Ear and Memory Training

"Ear and Memory Training" is a software that acts as a professor of music, guiding users to recognize and memorize musical notes. The program starts each exercise by previewing a series of notes, displaying them on the screen on either guitar neck or piano keyboard. It then moves onto the dictation, where it plays a note and awaits the user's response, which can be given by clicking on the guitar neck, keyboard, or note names on the interface. For every correct answer, the software grants a point, and plays the next note in the dictation.

With each series of 15 notes out of 16 correctly recognized, the program increases the difficulty level by adding an additional octave. For every series of 12 exercises that score at least 15 out of 16 points, the software moves users to the next level. In case of difficulty, remaining in the same level, and practicing increases the user's skills, eventually helping them move to the next level. This feature makes the software uniquely suitable for users of different skill levels.

Moreover, the software offers a game called "Musical Memory Game," that tests users' musical memory through a series of colored keys displayed on the screen, and a series of random notes played simultaneously, according to the user's level of musical dictation. Users must reproduce the sequence of notes by clicking on the colored keys, in the same order, without making any mistakes. The game progresses by adding an additional note to the sequence with every successful repetition. Any mistake leads to the game restarting with just one note. This exercise trains the user's aural attention skills and musical memory.

All in all, "Ear and Memory Training" is an excellent software for anyone learning music. Its interactive and gradually challenging approach makes it suitable for anyone from beginner to expert levels. Plus, the secondary game "Musical Memory Game" offers a refreshing range of exercises to supplement the primary dictation exercise.
