It may be more relevant to be able to hear a tone then PLAY a third, fifth, 7th etc. You may even get good at, but this won't necessarily make you a better player. While it's important to be able to recognize the relationship between tones and hear chords, if taken at face value it can also be simply an intellectual game. I think you've hit on a very relevant point. whether FET helps improvement in terms of CET is another issue and remains to be seen. So, it seem it might "work" in its own terms. but I dipped ahead and could hear "Do" as G against a G chord etc.
Not only does the tone sound and you hear "Sol" or "Do" in your (well, my) heard. I set FET to (movable) solfege rather than 1,2,3 and after some days of the first exercises.

Now I'm a little sceptical because a lot of "training apps" seem to riff of games. then other keys one octave, then other keys full range. Initially 1-4 then 5-8 then 1-8 one octave then 1-8 full range. Basically exercise one is, it plays a I-IV-V-I in C, then a tone and you have to pick which tone. This is what I find tough, though I'm scraping by (I'm better in some of parts of the range than others, I recon)įET is something else.
Basically practising what (I understand to be) exam requirements. onwards and upwards, in all keys, full range. I've done Functional Ear Training app daily and also downloaded the "Complete Ear Training" app.ĬET is just what you'd expect practice telling M3-P8, then m3-P8, then M3-m3-P8.
