Ear training with Anki

This post was created in collaboration with Thomas Fischbach after a discussion whether it would be possible for a person with only relative hearing to gain perfect hearing by practicing identifying musical notes with a flash card program.

No conclusive answer to this question will be given within this post, but you may try for yourself using  the following script. It can be used to create an Anki deck with sounds. Anki is an excellent flash card program (similar to Mnemosyne). csound is a software synthesizer used for sound generation. Installation instructions are provided with the script.

  1. Hey! Tried running the script but wasn't able to because of a problem with subprocess. Are you able to upload an apkg-file for anki?

    Thanks.

  2. Hi Stian,
    that's a great idea. I have not yet worked with apkg files, but I'll look into it as soon as I have a bit of time.

    1. Thanks! I'd gladly pay something for it if you do. I've bought anki decks in the past :)

    2. Hi again,

      If you have the deck in anki (as it looks like you have), you can easily export it from there to apkg.
