Melodic ear training

Melodic exercises follow the classic Minuet flow: the app plays a question, shows answer choices, and lets you replay the prompt if you need to hear it again. This manual mode is used for intervals, scales, and chords when you choose Hear and identify.

A chord exercise in manual mode in Minuet

The exercise page gives you the controls you need for a single question or a longer test run:

  • New Question starts another question.

  • Play Question repeats the current prompt.

  • Give Up reveals the answer.

  • Start Test begins a scored sequence of questions.

  • Stop Test ends the test run.

In melodic exercises, the answer buttons and the keyboard or staff view stay aligned, so you can see how each candidate maps to the notes being played.

Chord exercises use the same manual workflow, but the prompt is played as a chord instead of a melodic sequence. Minuet plays the chord, shows the root note on the keyboard and staff, and asks you to choose one chord quality from the available answers. The chord catalog includes triads, inversions, suspended chords, seventh chords, ninth chords, eleventh chords, and mixed chord sets such as Lots of chords.

Use Play Question to hear the chord again before answering. In test mode, Minuet scores the sequence using the configured number of exercises from the settings page.
