1. Open the settings menu and select the number of notes and chromatics you want. If you are brand new to this type of ear training, 1 note and 0 chromatics should be a good place to start.
2. Play the key to find the solfege syllable Do, which is the root of the key.
3. Play the notes and try to determine the solfege syllable for each.
4. When you have your answer, input it using the keypad. If your answer is correct, you will be given a new excersize. If it is wrong, you can try again or give up by submitting a blank answer (pressing enter again).
Solfege Ear Training
To understand what this type of ear training is, you first need to understand what movable do solfege is. Movable do solfege is a type of solfege where instead of having an absolute note value, each solfege note corresponds to a certain note in a key. Solfege is a way to name notes in a key and is commonly used with singing. It is meant to be an easy way to refer to specific notes in a scale. For example, the first note of a scale is Do, the second is Re, etc. Knowing solfege can be very useful for many different purposes, such as analyzing music, writing songs, singing in a choir, and ear training.
Ear training refers to any method used to improve your ability to hear and identify musical concepts. This can come in many forms, such as listening to a chord and identifying the interval between notes, transcribing a chord or melody, and more. This program uses solfege to improve your ability to identify specific notes in a chord, which can be a useful skill when analyzing/transcribing music and will also improve your ability in playing with other musicians, a skill which is incredibly important in a world where musicians rely less on sheet music and more on listening to one another.
This type of ear training asks you to listen carefully to a chord and determine what solfege notes make up that chord. Because this system uses movable do, the solfege in a key will vary depending on where Do is – because of this, a specific key is provided so that you know what note to consider “Do”. For example, if the chord you are trying to find consists of an E and a G, the answer would be “Mi, Sol” if Do was C, but would be “Sol, Te” if Do was A.
