Functional Ear Trainer

Struggling to recognize melodies and harmonies by ear? This application transforms the often tedious process of ear training into an engaging and effective daily habit. Based on the renowned Alain Benbassat method, it teaches you to understand the function of each tone within a specific musical key, a skill crucial for any musician. Instead of just memorizing intervals, you learn to hear notes in context, which is how music is actually experienced.

The process is simple yet powerful. The app first establishes a key by playing a short chord progression (a cadence). It then plays a single note, and your task is to identify it. This method of functional pitch recognition is incredibly effective for developing a strong sense of relative pitch. With just 10 minutes of practice each day, you can dramatically improve your ability to:

• Play music by ear
• Improvise with confidence
• Transcribe songs more accurately
• Understand music theory on a deeper level

It's a straightforward path to developing one of the most valuable skills a musician can possess.
