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-Application to Melodies

I appreciated all the tips and techniques to use to achieve this skill that so far has eluded me. While I can repeat most melodies by singing, it is like pulling teeth applying it to an instrument but it makes sense now that it is more a thing of patience and diligence for me. I liked that Yannick said that music is a forever learning thing. It is so true! I also really enjoyed the harmony explanations.

Practice more

This wasn’t easy for me even though I thought I had a good ear. I will need to review this again.
