• Scoreboard in Perfect Pitch Trainer receives an update

    We updated the scoreboard which displays your score when you practice with our Perfect Pitch Trainer with the activity “Test”.

    First, me made it bigger.

    Next, now the highest score during the current session is stored in the memory. It can be displayed if you go to your account, click on “Customize my experience” and then select “Show the highest score during the current session”.

    Now, for example, if you recognize 30 notes in a row correctly but then make a mistake, there will be a window that says β€œToday’s highest score: 30”. Note that if you change the settings in the perfect pitch trainer this value is reset to 0, since you will be doing another ear training exercise.

    And another update. In the past each time you reached 20 correct answers in a row, there was a congratulations window. Now you can either turn it off or adjust the number of correct answers in a row that will trigger it: 10, 20, or 30. Again, to adjust this setting, go to “My Account”, “Customize my experience”.

  • Perfect Pitch Trainer becomes keyboard-friendlier

    We have a good news for people who don’t like using their mouse and prefer using keyboard instead.

    We added some keyboard shortcuts that you can use when you practice with our Perfect Pitch Trainer.

    Now you can press:

    • the right arrow key for “Play” button
    • the spacebar key for “Repeat” button
    • the Esc key for “Show notes” button (which is only available in the “Practice” mode)

    We hope you will like this new small addition that we hope will help you with your ear training practice.

  • 4-note exercises in our perfect pitch trainer

    In addition to 2- and 3-note exercises we added 4-note exercises in our Perfect Pitch Trainer.

    A quick reminder – with all multiple note exercises you have an option to play the notes:

    • harmonically (simultaneously) or
    • melodically (one after another)

    If you choose to play the notes melodically, the you can also select the sequence in which the notes will be played:

    • from the bottom to the top
    • from the top to the bottom
    • randomly

    All these settings are available in the “Advanced options”.

    By the way, you can use our website also as relative pitch trainer – the multiple note exercises allow you to select different musical intervals that you want to practice for your ear training.

    Enjoy!

  • PerfectPitch.training receives a major design update

  • Perfect Pitch Trainer is not available in Russia

    In light of the Russian military invasion in Ukraine, until further notice, we made the decision to block the access to our Perfect Pitch Trainer in Russia and Belarus effective March 10th, 2022.

  • PerfectPitch.training moves to a new hosting provider

    I had some issues with the hosting provider Godaddy during the last 2 weeks which prevented the automatic messages to be sent by our website.

    Finally I moved the website to Canadian Web Hosting – the company I use to host my other websites. And just like magic all the issues were gone.

    The registration for new users is open again.

    If you tried to sign up during the last 2 weeks and didn’t receive an activation code, please request it here.

  • Happy Holidays!

    The staff of PerfectPitch.training wishes you all the best during these holidays!

    We know that ear training requires a lot of time. Hopefully you will find this extra time during this winter season.

    And please support us by sharing our website with other musicians! Let’s build a community of people who use the best tool to develop perfect pitch!

    All the best to you and your loved ones!

  • Assign colors to musical notes

    We are excited to announce a new feature on our website.

    Now you can assign custom colors to any of 12 notes of a chromatic scale. And you can choose whatever color you want!

    We used the color picker plugin Spectrum which supports millions of colors.

    To use this new feature click on “Virtual keyboard settings” and go to the section “Assign colors to notes”. After you are done choosing a color for each note, the background color of the website will change when the note is played.

    You can choose when this happens: always, always except the test or never.

  • Practice custom intervals to improve your relative pitch

    Recently we added a new option for 2-note exercises. Now you can specify separately which intervals you want to practice.

    You can select any of the following musical intervals:

    • minor second
    • major second
    • minor third
    • major third
    • perfect fourth
    • augmented fourth
    • perfect fifth
    • minor sixth
    • major sixth
    • minor seventh
    • major seventh

    Now you can use our perfect pitch trainer also as relative pitch trainer!

  • Practice perfect pitch with music staff

    In addition to piano keyboard and guitar fretboard we added another type of virtual keyboard – music staff.

    Now if you play a string instrument, such as violin or cello, or a wind instrument, such as flute, clarinet, saxophone or bassoon, this new option can come in real handy. Your brain can connect how the notes look on the staff with their sound.

    This music staff adapts to your pitch practice range. If you choose lower notes, they will be displayed on a bass clef staff. If you choose higher notes, they will be shown on a treble clef staff. If the practice range is wide, both clefs will be used.
