A good ear is the key to all musicianship. One of the most basic skills for any musician is the ability to correctly identify intervals, something that is practiced in class or with a private tutor. EarMan is a program that helps you practice ear training on the go. This is an affordable, no-nonsense application that can help you improve your skills with a structured curriculum and fully customizable practice sessions. Completing a training session in EarMan takes about 1-2 minutes, only a fraction of a typical tutored lesson. All sessions are graded immediately and results are made available in the results section of the application.

A major key concept in EarMan is that of the interval set. Taking sevenths as an example, a session will first test you on major and minor sevenths. Eventually however unisons and octaves will be introduced as well and finally complementary intervals. But beginners need not worry about the terminology of ear training. Before any session, the answer buttons (and mostly there are only two at first) can be used to play back any interval so one can easily memorize it. All thats left then is matching a sound to a button. Naming the intervals eventually becomes second nature.

There are two basic training modes in EarMan, the Quick Session and the Curriculum.
Quick Sessions offer a way for spot learning. Interval set, range and playback direction are configured on the fly. These sessions are available at any time and can used to practice just in between or to prepare for the next Curriculum session.
EarMans Curriculum on the other hand is a structured lesson plan of 105 sessions that begins with one interval set in a narrow range. Once a Curriculum session is completed with a grade of 80% or higher the next interval set is introduced, eventually the range is widened and the playback mode advanced.

Much thought went into the design of this application. There are high resolution playback samples, a "calm interface" designed to keep you focussed on the sound, interval songs to help memorize the base intervals, but above all EarMan is meant to be a constant companion. Like many things ear training needs to be done on a regular basis to truly yield results and that makes EarMan an ideal application for the iPhone.

Très bien... Mais bugguée

Très bonne appli pour améliorer son oreille. Très bon accompagnement de l utilisateur... Mais attendre la prochaine vers car celle ci est bugguée. (resultats inaccessible et cursus alleatoire).

Bon appli !

Bon application pour développer son oreille nimporte où. Gagnerait à être plus complète en proposant la reconnaissance des gammes en plus des intervalles.

Superschlecht!!!

Ich habe das Programm für einen absoluten Wucherpreis gekauft, um mich auf eine Prüfung vorzubereiten und es läuft nicht!!! Bloß nicht kaufen, es ist sehr schlecht und verlorenes Geld!!!

Schade.....

Ich möchte mich für die Aufnahmeprüfung ab einer Musikhochschule vorbereiten und da ich öfters unterwegs bin erschien mir dieses app als hilfreich um unterwegs mal ein bisschen das Gehör zu trainieren..... Für separate Intervalle, zb nur Sekunden ist das app super! Leider hängt es sich immer auf wenn man alle Intervalle gleichzeitig üben will .... dass was dann ja letztendlich das ist was man können will.... Sehr schade :-( Update? Für den Preis kann man nur auf ein update hoffen ..... Kommt bei weitem nicht an EarMaster Pro 5.0 für Computer dran

Vorsicht!

Das Programm hat Fehler, unteranderem gibt es an, das der Intervall a-c eine große Terz sei... Das ist absoluter Schwachsinn! Ist natürlich eine kleine Terz... Finger weg! Geldverschwendung... Lg calle

So close...

This would be a quality product if not for one glaring oversight; it shows the note names that are played with no way to turn them off! This means that for anyone familiar with music theory, you can get the answer without having to listen! As someone good enough to know some intervals at sight, this is a huge problem. There also are not as many features as you might like. Would a chord progression section and scale degree program been too difficult to add? Purchase only if you are prepared to block the notation with your thumb, and as a on-the-go supplement to a more complete ear training program.

使えるアプリ…

同種のソルフェージュアプリを何個か試したけど、これが1番良かったです。
