Test and improve your intonation!
A top-10 music app in 15 countries and a top-25 music app in more than 40 countries!
It’s easy to find apps to help musicians play in tune, but not to improve a musician’s ears. Now that changes, with InTune, the app that helps musicians play in tune by improving their ability to hear.
InTune is an outgrowth of twenty-five years of research and testing in the field of intonation by cellist and professor of 
music Daniel Kazez. The concept began as a simple game to test the ability to hear two pitches that are very close together. But then in a university research study, Kazez discovered that students’ hearing improved the more often they played — at triple the rate of those who did not.
With InTune, you’ll hear two pitches and determine whether the second is higher or lower than the first. It starts easy but gets more difficult, until you find the closest pair of pitches that you can hear. Play again and improve your score — and your ear! Share your score with others and find out who has the best ear.
The InTune team is Daniel Kazez, Prof. of Music, Peiqian Li (lead engineer, class of 2013), and Crispin Prebys (graphic designer, Asst. Prof. of Art). Have questions about InTune? Contact Prof. Kazez: dkazez@wittenberg.edu
