Ear Training Practice Exercises

A simple ear-training site offering drills for intervals, chords, scales, melodies, and even “perfect pitch” note guessing should have been a quiet win for music learners. Instead, the real concert happened in the comments, where people immediately split into camps: Team Useful Practice versus Team Please Make This Less Boring. One teacher-like commenter praised the exercises as a solid foundation, then delivered the most relatable complaint of all time: these kinds of drills can feel clinical. Their fix? Sneak in catchy song hooks students actually know, then let them hunt the notes on a piano. In other words: less worksheet energy, more pop-song treasure hunt.

Then came the galaxy-brain hot take. One commenter basically argued that music note names are weird and society would be more musically fluent if the whole naming system were rebuilt on cleaner math. That kicked the discussion from “nice practice tool” into “abolish the alphabet, apparently.” Another user chimed in with a practical plea for examples before the quiz starts so beginners know what they’re even listening for, which feels like the most normal request in a thread suddenly flirting with a total notation revolution.

And because no internet launch is complete without a tiny bit of chaos, someone noted the Android app link doesn’t work, while another wandered in expecting hearing help for noisy environments and got a music school instead. The vibe? Helpful, curious, lightly chaotic — and very, very opinionated.
