Hear every interval, instantly
Intervals are the building blocks of melody and harmony. Free Practice covers all simple intervals - minor 2nd through major 7th, plus tritone - melodic or harmonic, with no daily cooldown. Compound intervals (9ths, 11ths, 13ths) unlock with PRO.
Free to start. No card required. PRO unlocks advanced content.

The feature,
explained clearly
The Intervals module in Earonman Practice Mode is a custom interval drill. You pick which intervals to include, choose melodic (notes in sequence) or harmonic (notes together) playback, and Earonman feeds you randomised exercises with instant feedback. No daily cooldown. Free Practice covers all simple intervals up to the octave; PRO unlocks compound intervals (9ths, 11ths, 13ths).
All simple intervals (Free)
Minor 2nd through major 7th, plus tritone. Every relationship between two notes within an octave - drillable free in Practice Mode.
Compound intervals (PRO)
9ths, 10ths, 11ths, 12ths, 13ths. Intervals larger than an octave that show up in extended jazz harmony and wide voicings - included in the PRO library.
Melodic or harmonic playback
Two notes in sequence (melodic) trains transcription. Two notes together (harmonic) trains chord-tone identification. Earonman drills both, separately or mixed.
Custom interval picker
Tick which intervals to include. Drill just the tricky ones (tritone vs maj7, m6 vs M6) until they are solid. Or include everything for mixed practice.
Replay as many times as you need
Each interval plays once on demand, with a Repeat button always available. No rush, no streak pressure - take your time on the tricky ones.
Real grand piano sound
Every interval is played on a Petrof III grand recorded at Baracca Records. You train on the same timbre you hear in real music.
Three steps.
Repeated until it sticks.
Open the Intervals module
Practice Mode > Intervals. Setup screen lets you tick which intervals to train and pick melodic, harmonic, or both.
Hear the interval
Two notes play. Replay as many times as you need. Hide the notation if you want to make it harder.
Identify, see the answer
Tap your answer. Earonman tells you immediately if it is right, names the interval, spells the two notes, and lets you replay before moving on.
Skills you walk away with
Drilling intervals builds the most fundamental layer of relative pitch. Every other ear skill is built on this one. Without reliable interval recognition, transcription is guesswork and harmonic analysis stalls.
Tell apart easily confused intervals
m3 vs M3, P4 vs tritone, m6 vs M6, m7 vs M7. The pairs that trip up self-taught musicians until they drill them deliberately.
Recognise intervals in any direction
Ascending and descending sound different to most ears. A descending major 6 feels different from an ascending major 6. Practice Mode trains both.
Identify compound intervals (PRO)
A 9th sounds different from a 2nd despite being the same pitch class. Hearing the octave displacement is critical for transcribing wide jazz voicings - included in the PRO library.
Build instant recall
After a few weeks of daily drills, you stop thinking and just hear the interval. That instant recall is what professional musicians use on stage.
Internalise tonal tendencies
A leading tone wants to resolve up. A tritone wants to resolve outward. After enough drilling, these tendencies become baked into your ears.
Lay the foundation for chord recognition
Chords are stacks of intervals. Once intervals are solid, recognising a major 7 chord is just hearing major 3rd + minor 3rd + major 3rd.
Daily reps.
Compound results.
Interval recognition decays fast without practice. Even pros lose their edge after a few weeks off. Daily 5-10 minutes keeps the recall instant.
The foundation must be rock solid
Every other ear training skill - chords, voicings, scales, function - depends on intervals. Wobbly intervals mean wobbly everything else.
Brief sessions beat long marathons
The brain consolidates new sound-name associations during sleep. 10 minutes a day for 14 days is more effective than 2 hours one Saturday.
Real musical situations are fast
When a tune flies by at 250 bpm, you do not have time to count half steps. Daily reps build the sub-second recognition real music demands.
Compound intervals open up modern harmony
Most musicians never deliberately train 9ths, 11ths, 13ths. Drilling these gives you an edge for transcribing modern jazz, R&B, and film scoring - available with PRO.
Not just jazz musicians
Interval training is universal - every musician benefits, regardless of style or instrument.
Self-taught musicians
The fastest way to close the most common blind spots - tritone, m7 vs M7 - all free. Compound interval gaps close with PRO.
Beginners starting ear training
Intervals are the entry point. Earonman starts with just two intervals at a time and builds up.
Composers and songwriters
Hearing intervals lets you write what you hear in your head without trial-and-error at the piano.
Singers and choir members
Sightsinging is essentially fast interval recognition. Daily interval drills make sightsinging instinctive.
Classical musicians
Conservatoire entrance exams and music theory courses test exactly this skill. Practice Mode is open-ended drill that scales to any level.
Jazz musicians
Transcribing solos starts with interval recognition. Fast players need sub-second recall.
Free forever.

What makes this
different
Real piano, not synth tones
Many ear training apps use sine waves or synth tones that sound nothing like real music. Earonman uses a Petrof III grand recorded at Baracca Records.
Compound intervals with PRO
Most apps only train simple intervals. With PRO, the same module unlocks compound intervals (9ths through 13ths) - the foundation for hearing wide jazz voicings and extended harmony.
Custom session filtering
Tick the exact intervals you want to drill. No forced sequence. Drill just tritone vs major 7 if that is your weak spot, or include every interval for mixed practice.
Free up to the octave
Simple intervals (minor 2nd through major 7th plus tritone) are free in Practice Mode. No card required. The foundation of relative pitch, drillable forever.
