Serphonica — Ear Training & Music Practice
Develop your musical ear with a comprehensive suite of training exercises and practice tools — all in one beautifully designed app.
EAR TRAINING
• Interval Training — Identify ascending and descending intervals. Build the foundation of relative pitch recognition.
• Chord Recognition — Hear a chord and name it. Major, minor, diminished, augmented, seventh — train them all by ear.
• Scale Trainer — Learn scales note by note with real-time pitch detection. Play on your instrument and get instant feedback.
• Rhythm Echo — Listen to a rhythmic pattern and tap it back. Develop your timing and internal clock.
• Echo Mode — Hear a note, play it back on your instrument. Serphonica listens and tells you if you got it right. After 3 tries, a fretboard hint shows you where to find the note.
• Sight Reading — Read notes on the staff and play them on your instrument. Real-time detection tracks your accuracy.
• Melody Memory — Listen to a melody and play it back from memory. Start with short phrases and work your way up.
• Theory Quizzes — Test your knowledge of intervals, scales, keys, and chord construction.
• Call & Response — Musical phrases are played for you to echo back, training your ear and technique together.
BUILT-IN TOOLS
• Chromatic Tuner — Real-time pitch detection with frequency smoothing and adjustable noise gate. Tune with precision.
• Metronome — Adjustable BPM, time signatures from 1/4 to 12/4, subdivisions (quarter, eighth, triplet, 16th), swing, tap tempo, and multiple sounds. Visual beat ring with optional flash.
• Live Fretboard — Play your guitar and see notes appear on an interactive fretboard in real time.
• Reference Charts — Scales, chords, intervals, and guitar charts — everything you need to study music theory.
WHY SERPHONICA?
