Description
STEP 7 of Ear Training Step by Step (also in the path bundle), after Step 6. Self-checking ear training for Grades 4-6. Each question plays home note C, then a mystery note from the 12 keys C to B. Tap its key on the piano. 29 cards, 20 scored. BLACK KEYS, TWO NAMES Black keys show both names (F sharp = G flat). Star keys F sharp and B flat are taught first and asked most. HOW IT WORKS - 3 learn cards: half steps; the star keys; all 12 keys with speakers. - Round 1: keys F to B, with a ladder speaker. - Round 2: keys C to F, with a ladder speaker. - Round 3: all 12 keys, with the whole ladder. - Round 4: all 12 keys; only the C major scale to compare. - Reveal card after each round. Replay or play slowly any time. Relative pitch; this deck does not teach perfect pitch. SELF-CHECKING, WITH HELP WHEN STUCK - Boom scores every answer; retry wrong ones at once. - Two tap-to-show hints per question. - Equally loud notes, C4 to B4. ACCURACY Every answer is checked by our own verification software and by AI test solves from the cards and sounds alone, without the answer key. It has not been 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.
