I suspect I started with a slight advantage since I have played saxophone for a couple of years, but from here on out, I’m as inexperienced as anybody.īelow you can see and hear me taking the first 50 question quiz.
While this is a poor performance, it is an acceptable starting place. That will improve with time and practice. The statistics page revealed that even though I got the tonic “do” and adjacent notes correct almost every time, I was much less consistent with the notes that were further away from the tonic, which is far more difficult. Since I expect that getting the song onto the piano will be the most natural part, I will hold off on practicing that.Īs a starting point, I opened the app and practiced for about an hour before taking a 50 question quiz, in which I correctly guessed 60% of the notes, but I fear this is less than halfway to mastery. It requires learning which piano keys correspond to each solfege syllable in the key of the song you are trying to learn. This process is repeated for the next notes.Īfter recognizing the notes, getting the song onto the piano is relatively simple. The player must try to guess which note is played before the program plays the tonic note. The trainer first plays a few chords to establish the key (the scale that forms the basis of a composition), then plays a random note within that key.
The app can guide the player in their journey to playing an instrument of their choice. The theory is that with enough practice, users will be able to internalize the relationships and each note’s “color,” and then apply that to a real song. Jumping between different steps can create dissonance (an “unstable” sound) and consonance (a “stable” sound).īenbassat’s method consists of understanding the relationships of solfege syllables (do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, and do) to the tonic note, or the beginning of the scale (do). The beginning of the scale is known as the tonic note. In Western music, the typical scale consists of seven tones or “steps.” These steps are given different names.
