Ear Training 2

Ear Training 2 is designed to help you learn essential musicianship skills applicable to all styles of music: the ability to read music notation, as well as the ability to recognize, imagine, remember, and notate musical sounds. Through guided practice of ear training techniques, your musical perception and performance will become more accurate and you will become more fluent in translating sound into notation and notation into sound. The techniques for learning ear training—moveable Do solfège, conducting, counting systems, and dictation techniques—are time-tested aids for the development of these musicianship skills. The skills you will learn will be useful in composition, arranging, production, learning new repertoire, and bandleading. Ear Training 2 will also improve improvisation skills, musical interaction in performance, and music perception in listening.

 

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Accurately perform sight-singing of rhythms in common meters and diatonic melodies in major and minor keys, including all forms of the minor scale
• Listen and accurately dictate rhythms in common meters and diatonic melodies in major and minor keys
• Accurately perform rhythms and melodies using moveable Do solfège syllables and conducting patterns
• Demonstrate swing feels in 4/4 and 3/4 meters
• Recognize triads, 7th chords, and diatonic major-key chord progressions
