Music takes practice, but nobody can do it alone and we’re here to help. Are you a student looking to work on your aural skills and ear training? Have you been a lifelong musician and want a chance to learn more about the music you’ve been playing? Or maybe you're a curious music lover? You’re in the right place!

You’ll have a chance to learn about intervals, chords, scales and melodic dictation with our training section. Then you’ll get to practice what you learned with our quiz mode. We have relevant examples with musical context to help make what you're listening to fun and interesting.

Difficulty settings allow you to focus on your current ability. For example, if you’re already comfortable with major and minor chords, skip straight to 7th chords. If chords feel like too much for now, start with going over intervals first and work your way up. You can limit what you get quizzed on: if you prefer to focus only on what’s introduced in a higher difficulty (the intermediate scale difficulty is primarily modes and pentatonic scales, for instance), you can be quizzed on just that. Or you can make the quiz cumulative and include all the easier difficulties as well as the one selected. Fine tune for your learning!

Box Metaphor Studios is committed to providing a musical experience to help you become a more well-rounded musician. We are always open to feedback on our musical goals, as well as any other comments or concerns around our app. Thanks for including us in your musical journey.
