Learn the essential skills required for ear training. Our main focus will be on intervals – the building blocks of music.

First, we’ll review basic musical vocabulary – major/minor scales, triads, chromatic scales, and inversions. We’ll explore song associations for all ascending and descending intervals. Next we’ll practice melodic dictations and experiment with different harmonies. Finally, we’ll apply these techniques to various melodies – Ode to Joy (beginner), Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (Intermediate), and the Star-Spangled Banner (advanced).

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have all the tools you need to develop your musical ear!

For software ear trainers, we recommend the following: Keyboard Relative Pitch, Note Relative Pitch, Intervals, Scales, Chords

ear training awakening

Very challenging for me. As a relatively beginner, I found the this difficult. I feel I got more out of the first three. It is a skill I very much need to work on. I will try to hear and play intervals for at least a few minutes each time I practice.

I still need to practice my ear training with various songs...the explanations were clear. I like the ear exercises.

The best course on ear training!

I've enrolled in all the courses under the sun. And some of them have a topic on ear training and how important it is. But this specific one on ear training is the best by far! It just convinced me to upgrade from the trial!
