Identify intervals, chords, and scales by ear. Play back melodies note by note on a virtual piano. Good Ear is a comprehensive ear training app for musicians who want structured, focused practice, whether you are preparing for an aural skills exam, building relative pitch, or sharpening your ears alongside your instrument.

FOUR TRAINING MODES

INTERVALS - 24 intervals from unison to compound 14ths. Practice ascending, descending, simultaneous, or random playback with optional harmonic backing.

CHORDS - 39 chord types across triads, seventh chords, extended chords, and altered dominants. Train with root position, first through third inversions, open voicing, and drop 2, played as block, rolled, or arpeggiated chords. Over 200 unique chord variations when combining types with voicings.

SCALES - 32 scales across six families: seven diatonic modes, seven harmonic minor modes, seven melodic minor modes, plus pentatonic, hexatonic, and octatonic families (including whole tone, diminished, and bebop). Practice in one or two octave ranges.

MELODIES - Play back melodies of 3 to 11 notes by ear on the piano keyboard. Choose diatonic or chromatic intervals with three difficulty levels. Melody dictation, exactly like an aural skills class.

TWO PRACTICE METHODS

Play it back on the piano keyboard: scrollable, with an 88-key overview bar, touch highlighting, and multi-touch support. Or tap multiple-choice buttons for quick recognition training. Switch between both methods at any time.

KNOW YOUR WEAKNESSES

Good Ear does not just count your score. It tracks accuracy per element, every interval, every chord type, every scale, and sorts them weakest first. You see exactly where you struggle and what needs focused practice.

• Per-element accuracy bars sorted by weakness
• 52-week practice calendar heatmap
• Session records: best streak, lifetime accuracy, total exercises
• Mastery indicators per element

CONFIGURE EVERY DETAIL

Adjust tempo, playback direction, voicing, inversion, play style, difficulty, melody length, octave range, and harmonic backing. Select exactly which intervals, chords, or scales to include in each session. Good Ear adapts to your level, from your first major scale to your last bebop mode.
