Description

Play By Ear is a call-and-response ear training application that helps you develop the ability to hear pitches and play them back on your instrument by ear. Unlike other applications which force you to press buttons to indicate the notes you've heard, Play By Ear uses pitch recognition so you can play the notes back on your instrument (piano, guitar, trumpet, etc). Using your instrument to play the notes allows you to practice ear training in a method that most closely matches how you'll actually play music.

----------------------
APPLICATION FEATURES:
----------------------
- Pitch recognition so you can use your instrument to interact with the ear trainer

----------------------
Note: Your device needs a microphone to fully enjoy Play By Ear's pitch recognition features. iPads, iPhones, and the latest iTouch all have microphones built-in, however older iTouch devices will need a headset or similar external microphone.

Ear we go

Love this app. Like the hands free option. I will be in this app at least 20 mins ea day. My only sad ... It thinks my fret/finger noises between notes are fails. Oh dear, so not only will this app improve my ear, it will force me to play cleaner !!! :-) hahaha

What a great app

This is a quite fantastic little app that does exactly what it says it will, and all for free. Auto-calibrates itself. Nice clean design, and a joy to use. I'm a huge fan of Rick's work, and I so appreciate his wonderful generosity in sharing his ear training ideas and applications with the wider community of musicians. This gets all thumbs up from me.

Exactly what I was looking for!

What a great way to train your ear! Just started practising on my piano and amazed how the app recognising the notes I press on the piano. I'll include training with this app in my daily piano playing routine.
