Can you please give me some pointers here? I would like to drill on only 2 notes at a time to learn perfect pitch. how would i use earmaster to do that. Thank you.
EarMaster is made to exercise relative pitch, but you can configure it to train perfect pitch too. I think however, you will soon find out that it don't move at all.
To train perfect pitch (i.e. identify absolute tones) use “Customized exercise” and configure the melodic dictation exercises on your own.
The melodic dictation exercise can be configured to make questions with only one tone.
To identify several tones in a row, you can also use melodic dictation or you can use the Interval exercise if you want to practice identifying two tones and the Chord exercise is for multiple tones.
In the Customized exercise window, disable the "Play tonic of key" option.
In the "Exercise settings" menu, disable the "Show first tone" option and the "Play tone on mouse-click" option, and make sure you answer the questions on the staff, piano or guitar and not using the multiple choice buttons.
Best regards,
