The Two Notes app icon: two gold dots joined by an arc.

Ear training

Hear two notes.
Name the distance.

Every tool that teaches this opens on a grid reading m2 M2 m3 M3 P4 TT P5. Two Notes opens by asking whether the second note was higher or lower — and you are already playing.

Six seconds a question

A reference note, a short gap, a second note. You tap what you heard.

01

Nothing to read first

The opening questions ask "higher or lower?" in words. The interval names arrive later, and each one carries a mark you recognise, so the word is never the only handle.

02

The screen never tells you

While the notes sound, nothing on screen encodes pitch. Mute the phone and you cannot answer. That is the point, and a test compares raw pixels to keep it true.

03

The reveal does the teaching

Answer, and the two notes are drawn in their true relationship and resolve into a short phrase. Miss, and the note you chose plays back to back with the right one — the confusion is heard, not explained.

The sounds that keep catching you out get a name

Miss the same interval three times in your last thirty questions and it becomes a rival. It gets a mark, a face, and it starts turning up more often.

Answer it right three times in a row and the run turns into a duel: five questions, that interval against the one you actually confuse it with. Win and it is beaten for good. Lose and nothing is taken away — a rival is an opponent you are hunting, never an accusation.

What it looks like

A question in progress: the two notes are sounding and the screen shows nothing that encodes pitch.
A question. Nothing here tells you the answer.
The reveal after a miss, showing the interval that was played next to the one that was chosen.
A miss, heard as a contrast.
The home screen, with the ear rating and the current rivals.
Home: your rating, and the rivals you are hunting.
The end of a run, with the rating change and the progress toward a duel.
The end of a run.

One number, and it never arrives as a verdict

An Ear Rating, always led by a band name and a plain sentence about what you can currently do — "you're telling big leaps from small ones". The integer is second, and smaller.

The opening round shows no number at all. A score handed to someone straight after a test reads as a judgement, and this app is built for the player who already feels behind.
