This workshop dives into the essential skills required for ear training. Our main focus will be on triads.

First, we’ll review the sound and construction of major and minor chords. We’ll learn how to find the bass note of chords, and identify each interval of the chord. Finally, we’ll apply these techniques to various songs to figure out their chord progressions.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll understand the process of how to approach ear training.

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

Great course
I love the pace of these lessons. So well explained. Exactly what I need.
Eye opening, oops I mean EAR opening
I thought this would be too challenging for me but now I’m filling up some gaps in my learning journey. Fun and rewarding. Thanks for offering this type of knowledge.
Ear training with triads I
Great course. Thank you
Fun and challenging!
I really liked the way that Yannick started out with asking us to listen to a simple tune. Then he offered progressively more complex songs. He gave us good ideas for our practice (Try playing this song in every key. And sing along. ) I got a lot out of this workshop. Thanks, Yannick!
Ear training
Yannick has opened my eyes to my ears..sounds funny I know.. but point being I now realize I’ve never genuinely used my ears to actually listen…

In this workshop, we'll explore ear training with triad inversions. We'll be arpeggiating triads in order to hear the intervals that make up each chord. Then we'll go through song examples to train our ear in a progressive, step-by-step way.

Learn the essential skills required for ear training. We'll explore song associations for all ascending and descending intervals, and review fundamental music vocabulary. Then we’ll work out simple melodies by ear, and find different ways to harmonize those melodies.

Learn how to quickly & easily transpose a lead sheet. Using the Number Chart method, we'll analyze a melody and chords, "convert" them to numbers, and apply the numbers to a new key.
