Getting Started with Ear Training

 

A musician with a good ear can play tunes quickly after hearing them, write down melodies and chords he hears in his head, or imagine a melody and play it instantly on his instrument. These feats can appear magical, but in reality they rest upon a set of specific, concrete skills that can be developed through practice and training.

Ear training develops and ties together all the skills that allow musicians to play, improvise and compose music by ear. It is the key to becoming not just good, but great. The courses and games on Theta Music Trainer will sharpen your musical ear and make you a better all-round musician.
