Chet - Ear Training Games for iPhone

Chet — Ear-training tool for musicians

Chet is a mobile app designed to help musicians sharpen their listening abilities. Through interactive exercises and short, focused tasks, it encourages active practice of recognizing and reproducing musical material.

Core exercises and practice types

• Musical sequences and short progressions to identify patterns and movement
• Complete melodies that you must echo or name by ear
• Harmony recognition, including triads and extended chords
• Scale identification and scale-based drills
• Interval training to distinguish distance between two notes

How the challenges are structured

Each exercise is presented as a timed challenge: you have a fixed window to listen, interpret, and perform the required answer. Games are organized into distinct modes, and every mode offers its own collection of puzzle-like tasks to develop specific listening skills.

Difficulty and progression

The app includes multiple difficulty tiers so you can pick the one that matches your current level. Beginners can start with simple recognition tasks, while advanced users face more complex sequences and faster time limits. Progression is gradual, letting you build accuracy and speed without feeling overwhelmed.

Fun features and repertoire-based tests

One mode turns famous classical and popular excerpts into quiz material, letting you test your knowledge of well-known works while training your ear. These repertoire-based rounds add variety and context to standard drills.
