Free Ear Training Software

We've already discussed a few tips to find the key of a song which invlolved mainly trial and error.

But as with anything, practise makes perfect and with this piece of kit from Solfege, you can train your ears to recognise chords and timing intervals, plus more by the looks of it:

Features:

• Recognise melodic and harmonic intervals
• Compare interval sizes
• Sing the intervals the computer asks for
• Identify chords
• Sing chords
• Scales
• Dictation
• Remembering rhythmic patterns

"Solfege is free music education software. Use it to train your rhythm, interval, scale and chord skills."

I'll be honest and declare I've not had chance to try it out yet but it does look as though it could be quite handy if you want to be more productive with your music-making.
