Free ear training programs

[MrBalloonHands]

I know this isn't exactly the best palce to ask a question like this, buit i figured I'd give it a shot.

Would any of you know a good, free ear training program that trains you by identifying the note, not by interval?

I had one on my old Windows 7 mahine that ran on Java, but I lost when I wiped the drive.

Thanks fo help,

Do you mean a program for perfect pitch ?

I've used GNU Solfege for many years in my teaching, but only for interval recognition/identification.

I had one on my old Windows 7 machine that ran on Java, but I lost when I wiped the drive.

Hmmm, what was it called ? If it's a pure Java app it might run natively in Linux.

Best,

it's not for free, but I can highllllly recomend David Moulton's "Golden Ears": http://www.moultonlabs.com/full/product01/
you wont find something like this for free, this will give you a professional producer's ear.

+1 Solfege. The indentify pitch recognition exercise in Solfege is a perfect pitch exercise.

However, personally, I think, that relative pitch exercises give you a much better understanding of musical relations and thus greater musical skills. And that, relations is what music is all about. Relations give you movement, contrast, harmony, melodi, dynamics. Single notes are more just building blocks, like single words in a novel. Just my opinion though. Perfect pitch exercises give better, well... perfect pitch.

Perhaps slightly off-topic, but next to solfege, I had fun with 'perfect ear pro' on my android mobile.
