Hello,
This has been discussed before on this forum. You may be interested to make a search in order to find more info on that.
Basically, the idea is that there is no magic recipe. Only regular practice and consistency pay off. EarMaster is one of the best way to make daily practice easy and fun, so in that sense, you can't go wrong in choosing it. We recommend our users to practice with EarMaster 5 to 20 minutes a day, and to test themselves once in a while on their own instrument or with a CD, in order to measure their progress in real life situations.
If you practice on a regular basis, you should be able to see your progress after only a couple of weeks. But it is important to keep training. Your aural skills are like a muscle, they must be kept in shape in order to perform well.
Best of luck with your training - hopefully with EarMaster!

Great answer
Thx, that was the answer I was looking for, I've looked at many forums but didn't just see answers like this and I am getting earmaster xD , my dream has ways been to be the best at piano and now I get the chance with an inexpensive product, I'm only 14 and very interested in music
Just one more questions, how can you test yourself on your instrument?? Do you try to play the song?? Try to recognize the chords?? What to do you need to test expectially for piano?? I really need a vivid answer so I don't do anything wrong

Well, you could test yourself once in a while by listening to a tune (a couple of bars to start with) and then try to play it back on your instrument. While doing that, try to name what you are playing: for example a succession of intervals instead of simply naming the tones "M2-P5-m3" etc.
You could also have a friend play a couple of chords on the piano that you would try to identify by name or play back on the piano.
