Ear4Music: Ear Training

Ear4Music teaches you to recognize musical notes by ear: calmly, step by step, with a method that pairs each note with a short melody.

The app is inspired by Pyotr Berezhansky's intonation method. Every note gets its own short melody that leads it home to the tonic, C. E walks down the steps (E–D–C), G runs up to the high C (G–A–B–C), and B gets there in one quick hop. Hear a note with its melody often enough and you will start to recognize it without the hint.

How it works • Start with just four notes: C, E, G and the high C. • Each new task adds one note (B, F, A and finally D) until you know the whole C major octave. • Every exercise starts by tuning your ear to C major: C–E–G–C and back. • Listen, wait for "Guess" to light up, then tap the matching key on the piano keyboard. • Wrong or too slow? The right key lights up green and the note plays again, so you remember the correct sound. • You pass an exercise with 90% correct answers. Then move on, or repeat it to make it stick.

Seven tasks, 156 exercises • An animated walkthrough with sound opens every task and explains the method in a friendly, playful way. • Notes with intonation: the note plus its melody, the bridge to hearing notes on their own. • Single notes without hints: the core of ear training. • Series of 2, 3 and 4 notes in a row train musical memory and reaction speed. • The tempo rises gradually from 15 to 65 notes per minute. • After the full octave of white keys, the last two tasks add the black keys F sharp and B flat.

Made for daily practice • A clear exercise path shows what you have done and what comes next. • After each session you see your correct, wrong and missed answers. • Progress is saved directly on your device. • An optional daily reminder around 11:00 if you haven't practiced yet. • Piano sound is generated inside the app, so you can train without an internet connection. • Interface in English, Czech, French, German, Russian, Spanish and Ukrainian. • The catalog already lists the next topics: the other black keys, other octaves, other instruments and chords.
