Train your ears, level by level
The gamified curriculum at the heart of Earonman. 200+ structured levels take you from your first interval to recognising upper structure triads in real time. XP, streaks, badges - the daily habit that turns your ears sharp.
Free to start. No card required. PRO unlocks advanced content.
A gamified ear training app, built by a professional jazz pianist
Earonman trains your ear from your first interval up to advanced jazz harmony. Real grand piano sound, structured curriculum, no ads. Web in any browser, native iOS, Android landing soon. Free to start, no card required.
The feature,
explained clearly
Exercises is the structured, gamified path through Earonman. Every level introduces one specific skill, drills it until it sticks, then unlocks the next. You can see your whole journey on a visual level map. Compared with the open Practice Mode, Exercises adds structure: XP per correct answer, streaks for daily consistency, badges for milestones, and a clear sense of progression.
200+ levels in one continuous curriculum
A single level map takes you from basic intervals through triads, 7th chords, modes, jazz voicings, extended harmony, slash chords, and functional harmony - section by section, in the order that builds reliably on what came before.
Real grand piano sound
Every exercise plays back on a Petrof III grand recorded at Baracca Records. You train on the same timbre you hear on professional recordings.
XP, streaks, and badges
Correct answers earn XP. Practising every day fills your streak. Hitting milestones (10 levels, full section complete, first PRO level) unlocks badges. The dopamine loop that keeps you coming back.
Lessons paired with each level
Before each new level you get a short chat-style lesson with Dr. Earmond Sharp that explains the theory. Skip if you already know it.
Notation on the web + MIDI keyboard
On the web, exercises display notation alongside the audio - the sound-to-symbol link, always visible. Connect a MIDI keyboard for Harmonic Quest and Guido to play your answers directly on the keys, with click-track play-along.
Daily limit on Free, unlimited on PRO
Free users get 3 exercises per 8-hour rolling window. PRO removes the cooldown entirely. Practice Mode is unlimited for everyone regardless of plan.
Three steps.
Repeated until it sticks.
A level is roughly 8-12 exercises focused on one specific skill, plus a paired lesson if you want the theory first.
Pick a level on the map
The level map shows the entire curriculum. Free levels are open immediately. PRO levels show what is inside before you commit.
Read the lesson (optional)
A short chat-style lesson with Dr. Earmond Sharp covers the theory for the level. Skip if you already know it, or read it for fresh framing.

Skills you walk away with
Earonman exercises develop relative pitch - the ability to hear musical relationships regardless of key. This is the practical ear skill professional musicians use every day, distinct from the rare absolute pitch.
Recognise intervals on the spot
From a minor second through compound thirteenths. The foundation of every other ear skill.
Hear chord qualities instantly
Major, minor, diminished, augmented triads. All five seventh chord types. Inversions, modal triads, extensions, alterations.
Identify scales and modes by colour
Major, minor, all seven church modes, melodic and harmonic minor modes, bebop and symmetric scales.
Voice jazz chords like a pianist
Shell voicings, Drop 2, Drop 3, So What, quartal stacks, Shearing block chords. The complete jazz voicing vocabulary.
Analyse harmonic function on the fly
Slash chords, polychords, upper structure triads, secondary dominants, modal interchange. The advanced harmonic devices in jazz standards, Broadway tunes, modern pop, and film scoring.
Build a daily ear training habit
Streaks, badges, and a visible level map make the habit stick. Most users see meaningful improvement within 2-4 weeks of daily 10-minute sessions.
Daily reps.
Compound results.
Ear training is a muscle. Without regular use, it shrinks. Compared with reading theory or watching tutorials, daily ear drills produce results because the brain needs repeated, spaced exposure to reliably tag a sound with a name. Even 10 minutes a day beats one 90-minute weekend session.
Daily reps build instant recall
When you transcribe, improvise, or write, you do not have time to think. You need the answer in under a second. Daily reps train that instant recall.
Streaks make the habit automatic
Most musicians say they want to do ear training but never start. A visible streak counter and 3-exercise daily target make the habit frictionless.
You hear things you used to miss
After a few weeks of daily exercises, you start noticing intervals and chord colours in songs on the radio that you would have completely missed before.
Compound effect over months
Three months of 10 minutes a day puts most musicians ahead of where they were after years of casual playing without targeted ear training.
Not just jazz musicians
Ear training is not just for jazz musicians. Every musician who wants to transcribe, improvise, compose, produce, or play by ear benefits from reliable relative pitch.
Jazz musicians
Transcribe solos, recognise chord changes in real time, identify upper structures and substitutions.
Composers and songwriters
Write what you hear in your head without fumbling at the piano. Develop intuition for which interval or chord will land.
Producers and beatmakers
Identify chord progressions in samples, hear when a layer is in the wrong key, design hooks that resolve where you want.
Classical musicians
Sightsinging, intonation, transcription. The same ear skills score reading and conservatoire entrance exams demand.
Band and choir leaders
Hear which singer is flat, transcribe a tune by ear for charts, communicate harmonic ideas without notation.
Self-taught musicians
Most self-taught players have blind spots around tritones, sevenths, and extensions. Structured exercises close those gaps fast.
