Ear training for jazz musicians
Hear it. Name it. Play it.
Intervals, chords, enclosures and chord progressions. A few minutes a day builds the ear you rely on at the session.
How it works
01
Hear it
An interval, a chord, an enclosure or a progression plays, in the instrument sound you choose.
02
Answer it
Tap the keys or the chord wheel. For enclosures, play or sing the line and Guide Tones listens. Notes can be shown for B♭, E♭ and F instruments.
03
Level it up
Four levels, streaks and ranks from Woodshedding to Changes Master keep the practice going.
The drills
Intervals
Make · Identify
Make an interval from a root, or identify what you hear. A song hint for each interval helps you anchor the sound.
Chords
Extension · Quality
Name the extension on a chord, or pick out its quality. Chords are played as voiced chords, not just stacked triads.
Enclosures
Play or sing
Hear a target note approached from above and below, then play or sing the pattern back. Guide Tones listens through your microphone.
Progressions
Chord wheel
Hear a progression, then rebuild it degree by degree on the chord wheel, from a plain ii-V-I to substitutions.
Hear it · Compare chords
Hear exactly what changes.
Pick any two chords and play them side by side. Guide Tones highlights what is different, so you can hear and see that Cm7 becomes C7 by changing a single note.
