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: RhythmsPart 2: Intervals (This one!)Part 3: MelodiesPart 4: Diatonic HarmonyPart 5: Chromatic MelodiesPart 6: Chromatic HarmonyEach 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 in this class (Part 2, Intervals):Why Do We Care about Ear Training? Methods of Interval RecognitionUsing Colors, Numbers, People, and TexturesUsing Familiar MelodiesIdentifying Major intervalsIdentifying Minor intervalsNotating a Melody by EarIdentifying Melodic and Harmonic IntervalsCommonly Confused Interval GroupsAnd Much, Much, More!My Promise to You:I am a full-time Music composer and Educator.
