Idea: Portable Interval Trainer

Image via CrunchBaseI have a job! I'll be joining the Jones Day Patent Group in New York City. Looks like my wandering days are over for now.

Yesterday I was driving in my car thinking about training your ear. At music schools they use programs like the 'EarMaster' to train you to recognize intervals, chords, scales etc. This is really tedious but a vital skill to aquire if you want to compose music (anyone that has tried to use Reason or Garageband without music theory background will probably agree). Training your ear is tedious and requires hours of listening and distinguishing notes, but the software out there makes a relatively entertaining game out of it, so it's not so bad.

I realized though that I really want to be able to do this training any time, not just when I'm in front of my computer. What would be ideal is a program for an Iphone or even the DS or PSP. This would be such a good way to pass the time on a train (I'm thinking ahead to my commute from Fairfield to NYC) or on the road or wherever. Someone make this plz! And if this is one of those iphone apps that makes the creater tons of cash, all the better.
