Musical training is all about consistency and perseverance. No music teacher would advise his students to practice with their instrument only once a week. Daily practice, even for short periods of time, is the key to success. The same applies to ear training and aural skills.

Using interactive software for ear training and music theory practice is not only a major time-saver, but it also enables the students to enjoy an potentially unlimited amount of practice with immediate feedback on the accuracy of their skills, and adds a certain amount of entertainment to a discipline that isn't always the preferred class on the students' weekly schedule. Opting for computer-assisted ear training is ensuring more work from the students, more time for teacher-student interaction, less frustration, more fun and, ultimately, better results.

EarMaster has been developed with 29 music educators teaching at various levels, and it is currently used in a wide range of institutions from secondary schools and colleges to superior conservatories or independent music schools. For that reason, EarMaster has benefitted from numerous and varied feedback during the development phase and keeps on optimizing its application based on actual user reports and feature requests.

A complete ear training package! EarMaster includes exercises in identifying intervals, chords, chord inversions, chord progressions, scales and modes. You will also find exercises in transcribing melodies and rhythms and in sight-reading or imitation of rhythms. The broad range of exercise areas covers all your needs for training pitch, harmonies and rhythms! All together the exercises areas will help you enhance your musicality and improve your playing! screenshot: [training wizard]  more info: [exercises]

Your own personal teacher! EarMaster includes two advanced Tutors that will guide you and increase the level of complexity as you improve your ear. The Standard Tutor has 440 lessons ranging from beginners to advanced users. The Jazz tutor has 211 lessons with swing rhythms and jazz chords! You can take a lesson again and again, because it will change every time you take it!

EarMaster is the perfect tool to train your ear and become a better musician. It covers all the significant areas of ear training: intervals, scales, chords, rhythms and melodies! It's like having an ear training workshop at home, open 24/7! And unlike books or audio methods, EarMaster is giving you interactive feedback and makes sure you are on the right tracks!

Customize Ear Master
You can customize EarMaster more than any other ear training tool! There are a lot of settings for the user interface and for the way you use EarMaster. While you work with a lesson you can change clefs, time limits, input methods, tempo, sounds, etc. EarMaster also allows you to use your MIDI instrument to insert tones and rhythms, or as a remote control! There are also keyboard shortcuts to all features. A great feature is that you can make your own custom tuned string instrument for inserting and displaying the tones on the screen. Even left handed string instruments are possible!

Instant feedback

Instant Feedback
EarMaster gives instant audiovisual feedback on everything you do! The tones you enter are transcribed simultaneously on the staff and on the on-screen instruments. When you submit your answer, EarMaster will tell if your answer is wrong. Your answer and the correct answer will be shown on the staff and instruments, and you can hear both individually. This is a very effective learning process where you learn from your errors and improve your ear faster than with any other training method!

Guitar, piano, bass, violin, cello, ... !
Make ear training a musical project by relating it to an instrument you play! EarMaster is designed for musicians playing almost any instrument. You can interact with EarMaster in a multitude of ways. EarMaster supports onscreen piano, guitar, bass, violin, cello, banjo and any other customized string instrument! Using General MIDI, you can utilize all of the 128 instruments and sounds. EarMaster also comes with real-time Sound2MIDI technology that allows you to sing and clap your answer using a microphone - and to play your answer on your favorite instrument! You can also use the onscreen staff, multiple-choice, or use MIDI input from keyboards and other MIDI-devices.

E-learning is offering the benefits of remote teaching and training over the internet. It is a both a great time-saver, and ensures that the students learn in optimal conditions. With the EarMaster programs, a teacher can create sets of lessons, drills and tests, and assign them to his students for home use.

The potential amount of practice may be increased to such a level that success rates at aural skills exams would undoubtedly show better figures too!
