simple key-guessing-software ?

[BuddhaMaster]

Simple software that plays one note (from the 12 in the scale), the user must input which one it was shows right or not and which one it was.

Best if one big screen with just the sound and one key letter.

Is there something available, or can anyone program this in like 5 seconds ?

I need this to learn guessing key's right. Probably the best method.

BuddhaMaster,
Here's a free web app that you may find useful.?

If you are just starting out I think a slightly better approach may be to first master intervals to develope your ears.
The great thing about interval training is once you got it sussed you can pretty much wear a blindfold ...hit a random key on a keyboard followed by any other and instantly know the distance and relationship between them.

Forgive me if you are already an expert looking to attain perfect pitch which of course is an entirely different matter even so someone looking at this thread may find the links useful.

Here's the index of the site which also provides some trainers including
note,key,interval and triad trainers amongst others including some very useful info.

Why not just play random notes on a piano with your eyes shut? (No cheating and feeling for the keys around that one). Open your eyes and see if you guessed right.

Look, what I try to learn is hearing everyday sounds and knowing witch pitch they are in ! Or humming a melody in my head and knowing "ah, that's the key i used there etc".


My problem is that everytime i get a melody in my head, I have to track upwards from C to D etc and trying this a few times until I get the key.


to Aquar: Thanks for the links.
Looks interesting but distracting, I'd like to focus on the pitch entirely. No distracting bars or anything behind it. I want only the SOUND and its PITCH.

to robojam: That idea isn't so bad. Actually good. But again: My brain will automatically trying make things complicated, like focusing on which finger I used to press a key or similar.

The only way to get as fast as possible in detecting any sounds pitch, is by focusing ENTIRELY on it. No techniques behind it.
Anyone get it ? Believe me, it works that way.

Try imaging you use such a pitch-trainer everyday and play for 1 hour. You get to hear a clear and loud simple sinus wave for every key = *BZZZZZZ*. You will automatically learn guessing pitches, because that sound is so easily recognized !

Now you can fully concentrate on sounds, the brain does the rest.


(Maybe the reason desiring such a training way, is because I failed at guessing for so many times, I'm simply struck by fear of failing ! I need a backbone of trust)
