Epic Ear 2.0 learning overview
WHY 2.0

Listening on repeat was not enough.

We rebuilt the entire experience so you can understand why music sounds the way it does, then verify it for yourself.

1.x · Listen

Train with preset sounds.

Audio-first sessions for choosing intervals or chords and training through repetition.

2.0 · Understand

Connect your ears, eyes, and hands.

Learn the idea, connect sound to notation and keyboard, then answer and check your progress.

ONE MUSICAL TIMELINE

One playback. Three ways to understand it.

Audio, notation, keyboard, and explanation move together on one musical timeline. You can see exactly where each sound appears on the staff and keyboard.

  1. 01Listen first.
  2. 02See the structure on the staff.
  3. 03Find the relationship on the keyboard.
  4. 04Listen again with the explanation.

LEARN · PRACTICE · CHALLENGE

From the first explanation to answering on your own.

Every lesson follows one continuous path: Learn, Practice, and Challenge. Explanation, practice, and assessment form one connected learning experience.

FOUR CURRICULA

Intervals to progressions—each asks you to listen differently.

Epic Ear does not repeat one quiz format. Each musical subject has its own focus and way of explaining what matters.

01

Intervals

Hear distance and direction, then recognize the distinct color of two notes sounding together.

02

Chords

Listen to scale degrees, inversions, seventh chords, and how tensions reshape the harmony.

03

Progressions

Follow bass motion, tonic and dominant function, and the direction created by tension and release.

04

Scales

Use degrees and characteristic notes to find the decisive difference between close relatives.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE

Training does not have to stay on the screen.

Epic Ear works naturally on the go and keeps the same learning flow available when looking at the screen is difficult.

From the Lock Screen

Keep sessions moving with background playback and Lock Screen or Control Center controls.

No surprise speaker playback

If headphones disconnect, playback will not suddenly switch to the speaker. It resumes smoothly when they reconnect.

Three languages

Use the interface and spoken music guidance in English, Korean, or Japanese.

No separate account is required, and your learning data stays on your device.
