Ear training is extremely important for understanding and creating music. Unfortunately, it's also typically absent from early stages of mainstream music education. I created a couple of ear training tools to help improve my skills. Hopefully, these tools and my experiences will strengthen your aural skills as well.

Great site! Make this available to sax players. (like me)
Hi Fred.
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. The ear training tool can be used for any instrument or voice.
You can set the Root Key by selecting from the menu at the top right. That selection transposes the notes displayed so they correspond to your instrument. As you'll see, I've got both Eb (Alto sax) and Bb (Tenor sax) keys in there. I use the Bb option all the time, so I know at least that one works ;-)
Thanks for stopping by!
