Pitch identification
Sonar - pitch identification ear training game
Sonar is Coco’s note-recognition game. A single pitch plays, and your job is to identify it before the timer runs out.

FAQ
Common questions
Do I need an instrument to play this game?
No. Coco plays the sound and gives you focused answer choices, so you only need headphones and a few minutes of attention.
Can beginners use this game?
Yes. Early levels keep the answer set narrow, then add more notes, intervals, chords, or scales as your ear gets stronger.
Is Sonar the same as perfect pitch training?
No. Sonar is practical pitch identification and pitch memory. It can sharpen note recognition, but Coco does not promise perfect pitch.
