Professional musicians know, that having a good trained ear is one of the most important skills, a musician should have. goodEar was made to increase those skills and bring you on a new musical level!
It is made for all musicians, whether you are beginner or professional.
Functions:
• Choose from all intervals between 2 octaves
• Play them ascending, descending, or simultaneously
• Activate "backing chord" to hear the interval in harmonic context
• Create your own exercises, depending on your personal approach. (No annoying wizards)!
• Play the exercises on piano or give the answer with multiple-choice
• Watch your progress in statistics
• Make highscores, and try to challenge yourself
goodEar was made with the knowledge of various professional musicians and teachers, for giving you high quality music education on the iPad.
Very intuitive and nice interface. And I like the possibility to train big intervals (greater than an octave)
You can either play what you hear (by piano), or name what you hear (buttons). This is exactly what I want from an ear training app. And you can choose intervals, that are greater than an octave.-----> ✭✭✭✭✭ !!!
When you try to fix the tempo of the interval, it just resets itself after you leave the options menu and it doesn't change. PLEASE FIX!!!!
It's awesome for practicing intervals and really burning them into your ears, the only problem is that is goes too high up in the piano a lot where it is very difficult to distinguish notes
If you’re trying different ear/interval/pitch/harmony training apps, don’t go any further without trying goodEar. Your search will likely end right here. After experimenting with nearly every app of this kind (both free and paid), I have found goodEar to be the most effective of its kind. It is one of the only training apps that gives you a keyboard to visualize and input your responses instead of pressing labeled buttons. This engages the eyes and spatial recognition by showing the user the distance between pitches on the keyboard instead of hearing them only in their head, and also gains some familiarity with a piano keyboard for the user if they’re not already experienced or proficient. The app is focused and streamlined, without too many options or features that clutter the interface, and the user can easily and quickly customize and expand their exercises without being constrained by a required plan. The layout is easy to understand, since the app is refreshingly free of pointless options and preferences and offers only those customizations that serve a purpose and new challenge to the user. A very well-thought out and judiciously planned app. Will speed the user’s learning unlike any other on the App Store.
This entire series is a great alternative to games when I need a five-minute break. I hope the developer decides to bring it current with the latest iOS.
