Train the Ear That Writes.
A composer's ear is not a passive listener — it is a precision instrument. These tools build the inner ear and the reading eye, so when you sit down to compose, what you hear in your head is what comes out on the page.
Ear Training — interval recognition
Sight Reading — Level 4, Standard Mode
Metronome — with tap tempo
Four Practice Tools
Ear Training
Interval, chord, and progression recognition with real audio playback. The foundation of writing what you hear rather than what you think sounds right.
Sight Reading — 10 Levels
Graded exercises from simple melodies to four-part Bach chorales. Three modes: standard reading, rhythm-only, and interval recognition.
3 Reading Modes
Standard pitch reading, rhythm-only (clap the rhythm), or interval recognition (name the interval between each note). Each mode trains a different skill.
Metronome with Tap Tempo
Full-featured metronome with BPM control, visual beat indicator, and tap-to-set tempo. The tool you keep open while practicing.
MIDI Keyboard Support
Connect any USB MIDI keyboard and play directly into the score editors and ear training tools. Input notes at tempo and hear them in real time.
Progress Tracking
Your sight reading level and ear training score are tracked and displayed on the dashboard. You can see your improvement over time.
The ear you train now is the ear you compose with.
All practice tools are included with every Gradus subscription.
