Melody Ear Training

Melody Ear Training is for musicians who need to hear intervals, scales, chords, and melodic shapes with less guesswork. By our assessment, that is a solid use of an app: it does one narrow job that regular practice often needs. Its strength is repetition, because ear training lives on quick drills and immediate correction. The downside is also built in, since this kind of app can only help if the user keeps coming back and doing the work; it will not make the ear better by itself. In practice, these apps tend to feel a bit like flashcards for listening, which is exactly the point and also the limitation. Melody Ear Training sits in the same family as other music-study tools, not as a creative instrument or a theory textbook. The Astrina catalogue files it under Music, which fits the purpose plainly.
