Intervals
Two notes, one gap. Major 3rd, Perfect 5th, Octave. The building blocks of every melody you've ever heard.
Train your ear until you hear what you've been missing. The consistent, daily practice that actually builds it.
"Playing is really more about listening than it is about playing."
Pat Metheny
Tap any card. The page plays it. Same notes, same timing, same waveform you'll be working with in the app.
Two notes, one gap. Major 3rd, Perfect 5th, Octave. The building blocks of every melody you've ever heard.
A scale up and back down. Tell Major from Natural Minor. Dorian from Mixolydian. By sound, not by ledger lines.
Four notes in sequence, then together. Major, Minor, Diminished, Augmented, Dominant 7. The quality, not the root.
Most music students mean to practice. Hardly anyone keeps it daily. On iPhone, Aubel ties the exercise to things you already do: waking up, and unlocking your phone.
It won't dismiss until you've named today's interval, scale, or chord. Solve a few in a row and the alarm stops. Not awake enough? You're off after a few misses.
Put Instagram, TikTok, whatever you doomscroll, behind a quick ear-training challenge. Want fifteen minutes? Name three intervals first.
Train mid-round, the alarm catch, stats, Focus, progression. iPhone, light and dark.
A trained ear shrinks the gap between what you imagine and what you play. You hear chord changes coming. You catch your own out-of-tune notes. You learn songs by listening.
