Earz Solo

Music lessons for everyone: Earz teaches you to read musical notes, to understand music theory and to identify basic musical principles by listening (high/low, long/short, and loud/soft), instruments, rhythm, intervals, chords, and scales.
Earz provides no explanations; you learn by answering audio questions.
The app is suitable for everyone; from beginners to professionals (solfège), for young and old, and it operates as a game (with several levels, highscores, etc.).
