Description

In this course, we are going to learn the absolute basics of ear-training, pitch recognition, as well as how to finds chords and melodies. We will be discussing how to recognize and name groups of notes on the piano by using “relative pitch” as well as the basic concepts behind harmony, tonality, and musical keys.
Each class will have the same format:
•Introduce a new concept in ear training
•Give examples/exercises of how to listen, understand and achieve this concept
•Take a guided quiz based on what you have learned
What makes this class somewhat unique is that we will start at the absolute beginning, and once you understand the concepts of higher and lower sounds, we then explore very simple pitch recognition (note naming) quizzes and tutorials.
This is the perfect course for someone who want to learn how to play by ear, but feels overwhelmed by the fast pace of many “play music by ear” courses.
