Earworm: Ear Training w/ Riffs 1.4.2

If you can sing a melody, why can't you play it on your instrument? Drawing from millions of years of evolution and thousands of hours listening to music, humans excel at imprinting melodies into their brains and expertly reproducing them.

To bridge the gap between hearing a melody in your mind and executing it on your instrument, relying solely on memorizing sheet music or following tabs is deemed rudimentary, akin to painting by numbers. To truly break down barriers between yourself and the music, the ultimate goal is for notations and numbers to fade away, enabling your instrument to converse with you as effortlessly as humming along to a radio tune.

This application employs an interval-based methodology, concentrating on a note's function and emotional resonance, to transcribe riffs and licks that have likely resonated with you countless times. The app guides you in learning these musical fragments purely through your instrument and your auditory senses.

By unraveling the notes' palette that the melody is composed of, you will be able to seamlessly jam alongside the app, trading musical phrases back and forth. Riffs are categorized into levels that logically progress, gently pushing your boundaries and enriching your musical lexicon.

For guitar enthusiasts, this app also aims to cultivate an innate understanding of where intervals lie on the neck, regardless of position. Once you've mastered this intervallic knowledge, playing the same riff across various positions using different shapes will become second nature.

Whether you choose to delve deeper into musical education philosophy or embark on learning captivating melodies by ear, this app offers a solid foundation for honing your musical skills.
