@barliman2001 Thank youuuuu!!! I came across an article about functional ear training while exploring the ToneScholar app I've been using. Do you believe this approach is as effective as the one you recommended? You can find the article here: https://tonescholar.com/blog/functional-ear-training-explained

Hi ya'll! I'm am VERY new to the trumpet. How do you improve your ears? I'm taking relative pitch, chord progression recognition, recognizing sharp/flat, etc. Let me know your favorite exercises or resources.

So far I have just been using this web app (not that I'm looking for another app to use-- more just looking for tips and tricks) for ear training called ToneScholar (https://tonescholar.com) and it seems quite good. It’s intuitive and it’s really improved my relative pitch, but is not specifically the trumpet. In fact it's all voice-based, so probably better for singers. If anyone has excercises similar to the ones that app uses, I'd be super thankful.

I would appreciate it!
