Ear Training - Rhythm Test PRO

This is the ad-free version.

This app has been designed to test and improve the ability to listen, retain and immediately reproduce a rhythmic motif. This a very important aspect for any musician and has to be developed whether you know how to read music or not.

It includes 100 rhythm tests. Each test is integrated by ten exercises. You will listen a rhythmic motif two times. The first time you have to pay attention to the point on which the keyboard plays. The second time you must click on a button at the same point on which the keyboard was played.

At the beginning we use very simple rhythmic motifs and gradually we increase the difficulty level. We use different types of time signatures and subdivisions. Again: it is not required to know how to read music to carry out the tests contained in this app.

From test 1 to test 70 you will see graphic animations in synchrony with the audio that make possible to see the number of beats of each time signature, its subdivisions and the points where each part of the rhythmic motif ocurres. From test 71 onwards the visual aid from graphic animations is reduced in order to work mainly on the auditive aspect.

The buttons in light blue correspond to a test that is the summary of the aspects worked on in the previous tests which correspond to the buttons in dark blue. The green buttons correspond to tests that contain a higher degree of difficulty in the sense that the help of animations and visual aspects is reduced.

These tests are a special type of ear training exercises аs they don’t include any written music. They have been specifically designed to practice the ability to reproduce a rhythmic motif just by listening to it.

In real practice there will be lots of situations on which you will need to play without a music sheet. You just listen the rhythm or the melody and you play it or you sing it. The emphasis in this app is to be able to repeat what you hear rhythmically.

If you are taking guitar lessons or piano lessons this app will be very useful for you. Playing guitar, piano, drums or any musical instrument is better done when you have a clear idea about the rhythm motifs. Perfect pitch is not a requirement to enter a music school because there will be ear training lessons. So this app is something you must have if you are on singing lessons, trying to learn how to read music, studying music scales, playing violin music or reading piano sheet music.

This app is useful for songwriters, arrangers, composers and people involved with any activity which requires being able to quickly retain and reproduce all types of rhythm motifs.
