ET - Ear Trainer

ET - Ear Trainer is the kind of app musicians use when they want ear training without a teacher sitting in the room. By our assessment, it does one narrow job well: interval, chord, and pitch recognition practice in a phone-sized format. The trade-off is obvious too, because progress here depends on repeated attention and honest listening, not on the app doing the work for you. In practice that means short drills, lots of tapping and checking, and the same kind of patience that any theory practice asks for. Compared with a full music course, it is smaller and more focused; compared with flashier learning apps, it stays close to the actual skill. ET - Ear Trainer suits people who already know they need basic aural practice, and it is less useful if they want a broad music lesson in one place.
