Major scale practice on ukulele — ear training, play by ear — NoSheet

Root Shuffling

The root jumps to a new pitch periodically during gameplay — the same noteset is reseated on a fresh root, building the ability to summon the noteset by its type from any root. This makes playing in any key trivial.

Ionian (Major)

The major scale — the most familiar sound in Western music

Ionian is the major scale — the most familiar and foundational major major mode, and the most common scale in Western music. Bright, resolved, and stable: the default sound of nursery rhymes and most pop and rock. Its major pentatonic subset is the innate human melodic scale.
