Scale Degree Training
- Relative pitch
Hear a note in a key and say which scale degree it is — like 1, 3, or 5.
Ear Training
One place to practice the core listening skills musicians use every day — intervals, chords, scales, pitch, and rhythm. Each drill opens in its own trainer with scorecards and weak-spot tracking. Free, browser-based, no login.

Suggested learning pathShow
- 1
Start with pitch and intervals
Use Perfect Pitch Test for single-note recognition, then Interval Ear Training to hear distance between two notes. These two skills unlock almost everything else.
- 2
Add chords and scales
Move to Chord Ear Training for harmonic color, then Scale Practice (Ear tab) to recognize major and minor scale types by sound.
- 3
Keep rhythm in the loop
Use Got Rhythm for timing and pulse — a different muscle, but part of well-rounded aural skills.
On the roadmap
More drills are on the way — they will appear here when ready.
Melodic Dictation
- Transcription
Hear a short melody and write it down or pick the correct notation from the choices.
EAR TRAINING HUB
Ear training you can start in one click — and finish before your coffee cools
You do not need a semester-long course to make your ear sharper. You need a few focused minutes, a clear question (“was that a major third or a perfect fourth?”), and feedback that tells you what to repeat tomorrow. This hub collects our live drills in one place so you can jump straight to intervals, chords, scales, pitch, or rhythm without installing software or creating an account.
What is ear training?
Ear training is the work of linking sound to something you can name, sing, or play. That might mean hearing the gap between two notes, the quality of a chord, the type of a scale, a single pitch, or whether your tap landed on the beat. It is not a talent you either have or lack — it is a set of habits built in small sessions. Most working musicians rely on relative pitch (relationships inside a key) far more than perfect pitch, and every live module here is built around that reality.
Each trainer on this site handles one job at a time. Interval Ear Training offers five playback modes — ascending, descending, harmonic, and more — so you are not stuck with a single quiz format. Chord Ear Training splits single-chord color from short progressions. Scale Practice adds notation, piano, and vocal tabs when you want visual support, not only audio. Perfect Pitch Test scales from three notes up to a full chromatic set. Got Rhythm shows you early and late taps on a timeline. The point is not to mimic a desktop suite; it is to give beginners and intermediate players a honest starting line that still feels like real practice.
🌱
Beginner-friendly, not beginner-only
Starter presets and small custom sets keep early sessions manageable. When your scorecard stabilizes, widen the pool — harder intervals, seventh chords, more scale types — without switching apps.
🔬
Visual where it helps
Keyboard layouts, staff notation, pitch curves, and rhythm timing charts turn abstract listening into something you can see — especially when two answers sound uncomfortably close.
💫
Free, no login wall
Open a drill, configure your session, practice. Scorecards track weak spots across rounds so your next visit has a target instead of random guessing.
FEATURES
Multiple test modes, one simple workflow
Every module follows the same rhythm — listen, answer, review — but the drills themselves are not copy-paste quizzes. That variety matters when you are still learning which mistake is which.
Different skills, different shapes
Intervals give you five practice modes plus direction controls. Chords split recognition and progression work across two tabs. Scales link to a four-mode trainer when you want notation or sing-back checks. Pitch training toggles between listen-and-pick and see-and-sing. Rhythm scoring shows beat-by-beat timing on screen. You are not repeating one multiple-choice template five times.
- Five live modules: intervals, chords, scales, pitch, rhythm
- Configurable pools — note sets, chord types, scale modes, question counts
- Second chance per question plus session scorecards
- Visual feedback: piano keys, staff, pitch curves, tap timing
- Vocal pitch matching in Perfect Pitch and Scale Practice
- Roadmap items (scale degrees, melodic dictation) listed honestly — no fake “coming soon” filler
How to ear train without turning practice into noise
1. One skill per sitting
Intervals on Monday, chords on Tuesday, scales Thursday — the hub makes switching cheap, but your brain learns faster when each session has a single focus. Exam next week? Spend today on the module your teacher actually tests, not everything at once.
2. Start smaller than you think
Use Starter presets or three-note pitch sets before you chase the full chromatic chart. Fixed root in chord and scale drills removes transposition noise while you learn quality. Add variables only when the scorecard says the easy version is boring, not merely familiar.
3. Treat the scorecard as homework
Weak intervals, chord qualities, or scale types are your next playlist — not a guilt trip. Retry once with the same settings, then change one knob: speed, direction, clef, or pool size. That beats resetting everything and wondering why Tuesday felt easier than Thursday.
4. Use visuals as training wheels, then remove them
Piano and staff views in scale practice are bridges: see the whole-step map, then return to ear-only mode. Rhythm’s timing chart shows whether you rush the downbeat. When the pattern sticks, hide the picture and trust the sound.
IN PRACTICE
How people actually use this hub
Short sessions, specific weak spots — typical notes from students and teachers, not ad copy.
I keep this page bookmarked and rotate drills through the week. Ten minutes of intervals, chord progressions another day — the scorecard tells me what to retry instead of me guessing.

"For theory class I start students on Perfect Pitch with three notes, then point them here for intervals. One URL in the syllabus beats five separate tools nobody opens."

Piano teacher / Weekly lessons
"Perfect Pitch for note names, Scale Ear Training for major vs harmonic minor — that pair fixed a lot of my sight-singing nerves before choir auditions. No app install on my phone was a plus."
