Note Identification

Listen to a note and identify it by name

Build pitch memory

Ear training for piano note identification

Note identification by ear — hearing a piano tone and naming its pitch — is one of the core skills in ear training. Where sight reading trains your eyes, pitch recognition trains your ears. The two reinforce each other as you connect written music with sound. Practice is free in your browser and requires no signup.

A gradual path across the piano

Ten levels move from seven white keys in one octave through sharps, flats, wider pitch ranges, and finally all 88 keys from A0 to C8. Each level builds on the last, while notes you miss receive extra practice weight.

Practice at your pace—or against the clock

  • Normal gives you self-paced sessions for learning a new note set.
  • Speed Round turns recall into a timed challenge once the level feels familiar.

Use the input that fits your setup

Answer with multiple-choice buttons, the on-screen piano, microphone pitch detection, or a connected MIDI keyboard. After a mistake, replay the choices to compare pitches directly.

Connect your ears, eyes, and hands

Pitch recognition helps you catch wrong notes, play by ear, and imagine how written music should sound. Pair it with note reading practice to build visual and aural fluency together.
