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

Nice beginning for ear training
Nice beginning for ear training. It opens huge ways of progression. I didn’t succeed all steps but I can see how to progress.
Challenging
I have always added playing the 4th & 5th chord at the end of each scale while practicing. I didn’t realize what a benefit it was to my ear training until this course.
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.
