Ear Dojo vs At First Sight

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.

To improve your sight-reading, you have to read music you have never seen before. When you practice from standard sheet music books, your fingers memorize the notes after one or two tries. After that, your hands rely on muscle memory instead of real reading. At First Sight gives you an endless supply of fresh piano sight-reading material. Instead of static exercises from a book, the app generates new sheet music based on the exact skills you want to practice. Sit at your piano, pick your difficulty settings, and read a new piece every session. STRUCTURED PIANO PROGRESSION Practice at your current skill level, from single-note reading to two-hand counterpoint: • Beginner Foundations: Read single lines, stationary five-finger positions, and simple stepwise intervals across the treble and bass clefs. • Two-Hand Coordination: Practice hands together with parallel motion, contrary movement, and wider octave spans. • Advanced Independence: Work on independent voices, syncopated rhythms, and authentic left-hand accompaniment styles. TWO WAYS TO TRAIN 1. Learn Mode (Notation & Theory Fundamentals) Review core notation concepts step-by-step: clef recognition, pitch reading, note values, accidentals, key signatures, and interval distances. Interactive lessons and quizzes build your note-reading foundation before you sit down at the keys. Foundational lessons are free, with advanced theory and rhythm modules available in Pro. 2. Generative Trainer (Daily Bench Practice) Create targeted sight-reading drills on demand: • Keys: Major and minor key signatures from 0 to 7 sharps and flats. • Meter and Rhythm: Simple and compound time signatures with progressive rhythmic levels (from quarter notes to dotted rhythms and syncopation). • Accompaniment Patterns: Drill genuine keyboard textures including Alberti bass, broken chords, block harmony, waltzes, and stride. • Length: Select quick 4-measure sight-reading sprints or full musical phrases. BUILT FOR PIANO PRACTICE • Clear Classical Engraving: Standard sheet music notation formatted to stay sharp and readable on phone and tablet music stands. • Works Completely Offline: Practice anywhere without Wi-Fi.
