Ear Teacher’s structured course follows a custom curriculum designed by experienced music educators. It includes 9 grades of material on rhythm, melody, and harmony concepts. There are more than 450 lessons, interactive exercises, and tests. Statistics are collected and displayed for course progress, relative skill ability, and test marks, allowing students to effectively track their progress.
In addition to the structured course, Ear Teacher facilitates efficient daily practice using an “Intelligent Practice” feature, which automatically selects topics and questions based on student progress and abilities, allowing students to focus on their weaknesses.
