Are you a music maker, performer, composer, or aspiring songwriter looking to up your game? This is the place to start.

Ear Training and Aural Skills is the practice of learning to play music by ear, learning to notate music by ear, and learning to understand music on a deeper level just by hearing it. 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: Rhythms
• Part 2: Diatonic Intervals
• Part 3: Melodies
• Part 4: Diatonic Harmony
• Part 5: Chromatic Melodies
• Part 6: Chromatic Harmony

This class is the "Masterclass" Version, and it contains the complete parts 1, 2, and 3!

Each 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.
