FAQ
Common questions
What should I learn first in ear training?
Start with relative pitch fundamentals: notes, interval direction, basic chord qualities, and the habit of checking what you heard against feedback.
Can adults improve their ear?
Yes. Adults can improve relative pitch and practical listening skill with consistent, focused practice.
Do I need music theory first?
You do not need advanced theory. A small amount of context before each listening task makes practice more useful.
