Hey,

Is there a portable device that musicians can use for ear training? Like an electronic game that plays a note and you just guess it's pitch or something? I'm looking for ways to work more musicianeyness into my day so having something like that to use in the car or at lunch in work would be useful for me. Dunno if such a thing exists.

Are there any good bits of software that do this? I have a computer at work so I could use that in lunch or something.

-Adam

I remember there was a downloadable alternative for an entire music theory site, with ear training, interval training and similar.. I think it was called something as simple as www.musictheory.com or something...
I'm having some PC problems, so I can't find out exactly at the moment, but you can try to google "music theory" to find the page. You know you've found it when the page is white and blue, with three dropdown menus

You can always record your own audio with the solutions like Steve Vai recommends on his online lessons.

For example: you record a C major chord and then you record your voice saying "major". In that way you get to recognice the type of chords (maj, min, aug, dim) then with 7th and so on. The same with anything you want to study, scales, progressions, etc.

Recently I've found this site that's pretty cool too
