Train your ear. See the harmony.
Relative pitch, intervals, chords and dictation in one trainer, with every note colored by its job in the key — the same color coding Tissimo teachers use in lessons and worksheets.
Tonic cyan, dominant magenta, leading tone red — the colors follow the key, so what you learn in C carries to every key.
Four modes, one color language
Each mode has its own settings for free practice, and a place on the guided path.
Relative pitch
Hear a note against a tonic and name its scale degree on a colored keyboard — movable-do, in any key.
For: Singers, improvisers, anyone who wants to play by ear.
Intervals
Ascending, descending, harmonic or mixed. The answer shows the two notes engraved and colored by function.
For: Every instrumentalist from the first lesson on.
Chords
Triad quality, sevenths, inversions, then the full name — root and quality, close or open voicing.
For: Pianists, guitarists, songwriters, theory students.
Dictation
Write one to four voices into a real notation editor from a tonic and a count-in, then compare note by note.
For: Conservatory and exam candidates, choir singers, arrangers.
A path, not a pile of drills
24 steps alternate between the four modes and get harder as you pass them. A step passes when you hold a target accuracy over your most recent answers — a lucky streak is not enough.
