MelodEar is a music learning interface that allows users to visualize, hear, and sing the melodic modes associated with the harmonic progression of a song. It provides a seamless way to navigate within and between modes by training the ear to recognize melodic passages. Users also have the flexibility to create their own chords, scales, and songs.

Created by David Eskenazy, a musician, singer, and facilitator, MelodEar embodies 15 years of passionate real-life teaching experience transformed into a practical tool for musicians.

Finally, singers have a sophisticated instrument tailored for exploring the complexities of jazz harmony. Instrumentalists, on the other hand, can enhance their inner listening skills and establish a direct connection between their fingers and musical ideas, resulting in a boundless wellspring of creativity. This unique tool empowers users to elevate their artistic expression to new heights and discover unexpected outcomes in their improvisations.

Workflow and Overview

MelodEar features a straightforward workflow with three main windows:

  • The Edit window allows users to edit chords, choose melodic modes, and build songs effortlessly.
  • The Library lets users store their compositions, access pre-filled jazz standards, and customize themes.
  • The Session window is where the magic happens – offering a visual interface to intuitively comprehend the melodic modes within a chord progression, including internal intervals, note quantities, and interconnections (refer to screenshot #1).

This visual guide empowers users to develop their improvised melodic narrative throughout the chord progression. It serves as a foundation for enhancing audiation and sensory memory of notes' colors, modes, intervals, and most importantly, the various melodic transitions between modes.

The Session window includes features such as chord player & keyboard, a vocal keyboard for playing mode notes, pitch recognition for sung notes, fine-tuning capabilities for pitch adjustment, and a looper for focused song section practice.

See It, Hear It & Sing It

"See it, hear it & sing it!" encapsulates the essence of MelodEar's musical approach:

  • See it: for clarity and guidance.
  • Hear it: building reliable skills for real-life improvisational contexts.
  • Sing it: regardless of vocal prowess, singing with MelodEar's pitch recognition offers a tangible assessment of one's auditory perception – transitioning abstract ear work into physical embodiment. The advice to instrumentalists and singers alike: Sing along!
