There are 13 different exercises included, starting from interval recognition all the way down to chord progressions - perfect for beginners and music-masters alike!


YOU DECIDE HOW TO TRAIN!

With »Better Ears« you can decide for yourself what your training routine should look like. There are no rules you have to follow, you decide when to start and how often to practice.

»Better Ears« includes 13 different exercises:
• Interval recognition
• Scale recognition
• Chord recognition
• Chord progressions
• Pitch recognition
• Melodic dictation
• Tempo recognition
• Key Signature recognition
• Music reading
• Interval music reading
• Scale music reading

CUSTOM CHORDS, SCALES AND CHORD PROGRESSIONS

The new editor for Chords, Scales and Chord Progressions allows you to add your own items.


6 DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS

Choose your training sound out of six different instruments. Better Ears comes with Acoustic Grand piano, Bright Acoustic Piano, Electric Grand Piano, Drawbar Organ, Nylon Acoustic Guitar and Steel Acoustic Guitar.


CUSTOM SOUNDS WITH SOUNDFONTS

With the help of SoundFonts (.sf2) you have the possibility to extend Better Ears with your own sounds.


KEYBOARD AND FRETBOARD

»Better Ears« comes with a virtual keyboard and virtual guitar fretboard. You can key notes on either.


ANSWER WITH YOUR VOCALS OR WITH A REAL INSTRUMENT

The integrated pitch detection allows you to answer the questions with your voice or a real instrument (e.g. piano or guitar). Simply play the individual tones on your instrument or sing them when the microphone button lights red.


FOUR PRESET LEVELS

»Better Ears« ships with four preset levels:
• Beginner
• Easy
• Normal
• Professional


UNLIMITED CUSTOM LEVELS

Additionally you can create your own levels, letting you train to your own specific needs. Put yourself in "Training Camp" to learn church modes, or concentrate on those two pesky intervals that constantly cause you problems.


SYNC ALL OF YOUR DEVICES

With »Better Ears« you can keep your Mac and your iOS devices in sync. You can choose what to sync: Your own levels, your statistics, your settings or all of this.


MIDI SUPPORT

»Better Ears« supports routing sound through an external MIDI device, allowing you to use your existing MIDI master keyboard or sound module. You can even control »Better Ears« using a connected keyboard.


STATISTICS

For every exercise »Better Ears« knows all your current stats, including how often you have answered each question correctly or incorrectly.


WIKIPEDIA INTEGRATION

Hanz Jalkhi ,

Excellent!

Well designed and well served for musicians of all levels.
I use this app almost every day now - first thing in the morning & last thing before going to sleep.
One thing missing - I believe - which is the option of playing the piano independently before entering the answers.
I believe playing the scale in question from memory will help serve the learning process better.
Finally, I bought this app using the link provided in the free version. Unfortunately I still see the free version app logo on my screen and other minor issues to GUI.
Finally, worth every penny.

nazz is my nickname give it back ,

Cool, especially when it costs nowt

Some folks have criticised this app for being a little simplistic but I think it's great. How much functionality do you expect for a music tutor software that fits in your palm. It's great little application to test your ear while sitting on the bus etc.

Great app for students esp.

Very good app, particularly as it's free! As a music student, it helps me a lot, however I wouldn't pay for the full version as I am quite a cheapo!
