A truly ear training educational
game that's easy to customize

No previous knowledge of music is required to play ear training game Play It By Ear. You can make the game as easy or as hard as you wish: it can be customized to meet everyone's needs. You can let our Learning menu help you progress step by step (it is the same Learning menu as in Happy Note! Treble and Bass Clef), but you can also set ear training your own pace by selecting yourself the notes you want to play with.

You can choose between the syllabic (Do Re Mi...) and alphabetical (A B C... - or A H C for German speakers) notation systems. With a simple click, you can also decide how many lives and bonus points you'll start the game with and how many music notes you'll have to hear and recognize to win.

While playing, if you don't recognize a note the first time, no problem: press the Space bar to hear it again! You can also ask Play It By Ear to help you by playing an A. Finally, if you still don't know, Play It By Ear will give you the answer. Again, all you have to do is ask!

 

A real ear training computer game,
with lives, a Cartoons option, and a Hi-Score list

You can of course win extra lives while playing (we'll tell you how!). But that's not all. If you turn the Cartoons option on, each time you correctly identify a note, the moving picture of a cartoon animal pops up on your screen. If you manage to click on it before it floats away, you win extra points (each note has its own cartoon animal: so a new image is your reward for each new note you learn!) This is a great way for children's ear training !

At the end of each game, Happy Note! Play It By Ear displays the names of the ten best players: that's the Hi-Score list. The number of points you win for each good guess depends on how many notes to play with you've selected at the beginning. So the further you progress in your ear training game, the higher your score can be, and the better your chances to make the Hi-Score list !

 

Happy Note! ear training software Play It By Ear and HAPPY NOTE! TREBLE CLEF AND BASS CLEF share the same interface and the same Learning menu.
