Earcade: ear training games

Earcade is a free arcade that trains your musical ear. You hear a sound and name it: an interval, a chord, a scale degree or a chord function. Each mode climbs from the first easy sounds to sevenths, blue notes and borrowed chords, and a daily league lets you compete at your level (Rookie, Player or Pro).

Training modes

• Intervals: major and minor thirds, fourths, fifths and octaves, then seconds, sixths, sevenths and the tritone, ascending, descending and played together.
• Chords: major and minor, diminished and augmented, suspended chords, seventh chords and jazz colours.
• Scale degrees: hear where a note sits in the key, from 1, 3 and 5 to blue notes and chromatic steps.
• Chord functions: I, IV and V, then vi, ii and iii, borrowed chords and the leading tone.

Arcade games

• Ghost Notes: a maze arcade game you win by listening.
• Tone Pilot: fly to the note you hear. Seven lanes, seven notes.
• Ear Wash: every patch of grime hums a note; spray it with the right one.
• Chef Do: the chef sings Do and one more note, and you bring the right ingredient.
