BassEducation Ear Trainer

Name what you hear: intervals, chord types, modes, and scale degrees on a warm sampled piano. Or explore freely in the new Free Play mode. Difficulty that grows with you.

Great ears aren't a gift — they're a habit. BE Ear Trainer builds yours a few minutes at a time.

Open the app, hit Play, and start naming what you hear. No setup, no theory lecture — just sound, your answer, and instant feedback.

Four ways to train: name the distance between two notes (Intervals), the color of a chord — major, minor, sevenths (Chord Quality), the mood of a scale, like Dorian or Mixolydian (Modal Color), or where a note sits in the key (Scale Degrees, with numbers or solfège). Questions play on a warm, real sampled piano — clear, musical reference tones, not synth beeps.

And when you just want to explore, switch to Free Play: a no-quiz reference mode. Pick Intervals or Chords, tap any one to hear it from any root, and read a quick theory card — the actual notes, the spelling, and where it turns up in real music. It's the perfect warm-up before you test, or a fast way to check a sound.

Difficulty grows with you: start with a handful of answers and unlock more as you level up. A built-in coach gives hands-on tips for every mode, and two printable cheat-sheets — a practice field guide and a theory reference (modes, chords, and how they're built) — are yours to save or share as a PDF. Your streaks and stats stick around, so you can watch the habit pay off.

Built by a touring bassist and educator who uses this exact practice to keep his ears on the bandstand.
