Hi,
I'm new here so don't be to strict if I'm breaking any rules about self promotion etc. What I'm going to share is really made by my and I believe really could be useful for music learners.
Some time ago I took ear training classes where we didn’t start from isolated notes. Instead, we used short melodic phrases that clearly “pull” to the tonic. But we do that with piano at lessons or with some recordings at home. For a time I struggle about making automated version of this course as apllication and now I have something to share.

(Also just to be transparent — there are some ads in the app, but nothing too intrusive.)
It starts with those melodic cues, then gradually removes the context and moves toward recognizing single notes, while also increasing the tempo. Basically trying to train the ear in the same order I experienced it.
I’m genuinely curious if this makes sense to people who actually play and train their ear — or if I’m just biased by my own experience.
If anyone’s up for trying it, I’ll drop the link in the comments.
Would really appreciate honest feedback.
