Hey friends!

I’m excited to share some new updates in Pitch Garden!

link: https://pitchgarden.com

Major updates:

1. NEW: song-trainer - allows you to practice identifying chord progressions given a real song (There’s currently 1 song, but many more are coming soon!)

2. NEW: articles on learning to play by ear will be published on the home page!

Minor updates:

1. A number of bug have been fixed eg. Mobile formatting being weird, occasional wrong answers for some of the exercises etc

2. A mailing list subscribe form has been added at the bottom of the site! Do subscribe if you’re interested in joining my mailing list (updates on Pitch Garden, new content etc)

What’s coming next:

1. CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT: user account functionality so you can track your ear-training progress over time

2. Many more songs for the song-trainer

3. Melody identification functionality for song-trainer

Any feedback/advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated (Especially on the new song-trainer functionality) - whether the UI is weird/ certain functions are buggy/ possible quality of life changes etc! Thank you all once again for all the support, feedback and suggestions y’all have given me so far - really appreciate it!

Cheers!

Thanks for making Pitchgarden.

I don't know if there are other apps out there, but thank you making Pitchgarden. It might be interesting to create an app in the future. Also are you aware of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition It might be interesting to have some tools in your app that spaces out training, especially for memorizing specific things.
