Description
STEP 20 of Ear Training Step by Step (also in the path bundle). Self-checking ear training for Grades 6-8: play by ear. Hear a short tune, get the first note, and find the other notes on a drawn piano keyboard. 30 cards, 20 scored. THE MUSIC IDEA Many musicians learn tunes by ear: hear, find, check. With the first note given, you find each next note by its direction and distance (step, skip or leap). This is relative pitch, not perfect pitch. HOW IT WORKS - 4 learn cards, including a practice piano with a speaker on every key. - Round 1: one new note. Tap its key. - Round 2: two new notes. Tap both keys, then Submit. - Round 3: three new notes in the key of G, F or D: black keys join in. - Round 4: four keyboards number the keys 1-4. Which one shows the tune in order? The others are near-misses: only listening tells. - Reveal cards and a slow speaker. SELF-CHECKING, WITH HELP WHEN STUCK - Boom scores every answer. - Two tap-to-show hints per question. - Equally loud notes; the start note has its own speaker. 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 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.
