The short answer: JoinMyJam's ear training games are free practice games for musicians, in the browser, with nothing to install and no subscription: name a note by ear, intervals, chord types, chord progressions, scales, scale degrees, and reading notes on the staff. Each game is a path of short levels with stars and checkpoints.

Free ear training on JoinMyJam is a set of seven games at Music games. Each game plays a short sound and asks one question about it, ten rounds make a set, and a set takes under a minute. Every game has a lesson before each new step, song anchors from songs you know, a stats dashboard and a Challenge leaderboard, in Hebrew and English. Note reading is the one eye game of the seven: it trains reading the staff, not hearing.
JoinMyJam's Name the note game is free pitch training in the browser: you hear one note and find its key on an on-screen piano. It has 21 levels, starting from two notes, home and the fifth, and growing through the third, the second, the sixth and a five-note pentatonic to all twelve notes. Later levels add the low and high octaves, then remove the reference note, and the last level asks for any note in any octave, which is the perfect pitch exercise. Every note has a short description of its colour, such as the bright major third or the bluesy minor seventh, so the sound is attached to a word. It suits players who want to recognise a note without an instrument in hand.
JoinMyJam's Interval ear game is free interval training: two notes play, and you name the distance between them, from unison to the octave. It has 19 levels. The first levels use only the unison, the perfect fifth and the octave, then add the fourth, the tritone, the thirds, the seconds, the sixths and the sevenths. Later levels play the interval going down, two notes together, and in the high and low registers. Each interval has an anchor, a song you already know that starts with that jump, such as Happy Birthday, Silent Night or Hatikvah, so the sound is tied to a tune. Interval ear suits beginners learning to hear a fifth or a third, and players who want to sing or play by ear.
JoinMyJam's Chord types game trains you to hear what kind of chord is playing: one chord sounds, and you choose its quality. It has 20 levels and 14 chord qualities: major, minor, diminished, augmented, dominant 7th, major 7th, minor 7th, half-diminished, diminished 7th, sus2, sus4, and the dominant, major and minor 9ths. A wrong answer gets a short explanation of what separates the two chords, for example that the third decides major or minor, and that a diminished chord also flattens the fifth. Chord types suits guitarists and pianists who read chord symbols and want to hear them before they play them.
JoinMyJam's Chord progressions game trains you to follow a sequence of chords and name each one by its function: a few chords play in a row, and you name every chord in order. It has 16 levels. It begins with I and V, home and tension, then adds IV, vi and ii, and moves through four-chord pop loops, cadences, minor keys and the 12-bar blues, ending with everything together. Progressions have song anchors too, so the I V vi IV loop is tied to songs that use it, in Hebrew and in English. It suits songwriters, accompanists and anyone who wants to work out a song's chords by ear.
JoinMyJam's Scales game trains you to name a scale by ear: a scale runs up from its first note, and you pick its name. It has 21 levels and 14 scales: major, natural minor, harmonic minor, melodic minor, major and minor pentatonic, blues, the dorian, mixolydian, lydian, phrygian and locrian modes, whole tone and chromatic. Each scale comes with a one-line description of its colour, for example that mixolydian is major with a lowered seventh, and a wrong answer shows the scale that really played. Scales suits improvisers and students of modes who want to know how a scale sounds before they play it.
JoinMyJam's Scale degrees game trains you to hear where a note sits in a key: you hear the key first, then a few notes play in a row, and you tap them in the order you heard them, as do, re, mi or as 1, 2, 3. It has 14 levels, from three notes of the home chord, through two notes in a row and the whole scale, to any of twelve keys with four notes in a row. Each degree has a feel, such as home, tension or pulling downward. Scale degrees suits singers and instrumentalists who want to hear a melody in relation to its key rather than as isolated notes.
JoinMyJam's Note reading game trains the eye, not the ear: a note or a short melody is drawn on a staff and you name it. It has 13 levels. A short lesson comes first: the five lines and four spaces of the treble clef, ledger lines, middle C, the bass clef, then sharps and flats. Later levels draw both clefs, key signatures and short melodies, and you answer by note name, as letters or as do-re-mi. Note reading is the one game of the seven that has no leaderboard, since it trains reading rather than hearing. It suits beginners who cannot yet read music.
Every JoinMyJam ear training game is a path of levels, and each level is a set of ten rounds. A set earns stars: one star at 70% right, two at 80% and three at 100%. Two stars open the next level. Every few levels there is a checkpoint, which adds nothing new and mixes everything from the levels before, and a lesson before each new step plays the new sound three times, each time beside one you already know. The map of a game shows the stars on every level, so you always see which step comes next.
JoinMyJam's song anchors tie a sound to a song you already know. In Interval ear, each interval is shown with a song that starts with that jump, and in Chord progressions a progression is shown with songs built on it, including Hebrew songs. Each anchor has a play button and, when the song is in the JoinMyJam library, a link to its song page. Song anchors never change a score.
JoinMyJam's Today's practice picks three short sets for you each day, mixing the next level of a game, a weak spot, a review and a new game. Three sets of about 41 seconds each take about three minutes. The home of the games shows a seven-day strip and the current streak, the number of days in a row you practised, so a few minutes a day is visible. When a day is done the page says so and offers one more set.
JoinMyJam's stats dashboard shows your progress from the first set: a mastery figure that counts the stars across every game, the number of answers and your accuracy, the time practised, the minutes on each of the last seven days, a breakdown by game, and an improvement graph. The graph starts on the day you play your first set, so it grows with you. With an account, the progress follows you between devices; without one, it is saved in the browser.
The Challenge is JoinMyJam's ranked mode for the ear training games: you play from level 1 upward until you make three misses, and everyone takes the same test, so scores are comparable. Your best Challenge run in a game is your score on that game's board, and a first board adds the games together, shown for all time or for the current week. You appear on a board when you play signed in with a verified email, and you can hide yourself from the boards at any time. Practice sets and the custom drill never reach a board.
JoinMyJam's placement test is for players who already know some of this: it takes about two minutes, and each step you pass marks the levels before it as passed with two stars each, so your path starts at the right level. The custom drill builder is for working on one thing: you choose exactly which intervals, chords, scales or notes to practise, and play ten rounds of only those. A drill earns no stars and never reaches a leaderboard, but it does move your mastery.
JoinMyJam's practice preferences apply to every ear training game at once. You choose note names as letters or as do-re-mi, sharps or flats, and the sound of piano, steel guitar or nylon guitar. You choose the octave range, low, middle, high or random, and whether a reference C plays before a single note or an interval. The Challenge ignores the octave and reference settings, so that everyone takes the same test.
