It teaches you how to both recognize and sing notes. You will
learn to follow melodies and chord progressions by ear, instantly,
without reading musical notation, no matter how inexperienced or
experienced your musical abilities are.
Starting
with simple lessons, Better Ear gradually and automatically adds more difficult levels only after
you have mastered easy levels.
If you can't do these --
- instinctively identify the notes in your
favorite songs' melodies
- hear that a song's chord progression is
4-5-1 or 2-5-6
- distinguish a major chord from a minor
chord or a perfect 4th from a perfect 5th
- match a tone with your voice or sing an
interval or melody
- know the degrees of the major and minor
scales
- or generally, play by ear any song you
hear, without sheet music
-- then you need a Better Ear!

The exercises begin simple enough for someone with no
musical experience. If you already have some musical abilities,
you will quickly pass the early levels and find yourself in the advanced
lessons. You don't need to guess what to practice -- Better Ear
knows for you.
