Online Ear Training Sites

Learn to Hear is an easy to navigate and use site that will enable you to hone your listening skills.


There are four sections (Intervals, Scales, Triads and Tetrads) each of which presents ear training games of varying difficulty. In the Intervals section, you'll see one they've called "Primo". This is just a regional variant of "Unison".

The Triads section contains ear training games to test your abilities to distinguish between Major and Minor.

In the Scales section you'll see this page:


Check the "Practice Isolated" box for "Ionian/Major". The exercises then ask you simply to be able to distinguish between Major scales and scales that aren't Major.

There are plenty of other more advanced ear training games at this site for you to play. They're the sorts of things you won't be examined on for the MUSI course but I encourage you to explore them once you're confident with the basics.
