EAR- TRAINING
Being able to really hear music, and understand or reproduce it in real time, is one of the most valuable skills a musician can have. The following pages introduce some of the most common ways to train your ears and develop your musical understanding. However, this is really a life-long pursuit for any serious musician!
As with most aspects of music, Aural skills are most easily mastered if you break the subject down into smaller, manageable parts. Pages in this section will be divided into several broad categories:
Solfege (Tonic Sol-fa)
Recognising Intervals
Recognising Chords
Extended Chords
Bass Lines and Melodies
Internal Harmonies and Voicings
Transcribing Rhythms
