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.

Verdict
