E Aural Trainer

E Aural Trainer written and developed by an independent music professional with decades of experience preparing students for the aural test element of instrumental exams.

Here you will find nearly 100 Aural Tests for training towards music exams grades 1 to 8. The tests in this app are both "topic" based, for example "sight singing" or "recognising cadences", (so that you can work on the areas that you find difficult) and also "grade" based. Our grading system encompasses different examining boards and next to each test is the grade to which it relates. Note however, that one test might be Grade 7 ABRSM and only Grade 6 Trinity - this will be identified on the individual videos. Some tests in this app don't appear in all the examining boards. Identifying intervals, for example, is only a Trinity requirement, whereas Sight Singing is an ABRSM requirement. However - if you can hear intervals - it will help your Sight Singing, so we recommend you do ALL the tests as they are complimentary.

Topics include

*Clapping rhythms

*Clapping in time, and identifying time signatures

*Singing back phrases

*Recognising changes

*Identifying melodic intervals (up to an octave)

*Identifying musical features (dynamics, articulation, tempo, tonality, style, character and period of music)

*Identifying modulations, chords and cadences

*Sight singing (single line/accompanied/lower and upper part of multi-part phrases)
