I think my 2 strongest games are Intervalis (actually any interval games, but the rest of them are easier for me and I have them switched off) and Rhytmania (despite all those mistakes on notation you reported, as I did long ago 😒). I can't remember the percentiles, I'm just rating games based on how confident I feel on my skills.

Leaving aside those 'singing' games (my throat seems to be somehow disconnected to my brain) I had to de-activate soon after they were created, my weakest games would be Scale Spy (since it started changing grades' positions) and Inversionist, just because the task of discerning 4, 5 notes sounding harmonically, finding out their relative intervals and matching that info with the theoretical data in my brain is not exactly an easy one...😅

Yea, that is what I am doing, so I guess that I just need to internalize them better. I agree, without theory you cannot succeed, and you also have little application of what you can hear without it as well!

Congrats @David Robinson!

I have the same approach as you, these exercises are a bridge between the instruments and the natural way of playing and theory. Everytime I make a mistake, I replay the three notes of the inverted chord in my head and try to make clear what the intervals actually were, and why I didn't hear them properly. It really helps as making mistakes is so demotivating that you don't want to do them anymore.

Many of the mistakes I make is because I want to go too fast. The contest is a good exercise to balance out between going slow and overthinking it, and going too fast, which is bad because then Istart answering at random instead of making sure I'm right (and then I learn nothing).

A nice comeback, David!! Congrats!!

Awesome!

Congratulations! Good for you!!!

Thanks guys!

You're definitely right about this. I accidentally sang a couple of Mi's instead of Fa's earlier and it detected them as correct. Please let support know and I'll do likewise https://www.tonegym.co/support/index

It tends to be more sensitive on the semi tone intervals of the scale... I think a lot it has to do with how your individual ear hears that interval... some intervals of a scale have more grey area in what is considered correct and incorrect because of how notes have to be divided to accomodate different tuning systems. Just my theory 😊 I could be right or wrong about this.

I guess this could be the right time for me to try again on this game...😁

Congrats!

Good for you!!!

Thank you!😀 That has been a dream of mine for over 9 months!

@Dima G I'd love to know the app, too. Your comment was so helpful. I struggle with transcription - I know it's really good for my development, but it takes me so long. Doing shorter melodic phrases is something I'm going to try now. Thank you as always for your great advice!

it’s “melodic dictation” in earpeggio on the appstore. unfortunately it’s not without some quirks, for example it’s not possible to switch the key from anything other than white keys. i set the starting note either to C or A, which makes me perceive the melody as either in a major or a minor context.

I'm going to give it a shot -- many thanks @Dima G

Gargantuan achievement!!👑👑
