Practice identifying musical intervals by ear with audio playback and scoring.
Plays a pair of notes and asks you to name the musical distance between them - major third, perfect fifth, and so on - then scores the answer and serves the next pair. You can focus a session on a subset of intervals, and the notes can be played one after another or together, upward or downward. The thing most first-timers get wrong is that an interval name carries two facts at once: the size (how far apart) and the quality (minor, major, or perfect). The ear has to catch both, and a missed answer usually collapsed them into one.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
The tool plays two notes, C4 and then G4. Answer submitted: Perfect fifth.
Expected output
Marked correct; the score increases by one. The played pair spans seven semitones, which is named the perfect fifth.
The tool generated the pair, so the answer key is fixed: C4 to G4 is seven semitones, and that distance is the perfect fifth. The submitted name matches the played notes, so the round is scored correct.
The tool picks a starting pitch and an interval from the set you have enabled, then plays the two notes: ascending or descending, one after another or together, per your settings. Because the pair is a fixed number of semitones apart, the same interval lands in different registers from round to round - deliberate, so you learn the distance itself rather than one familiar pair of notes.
The correct answer for each round is fixed by the notes that were played, and your answer is checked against it. Correct answers add to the score; a miss is recorded, so the score tracks how reliably you identify the enabled intervals. Because the interval set is a setting, a high score against two easy intervals means less than the same score against the full octave.
No. Interval training builds relative pitch: the ability to hear that a second note sits a specific distance above or below the first. Naming an isolated note with no reference is a different skill - absolute pitch - and interval drill does not reliably produce it; most working musicians never acquire it.
The tritone, six semitones wide, can be spelled as an augmented fourth (C to F sharp) or a diminished fifth (C to G flat); the music around it decides which is correct. The drill's answer key must choose one spelling, so your answer can be marked wrong even when you heard it exactly right. Try the other name before doubting your ear.
