Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to get a better ear?

Short sessions every day give more than long ones now and then. Start with big intervals, like octave and fifth, and add more once they stick.

Do I need a keyboard?

Not for the pitch, interval and chord modes, where answers are chosen with buttons. The Play back mode needs you to play, on the keyboard, the computer keys or on screen.
