About this app

Master your musical ear - become an Earonman.

Earonman is the most comprehensive ear training app for musicians of all levels. From basic intervals to advanced jazz harmonies, level up your skills through interactive exercises, real-time feedback, and a gamified learning path.

AUTHENTIC SOUND
Practice with samples from a real Petrof III grand piano, recorded at Baracca Records. Switch between 8 instruments: piano, Rhodes, strings, harp, electric guitar, flute, clarinet, and French horn.

MIDI KEYBOARD SUPPORT (Android)
Connect a MIDI keyboard via USB or Bluetooth and answer with the keys instead of tapping the screen. Especially powerful in Harmonic Quest and Guido Quest, where playing your answer on real keys trains your ear, your hands, and your harmonic intuition at the same time. Also available in Practice Mode for focused drilling without time pressure.

LEARN WITH DR. EARMOND SHARP
Every lesson is an interactive conversation with your witty musical guide. No boring textbooks - just engaging, step-by-step explanations that stick.

STEP-BY-STEP CURRICULUM
Over 200 levels across multiple sections - a clear path from your first interval to complex jazz voicings:
Melodic & Harmonic Intervals
Major, Minor, Diminished & Augmented Triads
Seventh Chords (Maj7, min7, dom7, dim7 and more)
Compound Intervals (9ths through 14ths)
Scales & Modes (Ionian to Locrian, Melodic Minor modes)
Jazz Voicings (Shell, Drop 2, Quartal, Upper Structures, Block Chords)
Extended Chords (add9, 6th, 9th, 11th, 13th)
Slash Chords (D/F#, C/E and friends)

GAMIFIED PROGRESS
Earn XP, unlock badges, climb the weekly leaderboards, and track your streaks. Browse your league history and dig into any past result. Earonman turns ear training into a game you actually want to play - think Duolingo, but for music.

PRACTICE MODE
Drill any area without pressure: Intervals, Chords, Scales, and Jazz Voicings. No timers, no XP loss, no lives - just focused training. Free for everyone, with the Jazz Voicings lab a favorite among jazz pianists working out comping ideas by ear.

ADVANCED QUESTS
Five specialized training modes for serious musicians:
Harmonic Quest: Step-by-step harmonic exercises inspired by multiple approaches including the Barry Harris method. Build real harmonic understanding, not just recognition.
Functioneer Quest: Step inside the harmony. Hear secondary dominants (V/V, V/ii and friends) resolve to their target chords with proper voice-leading. Train your ear on the same chord progressions across different voicings.
Guido Quest: Master guide tones, the 3rds and 7ths that shape every jazz chord. Hear one tone, find the other.
Hybrid Lab: Identify hybrid chords by the interval between bass note and the triad above.
Polychordist: Recognize polychords by their stacked-triad structure.

SMARTER STATS
Redesigned Stats show your accuracy and time per quest type, plus a per-session breakdown. See notation for every exercise.
