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.
