Tone Hole

The musical tone matching game

Play with your ears

Tone Hole is the new real-time ear training game for iPhone and iPad. It uniquely guides you from matching two tones (do re) all the way to quickly naming notes in the major scale spanning more than an octave.  Before you know what’s happened, you’ll be hearing music more clearly than you ever thought possible.

Research-Based

Trains your ear using the most up-to-date research out of the top music conservatories in the U.S.

Real Time

Technical Terms Be Gone!

Get the sound in you before grappling with fancy vocabulary and symbols. Just seven simple words: do, re, mi, fa, so, la, and ti.
