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

Super Important!

This is one area where I struggle a lot. I'm planning on taking so many tips from this course and develop my aural skills. A little a day, will do wonders in time!

Most important!!

One of the big takeways from going back to basis is that I am trying now not to learn only the tactile and muscle-memory aspects of exercising at the piano, but always getting my ear involved and trying to hear notes before I actually play them. So, now when I learn a diminished chord I try to learn both the fingering and the sound my fingers are going to produce. I know this word is used a lot, but this course is truly FUNDAMENTAL !

Appears simple but not easy

There are so much to learn and practice in this ear training course. This is not easy for me but I now start to appreciate the importance of training the ear to hear music accurately. Thank you 🙏🏻
