What is ear training?
Ear training is the practice of identifying notes, intervals, chords, rhythm, and tonal gravity by listening. It builds the link between sound, theory, and physical response.

Theory
Add a tonic, scale context, and answer strategy when you want a more musical practice frame.

Ear Training Guide
Ear training connects recognition, memory, and musical reaction so you can hear structure instead of guessing.
Melodic intervals
Melodic interval training focuses on notes heard one after the other. It helps you recognize direction, distance, and contour in melodies.
Harmonic intervals
Harmonic interval training focuses on notes heard together. It strengthens your perception of blend, tension, consonance, and chord color.
Absolute pitch
Absolute pitch practice asks you to name a heard note directly. Even without perfect pitch, repeated exposure can improve note memory and instrumental reference.
Relative pitch
Relative pitch is the ability to identify notes through context: tonic, scale degree, and interval distance. It is the most practical ear skill for improvisation, composition, and ensemble work.
Microtonal ear training
Microtonal ear training expands listening beyond 12-tone equal temperament. It develops sensitivity to alternate tuning systems, new interval sizes, and unfamiliar tonal centers.
