Ear Training Masterclass: Learn Music By Ear (Parts 1-3)

Descripción

You hear a melody. You want to play it. You can't. Or you can play it, but you couldn't tell someone why it works. Or you can tell them why — but if I played you two intervals back-to-back, you'd freeze. Ear training is the skill that closes all three of those gaps. It's the difference between a musician who can copy what they hear and a musician who can understand what they hear and then do something new with it. This course is the complete Parts 1, 2, and 3 of my ear training sequence — bundled into one masterclass. What you'll be able to do by the end: • Notate rhythms by ear in any common time signature, including 16th notes, triplets, and compound meters (6/8, 9/8, 3/8) • Identify every diatonic interval by ear — both melodic and harmonic • Take dictation on melodies — write down what you hear, accurately • Tell the difference between commonly confused intervals (the ones that trip everyone up) • Use practical recognition techniques: familiar melodies, colors, numbers, textures — whatever sticks for your brain What's actually in here: • Part 1: Rhythms. Notating rhythms in 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, plus 6/8, 9/8, 3/8. Rests, ties, 16ths, triplets. • Part 2: Diatonic Intervals. Major, minor, perfect — recognition systems that actually work. • Part 3: Melodies. Taking dictation on full melodic phrases, not just isolated notes. • Hundreds of practice exercises with answer keys. This is the part most ear training courses skip. A note on Perfect Pitch: You don't have it. Almost no one does. You don't need it. We use relative pitch — the same thing every working musician uses — and it's a learnable skill. Why this course: • Practice, not just theory. Hundreds of exercises. You will get reps. • All three parts in one place. No upselling you to "Part 2" later. • 30-day money-back guarantee. If it's not working for you, get a refund. No questions. • I answer every question posted in the class, within 24 hours. Not a TA. Me. Who I am: Hi, I'm Jay. I'm a tenured university music professor with a Ph.D. in Music. I'm also a working composer and an active guitarist — so I use this stuff every day, in real situations, not just on a whiteboard. My theory and ear training courses have around a million students and a 4.7+ average rating. Who this is for: Musicians, songwriters, producers, performers, composers, and theory students who are tired of "almost" hearing the music. If you've taken (or are about to take) a college aural skills class — this is the most efficient way to get ahead of it. Let's train your ears. See you in Lesson 1. — Jay

Lo que aprenderás

• Notate rhythms by ear in 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, 9/8, and 3/8 — including rests, ties, 16th notes, and triplets
• Identify every diatonic interval by ear, both melodically (one note after another) and harmonically (both notes at once)
• Take melodic dictation — hear a phrase and write it down accurately
• Distinguish between commonly confused interval pairs (the ones that trip everyone up)
• Use proven recognition techniques: familiar melodies, colors, numbers, textures — whatever sticks for your brain
• Understand what Perfect Pitch actually is (and why you don't need it) versus the Relative Pitch every working musician uses
• Build a daily ear training practice with hundreds of exercises and answer keys

Requisitos

• Basic music notation literacy (you can read a treble clef and identify note names and basic rhythms)
• Basic music theory (major/minor scales, intervals by name)
• Any instrument is fine — or no instrument at all; this is about your ears, not your hands
