Beat Syncopation & Pitch Discrimination
Two training paths. One musical adventure.
Play along with the drum, then copy a little rhythm. Grown-ups can join in. Follow the timing path into syncopation, or explore pitch differences before singing and melody.
Beat Syncopation Pulse → rhythm → between the beats
Pitch Discrimination Listen → compare → sing → explore harmony
Play along with the drum, then try copying a short pattern.
01 / A little back-and-forth
Copy the Beat
First, watch and listen to two drum beats. Then choose “I’m ready.” After 3–2–1, tap the big drum with each of the next four beats.
Hear when the next beat will arrive and move with it. A steady pulse is the starting point for playing between beats.
For grown-ups: building this skill
Join the drum, copy longer patterns, then leave a deliberate gap.
Joining already includes the drum. In echo rounds, coaching adds an audible tap guide after your first tap. Next, try the same pattern without that extra guide.
Take one short turn together. Help is part of practice; a later check shows what your child can do before extra coaching.

Beat Syncopation · Steady pulse & rhythm recall
What this round tells you
Close taps land within a quarter of a second. Joining is measured against the drum; echo timing starts on your first tap. Screen taps are measured.
Your progress
Compare the same mode: more close taps, fewer missed or extra taps, and fewer replays over several visits. Free tapping and creating are unscored.

Your next helpful step
For grown-ups: what this practices
Keeping a beat and remembering rhythms. Begin by joining the drum, then copy longer rhythms, hold a gap, and create a pattern for the app to echo.
Compare two tones by listening. Hearing a pitch change is a foundation for exploring singing, melody and harmony.
For grown-ups: building this skill
First hear clear changes, then recognize progressively smaller differences.
Coaching plays each pair twice before you choose. When that feels manageable, try one hearing per pair.

Here’s how to play.
Hear two tones. Choose same or different, or decide whether the second tone is higher or lower.

Pitch Discrimination · Hearing pitch differences
What this round tells you
We count your first choice and whether you replayed. A cent is a tiny pitch step: 100 cents is one piano-key step; 50 is half that distance.
Your progress
Look for consistent correct choices at the same pitch gap across visits, then try a smaller gap. One short round is your starting picture.

Your next helpful step
For grown-ups: what this practices
Comparing pitches by listening. Start with clear contrasts, then explore smaller pitch gaps. Hear the Difference keeps singing separate so each choice reflects a listening judgment.
Keep a steady pulse in mind while placing your own taps between beats and into syncopated patterns.
For grown-ups: building this skill
Start on the pulse, move between it, then try a patterned rhythm and a fading guide.
Coaching adds bright target sounds during your turn. Then try again with just the normal pulse and visual guide.

Beat Syncopation · Between-beat timing
What this round tells you
On-target taps land within 120 milliseconds of the intended position. Results keep the tempo, pulse guide and extra taps visible.
Your progress
At the same tempo and guide setting, aim for more on-target taps and fewer extras. Later, try less guidance or a new pattern.

Your next helpful step
For grown-ups: what this practices
Keeping time while playing between beats. Move from pulse matching to offbeat subdivisions, syncopated patterns, a faster tempo, and a guide that fades while you keep going.
Take turns humming a comfortable sound together. Each attempt is a chance to hear and adjust.

Pitch Discrimination · Listening & vocal matching
What this round tells you
Pitch distance in cents tells you how far your voice was from the target; lower is closer. Clear voiced attempts and unclear input are counted separately.
Your progress
Compare the same notes, range and matching setting: smaller pitch distance and more steady matches. Keep your device and microphone setup similar.

Your next helpful step
For grown-ups: what this practices
Matching and holding a sung pitch. Practice can become more challenging through additional notes, finer matching, two-note echoes, and singing scale degrees over a home chord.
Follow mode measures guided choices. Remember mode measures selected notes without visible answers. Creating a path is unscored.
Your progress
Compare recall at the same length and delay. More notes remembered with less help prepares you for a longer path or a new key.

Your next helpful step
For grown-ups: what this practices
Following, remembering, and creating melodies. Move from two notes to longer paths, recall a tune after a pause, and discover the same numbered relationships in another key.
Hear the home chord, then recognize where another chord belongs in a progression. Roman numerals name these harmonic roles.
For grown-ups: building this skill
Learn I and V, add IV and vi, then recognize their roles in fresh progressions and keys.
Coaching names the hidden chord as you answer. Then try identifying its role without that label.

Pitch Discrimination · Hearing a chord’s role
What this round tells you
We count your first chord choice and record labeled examples or replay help. The home reference is part of every question.
Your progress
Identify chords across fresh progressions with fewer extra references, then try a new key or another chord choice.

Recognizing chords in a musical context. Learn I, IV and V; recognize them in longer progressions and a new key; then add vi, a minor harmonic environment.
