Do I need an instrument to play this game?
No. Coco plays the sound and gives you focused answer choices, so you only need headphones and a few minutes of attention.
Pitch identification
Sonar - pitch identification ear training game
Sonar is Coco’s note-recognition game. A single pitch plays, and your job is to identify it before the timer runs out.
What this game trains
Notes
Sonar builds the habit of hearing notes as musical objects instead of guessing from instrument shapes. It is especially useful for singers, producers, and instrumentalists who want faster pitch recall and stronger melodic memory.
How it works
Coco keeps each question focused and scores the listening task immediately.
- Hear one piano note in a focused register.
- Choose the note name from a small answer set.
- Get immediate feedback so misses become useful listening reps.
- Unlock wider ranges and more chromatic notes as accuracy improves.
Difficulty progression
Levels add musical material gradually so the challenge grows with your ear.
- Starts with a few stable reference notes.
- Adds more chromatic notes and octave spread.
- Tightens time limits once the basic pitch map is reliable.

FAQ
Common questions
Can beginners use this game?
Yes. Early levels keep the answer set narrow, then add more notes, intervals, chords, or scales as your ear gets stronger.
Is Sonar the same as perfect pitch training?
No. Sonar is practical pitch identification and pitch memory. It can sharpen note recognition, but Coco does not promise perfect pitch.
