It's our app: It's called "Use Your Ear" www.useyourear.com/use-your-ear-app Available both for apple and android

I understand your concern but that's absolutely not true. I made an entire video on clarifying this big misconception kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZirepWvjrGYlckfeature=shared In this comment section below you can also read comments from some of our students to get the idea that "scale degree colours" are the key to effective ear training. There is absolutely no doubt about this, if you haven't understood this yet, you are definitely missing something big and on the way to getting stuck and frustrated in ear training.

Allow me to reply with another question: Are you already able to recognize simple chords by ear alone, without using any instruments?

@UseYourEar I'm not 100 percent good at doing it, cause at time chord transitions are hard are little tricky in real songs,but I will say 90 percent of the time I can recognize simple chords

Not that much actually. for most people it's actually counterproductive, especially beginners and intermediates. I made a specific video about this kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5PVnpWPlq6cmrssi=AW9VAD6crNZ0qeJC

Yes, indeed I haven't said that I was about to sing a C major scale. I just sang a random scale. I used movable do solfege syllables here, this is not fixed do. So DO is not C, in this case. DO just means the 1st degree of the scale. I could have sang numbers instead, but movable do is easier.

@@UseYourEar Alright. Just that if I were to do it, I'd find it a little weird if I was using movable do for a diff scale

​@@nevergonnagiveyouup9866 Movable do is meant to do that. 😅 Maybe you are confusing it with fixed Do. For example here in Italy people name C as DO, D as RE, and so on. Same in most latin countries. That might be what's throwing you off here. however in English speaking countries Solfege syllables (Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti), are usually used as movable Do, so they are not tied to an actual note like C, D, E, etc. They are just used to refer to each Scale Degree so Do=1st Degree, Re= 2nd Degree, and so on hope that's clear now

@@UseYourEar ohhhh yeah I'm latin american so myabe that's it

That's might be a good advice for some. However for most people listening to songs don't actually enables them to develop ear training skills and focused practice is necessary. That was the case for me, and the same for hundreds of students I worked with.

@@UseYourEarI read the book Music theory 101 in high school and finally learned the key signatures, intervals, chords, etc. Less than a year later, I could read the tenor line (or any part) in choir and sing the right pitches and know that I wasn’t guessing. It was amazing! I wanted to see if there was anyone else at school or church that had this skill, but I couldn’t find anyone who did. I was on a handbell team among which there were many singers who could read music and could come up with harmonies by ear, but none of them (except the guy with perfect pitch) could sing off of sheet music with great accuracy. I reasoned that the only thing most of them needed was some music theory, since it had basically allowed me to combine my prior ability to sing by ear with my ability to read music (handbell music and trombone music). I eventually sang in some college/high school groups at church and paid attention to how quickly (or slowly) certain individuals learned their parts. I was surprised to find a handful of singers that had an excellent ear, good sight reading abilities (often piano), and also the music theory knowledge that I deemed necessary to combine the other abilities and yet they were no better at singing the right pitches than those other intermediate singers with elementary music theory. I tried explaining to one theory nerd that he should think of how each note relates to the tonal center, but instead he just kept thinking of what each note’s relationship to the previous note was in order to get to the note (I now suspect that he didn’t adopt my strategy because he couldn’t. I mean, maybe he couldn’t identify the tonal center and retain it when singing. But knowing his abilities, that seems unlikely.) So why is it that when I learned some extra theory I quickly learned to sight sing so well? Maybe it was just because I wanted to use what I was learning, so I practiced a lot. One of the things I did in high school (either before or after reading the theory book, idk) was to “play” songs on my harmonica (one note at a time). What I learned was how melodies map onto major scales since my harmonica could only play C major. These are the four things that are necessary to learn this skill. Singing by ear, sight reading music, learning particular parts of theory, and then practice implementing certain aspects practically (this is too vague, I know).

Play it on the piano, the last note it's a D

I encourage you to check out the full video here, you might be missing some important chunks kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZirepWvjrGYlcksi=HEx5My0MlLINahto Anyway, Dorian is always relative to a Major scale (Ionian), same for all other modes. It's just the same scale starting from a different note. It's the same harmonic, structure, of course if you play the scale in sequence starting from a different degree it will sound different but the sensation of each note remains the same. Moreover, music is not about playing scales, notes are not in sequence it's the harmonic structure that matters. The relationship between notes in the key, and that is identical between Dorian and its relative Ionian, or any other relative modes. I’m honestly baffled by how many musicians end up overthinking this stuff and losing sight of what truly matters.

@UseYourEar OK thanks

That's a common issue. Our app is the best tool to train that skill cause you can actually recognize real vocal melodies with it. it's the only app that allows you to do so. www.useyourear.com/use-your-ear-app

@@UseYourEar Ok let's say i bought your app's subscription, then what should i do, i can recognize the vocal melodies when i repeat them by singing but i can't recognize them directly by hearing them... So tell me what to do in your app to help with this thing that i can recognize vocal melodies right after listening to it and I'll surely buy your subscription because it is indeed good and please add more chromatically challenging melodic and chords songs.
