  • How do I find the key of a song by ear?

    Listen for the note that feels most settled and resolved. That note is the tonic. Once the tonic is clear, decide whether the overall character of the sound is major (brighter) or minor (darker). Key Seeker 64 trains this exact skill with short music loops.
