Pitch ID

Pitch ID trains pitch and interval identifcation by ear with immediate feedback and scoring. Pitch ID generates unlimited questions in every major and harmonic minor key in 15 levels of graduated difficulty.

Begin with pitches or intervals selected from 'do' 'mi' 'sol', scale steps 1, 3, and 5 from the selected scale. Or begin with more scale steps. Correctly identify the note or interval by clicking the screen keyboard and the program replays, shows, sounds the correct note and then sounds the next note. If you do not correctly identify the pitch or interval, the program indicates an error, repeats the note and pauses for your answer. AutoAdvance advises when to advance to questions containing more scale steps. AutoModulate advises when to change keys.

If AutoAdvance is on, and you answer more than 40 tones with 90% or better accuracy (you can set AutoAdvance to other numbers), the program will suggest when to advance to questions with more scale steps or intervals. Begin each day's practice session at a lower level and review. The auto advance system will suggest when you are ready to move up.

If AutoModulate is on, and you answer more than 40 tones with 90% or better accuracy (you can set AutoModulate to other numbers), the program will suggest when to change to a new key. If you click 'Yes', the program will randomly select a new major or minor key to practice at the same level of scale step or interval difficulty. Begin each day's practice session with an easier key and review. The auto modulate system will suggest when you are ready to change keys.

The extensive Help file provides suggestions about how to listen for scale-steps and intervals, how to practice, related music theory, and the notation of all scales.
