chord?
Your solfege stays honest when the metrics do.
Every answer you give the app becomes a data point. Patterns emerge that self-practice doesn't surface.
How it works
Diatonic first, modulation next.
Every drill lives in a real key with functional context. Secondary dominants, modulation, and modal interchange are all taught in the key that frames them.
Matrix tracks function, not just notes.
Solfege accuracy, chord-function confusions, cadence-point errors — all visible after every session.
Weak-spot drills built from your data.
Targeted sessions on the specific functions, keys, and cadences where your ear still wavers.
For ears already trained
Solfege-aligned scale degrees
Movable-do by default, fixed-do as a setting. Your solfege system, honored.
Roman-numeral chord function
Chords labeled I, ii°, V7, Neapolitan. Hear functions, not just notes.
Sight-singing with mic scoring
Cents-accurate pitch tracking on single-voice passages. Multi-voice post-launch.
Vocal range aware
Set your comfortable range; drills transpose. Free.
How Fifths compares
Classical ear training tools exist. Most are 20-year-old desktop software or locked-away conservatory apps. We're neither.

Frequently asked
Does this support movable-do?
Yes, by default. Fixed-do is available as a setting. Your solfege system, your call.
Does it work for choral sight-reading?
Single-voice at launch. Multi-voice (SATB passage scoring) is on the post-launch roadmap — 3–6 months out.
How does the functional-analysis work?
Chords are labeled with Roman numerals in context (I, ii°, V7/V, bII — even Neapolitans and augmented sixths at higher levels). The matrix tracks which functions you mis-identify most often.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Full baseline curriculum + 7-day analytics. Pro adds advanced modules, unlimited history, mic input, and auto-drill.
When does it launch?
Summer 2026. Waitlist gets first crack at $99 lifetime (100 seats, never reopens).
