clearEar- A Project to Train Your Musical Ear

Game Methodology

There are three levels clearEar: A random sequence of notes in a major scale are played and you have to guess the key of those notes. The three levels are: i. Human Ears: where the tonic is played softly in the background while other notes play and you can see the scale degree of those notes (BONUS: use background volume slider for the tonic) ii. Bushbaby Ears: where the tonic is not played in the background but you can see the scale degree of those notes iii. Elephant Ears: where you can only hear the notes and there are no scale degree lines. Note colors appear where the tonic was. Note the band lines don't appear here. You then try to guess the key in the top-right hand input and it will display "Correct!" or "Incorrect" each time

Page Structure

There is a navigation bar at the top of clearEar that slides between these different game modes. On the right of the navbar is where you guess the key

The band is below the navbar and the sliding volume changer (BONUS) for Human Ears is below the band

My First Steps:

I will begin the project by using sounds from an API I will use a for loop and event listeners to play a random sound and display that color of the 12 notes when I hit the button I will set up an input so that I can guess the key and it will come back These will be my MVP, and everything else will be stretch goals
