  1. Chord quality by ear

    Listen to a chord and name what it is — major, minor, diminished or augmented.

  2. Intervals by ear

    Hear two notes and name the distance between them — the skill behind playing by ear.

  3. Find the note

    A note is named on screen, then you find it on your own instrument — the map every player needs.

  4. Reading the treble clef

    Name the note on the staff — the skill that turns sheet music from a picture into something you can play.

  5. Reading the bass clef

    Name the note on the bass staff — where the left hand, the bass and the cello live.

  6. Tap the rhythm

    A pattern is drawn and played, and you tap it back — the drill that turns reading a rhythm into playing one.

  7. Building chords

    Build any triad on your own instrument — the four qualities mixed together, then the same chords with a different note in the bass.

  8. Build your own reading drill

    Choose the clef, the range, the key signatures and how much pressure you want. The drill is built here, in your browser, and stays on this device.

  9. Build your own ear drill

    Choose which intervals you want, how they are played, which sound and which octave. The drill is built here, in your browser, and stays on this device.

  10. Build a singing drill

    Choose the intervals, the direction and the octave, and sing them back. The drill listens through your microphone and nothing is recorded.
