Description
STEP 18 of Ear Training Step by Step (also in the path bundle). Self-checking ear training for Grades 4-6: tell a question phrase (unfinished) from an answer phrase (finished, home on do). 30 cards, 20 scored. THE MUSIC IDEA Many tunes have two phrases, a period: the question stops away from home (re, sol or ti); the answer often starts the same way and comes home to do. HOW IT WORKS - 4 learn cards: question and answer (Twinkle, Twinkle, traditional); four endings; new keys; the answer on the staff. - Round 1: one phrase. Question or answer? - Round 2: hear the question, then three answers. Which comes home? - Round 3: the same in G, F, D and A, no Home note button. - Round 4: hear the whole tune; four staffs all end on home. Which shows the answer? - Reveal cards and slow speakers. Relative pitch only; does not teach perfect pitch. SELF-CHECKING, WITH HELP WHEN STUCK - Boom scores every answer. - Two tap-to-show hints per question. - Equally loud notes; every answer sound is the same length. ACCURACY Every answer is checked by our own software and by AI test solves from the cards and sounds alone, without the key. Not tested with a class. No process is perfect; if you spot an error, please tell us through the store's feedback. HOW IT WAS MADE Text written with AI assistance and fact-checked. All images and music notation are drawn in code; no AI image generators were used. All sounds are made in code. No AI voice. Needs sound. Plays in a browser; needs internet.
