For all musicians and music students
Absolutely all musicians need ear training, so EarMaster has been developed to meet the needs of beginning musicians just as well as those of college students and professionals. The progressive lessons included in the Standard and Jazz Tutors will increase in difficulty as you become better, and the Customized Training mode will let you focus on specific elements of practice.

Sing or play your answers
Plug a microphone or an electric instrument (e.g. guitar or bass) into your soundcard to sing, clap or play your answers ! EarMaster's Sound2MIDI technology is automatically recognizing the tones you are singing and the clapping of your hands.

Jazz ear training included
Jazz and ear training go hand in hand. EarMaster 5 includes therefore a whole set of lessons dedicated to the specificities of Jazz music, including jazz chords and swing rhythms ! These lessons have been arranged by a highly routined jazz ear training teacher.

Dynamic on-screen interfaces
Answer the questions using the visual interface of your choice: staff, piano, guitar, bass, violin, cello, banjo, and most other stringed instruments. All the interfaces are linked, which means that entering a tone on the piano will also show it on the staff or on the guitar. For stringed instruments, left-handed versions are available, and you can choose between several tunings or even create your own (up to 8 strings) !

Rhythm workshop
EarMaster includes a series of interactive rhythm exercises to challenge your timing, tighten your future performances, and training you at memorizing and transcribing rhythmic patterns. You can either perform the rhythms by hitting the Space bar of your computer keyboard, by playing it on a MIDI instrument, or even by clapping your hands in front of a microphone !!

Answer questions with a MIDI instrument
You can use most of the activities available in EarMaster with a MIDI controller, such as a MIDI keyboard, a MIDI drumpad, a MIDI Guitar, and more, for even more realism and interactivity. On top of that, you can assign keys or pads to specific actions in the program (for example: "New Question", "Repeat Question", "Show Answer", etc.) !

Fixed-Do and Movable-Do Solfege available
EarMaster is one of the very few programs that will allow you to train your ear using fixed- or movable-Do solfege, as several highly renowned music schools do ! Of course, standard Anglo-Saxon tone naming (A, B, C, etc.) is available too.

Monitor your progress
With the detailed statistics window of EarMaster, you will be able to monitor your progress lesson by lesson, day after day. Not only will the program show how good you are at a particular activity, but it will also let you know what types of chords you are best and worst at recognizing, what types of intervals or scales you are mastering, etc. !
