Description
100% Answer Rate! Every single question posted to this class is answered within 24 hours by the instructor.

Are you a music maker, performer, composer, or aspiring songwriter looking to up your game? This is the place to start.

Ear Training and Aural Skills is the practice of learning to play music by ear, learning to notate music by ear, and learning to understand music on a deeper level just by hearing it. In this class we are going to learn techniques for listening, analyzing, and notating music (writing it down) just by listening. Perfect Pitch is not required.

If you don’t know me, I’ve published a lot of music theory classes here. Those classes have been really successful, and the number one request I’ve been getting from students is to make an Ear Training sequence of classes. So here it is! This series will have 6 parts:

Part 1: Rhythms

Part 2: Diatonic Intervals

Part 3: Melodies

Part 4: Diatonic Harmony

Part 5: Chromatic Melodies

Part 6: Chromatic Harmony

This class is the “Masterclass” Version, and it contains the complete parts 1, 2, and 3!

Each of these classes comes with about 4 hours of training, and a LOT of things to practice with. And of course, access to me with any questions you have at any time.

Here is a list of some of the topics we will cover:

You will not have another opportunity to learn Ear Training in a more comprehensive way than this.

Let’s get started!

See you in lesson 1.
