Turn your speakers up! This flash program will help you learn different scales. The major is the easiest and most recognizable. Make sure you read my post showing the different scales shown below in the program. You can practice them first so you become a bit familiar with them and their sound, then test yourself here to see your progress! Be sure to check out the most popular trainer for your ears, intervals! I believe that is the most important and relevant to ear training!  The main two you will play with popular songs is major or minor.  Others relate to jazz, classical, & more.  I soon will post up charts showing a series of highlighted keys for the different types of scales.

I think I need to work on this one myself. To learn about these different chords, I will have a video post showing examples of all of these below. You can then practice playing them yourself to get a feel for it; then try this game below!

Plus, be sure to read my post on reading and understand sheet music. Hopefully, in the game below you can get fast enough so that you say the note before you can even click the letter! Time yourself! Remember you can also change the settings to include the bass cleff (notes for LH) and treble cleff (notes for RH). You need to know both! Read the rest of this entry »
