Ear training is all about hearing and identifying notes, chords, rhythms, etc. as they’re being played and even having them in your head before you play them. Getting to grips with just some of this wide subject matter should enable us to play more freely. This online course is invaluable if you really want to improve as a player.
There are a few pillars of music – ear training is one of them.
Ear training is a core skill which will help take our playing to new levels. Listen to and learn to recognise pitches, intervals, chords, melody and lots more and then play them and maybe go on to transcribe them. Hear it and then play it. Play more freely and become a better musician. Training your ear is a skill that can be acquired and it should encourage your creativity and enable to play less robotically.
Absolutely any level for acoustic or electric (or bass) players.
These particular sessions usually require use of barre chords and knowledge of the fretboard but this about hearing the notes and difference in pitch between them.
These sessions are layered to allow different player levels to learn and play along at the same time. Whatever level you are at, you’ll have lots of takeaways to work on later.
You’ll receive any lesson PDF(s) just before the session and we’ll make a Zoom recording of the live lesson available to you afterwards.
The session is 60 minutes long; don’t expect to master everything during the session. The tutor will go through all the key parts, demonstrating them and discussing the associated techniques and know-how.
The real work is done by you afterwards. Armed with the materials (PDFs and video recording), you’ll have all the tools to work on things at your own pace.
When you book you’ll have two options:
1. You want to join the live Zoom session.
You’ll receive the joining instructions on the day. Being live, you’ll be able to put your own questions directly to the tutor during the session. Choose option 1, Lesson and materials.
2. Maybe you’d like to attend but can’t make it on this occasion?
You can buy the materials and receive them after the session (i.e. lesson PDF(s) and access to a Zoom recording of the live session). Choose option 2, Materials only.
