How to Identify Tones
Identifying tones gets easier when you stop asking 'what exact number is this?' and start asking 'how does this compare to what I just heard?'

How to practice
- Listen for relationships first: higher, lower, brighter, duller, more tense, or more settled.
- Repeat one tone pair until you can describe the difference without looking at the answer.
- Use revealed results after the round to connect your impression to the actual target.
Quick answer
Most people identify tones better through contrast and repetition than through isolated memorization.

Play one scored round, look at the revealed targets, then describe your misses out loud. That simple loop makes tone identification much less abstract.
