About the application:

Yet other ear-training apk? Well, this one is different! Playing jazz, pop and improvised melody means being able to quickly recognize and replay what you hear. Although this apk began as an ear-training program for students of jazz and pop at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), it is also intended for musicians playing in another styles, and at all levels. It was developed by Swiss IT specialist and jazz trumpeter Daniel Schenker, professor at ZHdK, in collaboration with his son Elia. How it works The apk offers a host of ear-training exercises, a lot of of them quite enjoyable, all designed to enhance both active and passive hearing. Active hearing means reproducing what you have heard on an instrument or with your voice, while passive hearing refers to the ability to identify such things as the scales, triads and four-note-chords, tensions and cut chords, on which active hearing is based. One of the features that create our apk so unique is the fact that its microphone enables a sort of dialogue between the apk and the musician – whether on voice, brass and reed instruments, guitar, piano or electric bass. Unlike another apks, this one uses an integrated voicing generator to ensure that the chords played (position, voicing) correspond to the actual performance situation. In addition, the apk uses a detailed educational guidance system, which allows players to individually customize the exercises. You can receive over 190 achievements.
