Ear training for all musicians:
EarMaster will challenge all trained and untrained ears. It is for all vocalists and musicians playing guitar, piano, bass, drums, flute or any other instrument. The broad range of exercise areas in EarMaster covers all your needs for training pitch, harmonies and rhythms. EarMaster includes exercises in identifying intervals, scales and modes, chords, chord inversions, chord progressions. You will also find exercises in transcribing melodies and rhythms, and in reading or imitating rhythms.
Highly interactive:
EarMaster gives instant visual and audio feedback on everything you do. You can interact with EarMaster using the staff or multiple-choice, or using one of the onscreen instruments: piano, guitar, bass, violin, cello, banjo and more. With a microphone you can sing, clap or even play your answers on your favorite instrument. EarMaster also supports MIDI input from for example a keyboard.
Monitor your progress:
EarMaster provides you with detailed information on your progress. Has my ear improved at identifying e.g. the minor 7th chord within the past 2 weeks? Do I answer faster? How much time did I spend training my ears in the past month? EarMaster provides all this information for you.
Exercise areas in EarMaster :
EarMaster offers 10 advanced ear training exercises in Intervals, Chords, Scales, Melodies and Rhythms. All exercises are developed together with music teachers and other music professionals. Each exercise will improve different areas of your musical ear and, together, they will develop greater musicality, confidence and enjoyment of music!
Intervals :
Once you get the hang of intervals, it will be easier to transcribe songs, compose songs or tune your guitar. It will help you figure out the melody of a song based on the intervals: "Oh, that's just a perfect fourth followed by a minor third". EarMaster has two exercises that will help you with just that:
Interval singing:
EarMaster plays a tone and asks you to sing or play an interval above or below this tone. Example: A tone (D) is being played and EarMaster says: "Sing the perfect fifth above D".
You can also use this exercise to learn to spell intervals. If you answer the question using one of the other answer input methods, then this exercise becomes an "Interval spelling" exercise.
Interval comparison:
EarMaster plays two intervals; you answer which one is larger. This exercise does not require any knowledge about notes and music theory. Therefore is it an excellent starting point for beginners.
Interval identification:
EarMaster plays an harmonic or melodic interval, you identify it by its name or transcribe the tones on either the piano, guitar or the notesheet.
Scales and modes:
A scale is the tonal basis of music i.e. a set of tones from which you build melodies and harmonies. With EarMaster you will learn to identify scales (like major, minor, blues, bebop, etc) and church modes (like dorian, phrygian, etc):
Scale identification:
EarMaster plays a scale or mode, you identify it by its name or transcribe the tones on either the piano, guitar or the note sheet.
Chords:
Knowing chords and harmonies is another important part of song transcription and composition or if you improvise or play by ear. To put harmonies and chords in music requires that you can hear and feel the quality of chords and their function within a given key. EarMaster has three exercises that will help you with just that:
Chord identification and Chord-inversion identification:
EarMaster plays an harmonic or melodic chord, you identify it by its name or transcribe the tones on the piano, guitar or the note sheet.
Chord progression identification:
EarMaster plays a chord progression (like II mi7 - V 7 - I maj), you identify it by its name or choose the step and quality for each chord.
Rhythms:
The demands for a musician’s rhythmic abilities are increasing in modern music. A fine sense of rhythmic variations, the ability to feel a tempo and keep it, are important for any musician. It is not enough to be able to read or hear individual note values, you must identify a rhythm as a series of rhythm patterns. EarMaster has three exercises that will teach you to read and hear rhythms:
Rhythm dictation:
EarMaster plays a rhythm, you transcribe it.
Rhythm reading:
EarMaster shows a rhythm score. You clap the rhythm following the metronome. Clap your hands in front of the microphone, tap the rhythm on the space bar or play it on your MIDI instrument.
Rhythm imitation:
EarMaster plays a rhythm. You clap the rhythm following the metronome. Clap your hands in front of the microphone, tap the rhythm on the space bar or play it on your MIDI instrument.
Rhythm correction:
EarMaster shows a rhythm score and plays the same rhythm with a few changes. You identify what changes were made.
Melodies:
Can you transcribe a tune when you hear it? Do you have perfect pitch?
Melody dictate:
EarMaster plays a melodic phrase. You transcribe it on the staff, on the guitar tablature or on the piano. Step by step you come closer to perfect pitch.
Using a Microphone:
EarMaster allows you to use a microphone to clap, sing or play answers on your favorite instrument.
Using a microphone makes ear training more interactive - and fun!
No special hardware is required. Just plug a microphone into your sound card.
EarMaster uses the General MIDI in your sound card to play all sounds. It gives you 128 different instruments and sounds to choose from.
The 128 instruments and sounds are grouped in 16 "families" :
Piano, Guitar, Bass, Brass, Pipe, Organ, Reed, Solo Strings, Ethnic, Chromatic Percussion and more.

Your teaching assistant:
EarMaster comes with a jazz tutor and a standard tutor with a total of 651 lessons! They are ready to use in your teaching or they can be inspiration for you to make your own lessons in the Tutor editor. You can place a test among the lessons with time limits and other special restrictions. Your custom made tutor will challenge the students individually based on their performance.
Students are challenged individually based on their performance and they receive instant feedback. As a teacher you can focus on the most difficult questions and explain the confusing concepts involved. Teachers have access to live statistics on students' performance so problems can be addressed individually or group wise.
Ear training after class:
Students can do ear training lessons after class - as homework in the computer lab. The high score in EarMaster motivates student to compete, and put in extra hours on ear training. You can email your own tutors to your students so they can work with EarMaster at home*. The students can email their results to you from their home computer, or bring it to school on a USB flash drive. The results are added to EarMaster so you can view them together with all other users’ results.
EarMaster School is a motivating and effective teaching tool. Your students will acquire much better ears than by other teaching methods.
