About ChordLingo

Making ear training accessible, fun, and effective for musicians everywhere.

Our Mission

ChordLingo was born from a simple observation: traditional music education often overlooks one of the most important skills a musician can develop - the ability to play by ear.

Research shows that ear training is the only musical skill that improves all other skills - improvisation, sight-reading, memorization, and performance. Yet most musicians struggle to find time for consistent practice.

The ChordLingo Approach

We believe that:

  • Consistency beats intensity - 2 minutes daily is more effective than hour-long sessions once a week
  • Games engage the brain - Gamification makes practice something you look forward to
  • Everyone can improve - Whether you're a beginner or professional, your ears can always get better
  • No sheet music required - Learning by ear is natural and accessible to everyone

The Science Behind It

Our training methods are grounded in music cognition research. Studies have shown that:

  • Playing by ear develops deeper musical understanding than notation-based learning alone
  • Regular, short practice sessions lead to better retention than infrequent long sessions
  • Gamified learning increases motivation and engagement
  • Immediate feedback accelerates skill development
