MyEarTraining vs Note Carpet

Ear training is highly essential for any musician - be it a composer, singer, songwriter or instrumentalist. It practices the ability to connect music theory elements (intervals, chords, scales) with real sounds you hear. The benefits of mastering ear training include improved intonation and musical memory, confidence in improvisation or the ability to transcribe music more easily. MyEarTraining makes ear training practice possible almost anywhere and anytime on the go, thus saving you from the hassle of assembling musical instruments. You can practically train your ears while waiting at the bus stand, traveling, or even at your coffee desk. >> APP FOR ALL EXPERIENCE LEVELS Whether you are new to music theory, need to prepare for an intensive school exam, or are an experienced musician, there are over 100 aural exercises to help you push your music skills. Users with no ear training experience begin with simple perfect intervals, major vs. minor chords and simple rhythms. Advanced users can progress through seventh chord inversions, complex chord progressions and exotic scale modes. You can use tonal exercises with solfeggio or singing exercises to improve your inner ear. Input answers using buttons or virtual piano keyboard. For major music topics, MyEarTraining offers different courses and lessons including basic music theory. Interval songs and practice piano are also included. >> COMPLETE EAR TRAINING MyEarTraining app works by combining different ear training approaches like isolated sounds, singing exercises, and functional exercises (sounds in tonal context) to train your ears, thus maximizing results. It’s designed for musicians who want to improve their relative pitch recognition abilities and get one step further towards perfect pitch. >> RECOMMENDED BY PROFESSIONALS ** Concept supported by Dr. Andreas Kissenbeck (University of performing Arts Munich) ** “The skill, knowledge and depth of the app is absolutely outstanding.” - Educational App Store ** “I truly recommend MyEarTraining to improve the ability to fully recognize intervals, rhythms, chords and harmonic progressions.” - Giuseppe Buscemi (classical guitarist) ** “#1 Ear Training App. MyEarTraining is an absolute necessity for anyone in the field of music.” - Fossbytes magazine” >> TRACK YOUR PROGRESS The app provides updated statistics to track your progress and can be easily synced to other devices. Use the statistics reports to see your strengths or weaknesses. >> ALL ESSENTIAL EXERCISE TYPES - Intervals training - melodic or harmonic, ascending or descending, compound intervals (up to double octave) - Chords training - including 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, inversions, open and close harmony - Scales training - major, harmonic major, natural minor, melodic minor, harmonic minor, neapolitan scales, pentatonics... all scales including their modes (e.g. Lydian #5 or Locrian bb7) - Melodies training - tonal or random melodies up to 10 notes - Chord inversions training - identify inversion of a known chord - Chord progressions training - random chord cadences or sequences - Solfege/functional training - do, re, mi... as single notes or melodies in given tonal center - Rhythm training - including dotted notes and rests in various time signatures You can create and parametrize your own custom exercises or challenge yourself with exercises of the day. >> SCHOOLS Teachers can use the MyEarTraining app platform to assign exercises to students and control their progress. They can also design their own customized courses and implement student-specific syllabus to help them learn better. For more information visit https://www.myeartraining.net/

The Note Carpet is an innovative music theory teaching aid. You can use it to illustrate tonal relationships and discuss musical issues. * Move notes to set a key and modulate. * Recognize the scale's own notes. * Play notes and chords with a simple sound. * Recognize enharmonically interchangeable notes. * Understand the relationships between notation, fifth relationships, keys, degrees. The Note Carpet consists of an immobile checkerboard-like grid with a highlighted center and a pattern of note names that can be moved against it. By shifting notes into the center you get: * The scale degrees of the notes, colored and numbered left and right. * The root, the red note in the center. * The mode, which you can recognize by the solmization syllable of the root (below and above). Do is major. La is minor. * The key (root and mode). * The scale and its accidentals (right). * The range of in-scale notes (white) and out-of-scale notes (black). * Aspects of musical notation: white notes can be written without accidentals, black notes must be written with accidentals at least once per bar. For a better understanding, common features of the notes are also displayed: * At the left, the root note of all notes in the line, i.e. without alteration. The sequence corresponds to the staff lines and spaces. * At the bottom, the note name without octave number. The sequence corresponds to the fifth relationships of the notes. At the bottom right is a number that encodes the projection of the key onto the mode circle of fifths. If you install the "Mode Cirkel" app or the "MIDI Solfa Mode-Go-Round" app, a button is displayed here that sends the current key to the corresponding app. There you can study further aspects of music theory.
