Ear Training App

Excuse my ignorance but I purchased the Ear Training App and I for the life of me can’t work out exactly what Im supposed to do. Obviously it plays an interval and Im supposed to guess what it is, but where do I click for the different intervals. Is there an option for an Octave? Do I select the root note at any stage or just the other two. Can someone please enlighten me because Im using it as part of my practice schedule and I really have no idea how it works. Thanks

Hi! You have to click on HOME, in the upper left corner of the screen, then you click on Settings and from there you can choose the intervals you’re currently practicing, also octaves🙂

Thank you Silvia. I cant work out how to add an octave, but what youve said made me realise im on level 1 and only working on perfect 4ths and 5ths so thats made it a lot easier to work with. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I was like a headless chicken before. Cheers!

The best way for me was to have the ‘game mode’ set to training rather than levels and then add one interval at a time,


I went in order from the module to start with as I learnt the reference songs

Please excuse my ignorance. - but what do I do to “answer”. For example - I am in Training mode, I have both Sound and Answer input set to guitar, I have selected only unison interval and note steps ascending. - so I go “back”. My phone screen shows the R root symbol on fret 3 A string. (C note).
I press the play button and hear 2 tones
NOW what do I do? I
Again - sorry. and Thanks

Hi Frank, welcome to the community.

With only unison selected, you won’t have much of a challenge. To ‘answer’ you just have to select the ‘R’ to indicate its the root note I.E. same note played twice.

Back in settings try adding perfect 5th and maybe perfect 4th.

Now you should have ‘R’ ‘4’ and ‘5’ as possible answers :slightly_smiling_face:

Add more when you can tell the difference easily. I just add one more at a time.
