Auralia is perfect for schools, colleges, universities, and anyone learning or teaching an instrument.

Interactive testing

-- Identify & sing intervals, and notes from chords

-- Melodic and rhythmic dictation

-- Identify cadences

-- Recognize and correct poor tuning

-- Sing upper or lower part of a two-part phrase

-- Write down chord progressions

The tests are designed for classical, jazz and rock/pop students, with special exercises on jazz/contemporary scales, chords and progressions.

Select, play or sing
Some tests in Auralia have multiple-choice questions; others let you answer by clicking an on-screen piano keyboard, playing on a MIDI keyboard; Auralia even lets you sing into a microphone!

Advance quickly
Auralia has graded levels, so students can progress to more advanced exercises as they improve. When a student has mastered a topic at a particular level and is achieving good test marks, 'The Professor' will automatically move them up to the next level. You can even create your own tests to suit your students' requirements.

Track student progress
Auralia records all your results, for you to view on screen or print out. You can print student and class results in any of 25 useful reports, and marks are compiled over time so you can monitor students' progress from week to week. If you use a network, all student results are stored in a single central database, whichever computer they work on.

Complete reference
If you get stuck, or need some extra help, Auralia includes detailed on-screen reference information, with helpful music examples to listen to.
