clear path: learn, train, test your skills, and advance through the belts. At the center of the experience is the Sensei guidance system. Sensei Night Fox studies your training history, identifies developing strengths and weak concepts, and recommends what to practice next. Clear feedback and focused strategy help your training feel guided rather than scattered. Ear Dojo develops the listening skills musicians use in real music: recognizing pitch, hearing and singing intervals, identifying chords, following harmonic movement, improving rhythmic accuracy, strengthening musical memory, and developing steadier intonation. Core training areas include: Solfège Recognition Solfège Singing Melodic Memory Interval Recognition Interval Singing Chord Recognition Chord Progressions Rhythmic Tap Syncopation Rhythmic Dictation Each belt introduces new musical vocabulary and progressively more challenging material. Yellow Belt begins with accessible foundations, while Orange through Black Belt gradually expand the melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and singing demands. Detailed instructions, real-time score and accuracy feedback, timing and pitch displays, progress history, concept mastery, belt tests, and shareable certificates help make improvement visible. The Learn section provides pressure-free references for scales, intervals, and chords. Tool Pack I adds a metronome, tuner, pitch pipe and drone, and tap tempo for daily practice, intonation work, rehearsals, and lessons. Optional specialty packs provide four additional trainings and a dedicated test: Polyrhythms Perfect Tempo Jazz Harmony Singing Camp The free download includes Learn, Sensei guidance, and the complete Yellow Belt training path and test. Optional one-time purchases can unlock Orange through Black Belt, Tool Pack I, individual specialty packs, or the complete Ear Dojo Pro experience. Ear Dojo is designed for music students, teachers, singers, instrumentalists, composers, producers, and anyone who wants to hear music more clearly. Train your ear. Sharpen your instincts. Earn your belt.

Practical Ear Training helps musicians recognize what they hear and connect it to the notes they play. Practice five essential listening skills: • Melodies — listen, explore the piano, then reproduce each phrase • Intervals — identify every interval from unison to octave • Chord progressions — recognize common, functional, minor-key and modal patterns • Chord qualities — distinguish major, minor, diminished and augmented triads • Scales — learn major, minor, pentatonic, blues, modal, whole-tone and diminished sounds MAKE PRACTICE YOUR OWN Choose the key, scale, octave and tempo. Focus on exactly the intervals, chords, scales and progression types you want to learn. Start with simple root-position chords and short melodies, then add inversions, open voicings, rhythmic chords and longer phrases. LISTEN WITH DIFFERENT SOUNDS Train with sampled grand piano, nylon guitar, trumpet and clarinet sounds. Changing the instrument helps you recognize musical ideas by pitch and structure instead of memorizing one timbre. PLAY, SEE AND UNDERSTAND Use the touch piano to find notes before answering or to perform a melody. After revealing the answer, follow it on an animated piano roll, piano keyboard, guitar, bass, ukulele or mandolin fretboard. Chord exercises show both chord names and Roman numerals. CHECK YOUR SKILLS Take a balanced 20-question ear test covering melodies, intervals, chord progressions, chord qualities and scales. See an overall result plus a score for each skill, then repeat the test later to compare your progress. BUILD A PRACTICE HABIT Track recent accuracy, completed exercises and individual strengths. Your practice history and test results stay on your device. Practical Ear Training is designed for music students, self-taught musicians, pianists, guitarists and anyone who wants a more confident musical ear. Practice as much as you like—no account, subscription or usage limit.
