Description

This application allows to practicetherecognition of scale degrees used in a melodic phrase. This isanapproach that is most suited for tonal music. In this typeofmusic, each note of the scale has a color and a veryspecificfunction and is defined in relation to a tonal center,which is thefirst degree of the scale (the tonic). However, therecognition ofan isolated scale degree is not very useful. This iswhy theapplication provides typical musical phrases of tonallanguage. Itthus leads to recognize the degrees in succession, asis the casein a real melody. Each phrase begins with one of thenotes of thetonic chord (scale degrees 1, 3 or 5), but does notnecessarily endon one of these notes.
The harmonic accompaniment is played simultaneously with themelody,because it facilitates the recognition of the role ofdifferentnotes. This holistic approach is unusual, butinteresting.

Here are the available options:
- You can change the tempo and the instruments used for themelodyand accompaniment.
- One can also choose to work only minor or major keys, orbothtypes of tone.
Five levels are available. Each level introduces one or morenewmelodic intervals.

If you answer to five phrases at least and your score isgreaterthan 75%, the next level is unlocked.
