Ear Training is more important to study than Music Theory, but so many people do this backwards. Use these exercises to improve your musical ear.

Thanks, Dave! I studied both piano and classical guitar in college. I tried to make these videos non-instrument specific enough for just about any musician to use, so I’m glad it’s working! I do reference the piano a lot, but the layout of the piano just makes so much sense. I even tell non-piano players to “think in piano” with certain music theory concepts.

i hope people realize that this is what matters, not Lydian whatchamacallits or tertian this or thats. your relationship to sound!

@joeluegersmusicacademy Ай бұрын

I can’t agree more. I’m in a few music theory groups online and every day I see people talking about polyrhythms, serialism, weird scales, and so on, and I always hope to myself that they’ve really solidified their ability to hear basic concepts in action before digging into things that the average musician doesn’t need 99% of the time.

@Johnwilkinsonofficial Ай бұрын

@@joeluegersmusicacademy its worse than that ! names dont matter and probably harm way more than they help. take a great church musician whos been making music in a practical way for years. you can add a bit of theory "oh we call that sound phrygian, like minor with the flat 2" in one second. the name has almost no value ! _the value is in having a deep personal relationship to the sound_ !

@joeluegersmusicacademy Ай бұрын

To counter that, I would say that the way the brain learns best is by putting vocabulary to things and chunking concepts into categories. Jazz musicians probably have the best ears out of any musician, and most of them know the terms, although they have also have the ability to put all of it in the back of their head and just play.

@Johnwilkinsonofficial Ай бұрын

@@joeluegersmusicacademy thats probably right, but i think jacob collier has it right, _the order is critical_ after it has become your own you can label it if it helps you bracket and multiply and expand it etc *but* its a terrible thing to teach people the concept before they have any practical experience with it i really believe that is catastrophic and basically widespread in education !

MINOR CORRECTION- At 1:14:32 The audio is correct, and the letter names displayed are correct. The chord progression is indeed D-Bb-C-D. For the Roman numerals it looks like I stopped typing too soon. Should be I-bVI-bVII-I.

Section with different triads is really helphul. Seems stupid but for the first time I feel I understand sus2 and sus4 chords. Great work!

@joeluegersmusicacademy 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! Sus chords are all about sensing which way they want to resolve. If you feel the inner note wanting to resolve up, it’s a Sus2. If it wants to resolve down, it’s a sus 4. Sus 4s have more tension, because they resolve by a half step instead of a whole step.

What is purpose of interval training, Could you please explain for me . I can hear the functional note- scale degree, triad, and bass note in key however I think hearing interval is unnecessary. I am looking forward to hearing your answer . Thank you

@joeluegersmusicacademy 10 ай бұрын

Honestly, functional ear training is more practical than interval ear training, but I don’t think any one kind of exercise will give you everything you need. Learning intervals is all about helping your ear recognize precise distances between notes. It helps when you are working out the individual notes of a complex chord or learning music without an obvious tonic. Intervals are a basic building block, so it can’t hurt to know what they sound like. I have a vocalist friend who performed an atonal opera piece, and I asked her how in the world she sang the right notes since there’s no “key” to latch onto. Her answer was that she knew her intervals.

@robertph1787 10 ай бұрын

@@joeluegersmusicacademy Great answer. Thank you so much. I usually ignore interval exercise because I don't know how to apply it. Usually I find the key and use functional ear training to find the note all it. Now I will practice interval exercise. Thank you

Should we be familiar with ear training first and then get into music theory or vice versa?

@joeluegersmusicacademy 7 ай бұрын

I believe learning to hear things first is far more useful and practical, although learning the theory and aural skills parts at the same time also works. What you don’t want to do is learn the theory without ever connecting it to what things sound like.

doesn't it make more sense for training to tell us the note, interval, chord etc first and then play it? with the sound first, it's more a test not training.

@gabrielesagone 6 ай бұрын

I guess is more useful like this because you train to recognize them. In the sense that when you hear something you there is nobody that tells you the intervals so you train to guess

@uwose 6 ай бұрын

Your descending interval exercises aren't really descending. I don't need the second tone to tell the interval. At the moment when I hear the first note I already know the interval. This is because I still have the base note in my ear which is lower than your first note. So in reality these exercises are ascending as well. I could propose you various fixes, but now when you know the problem you'll surely come up with your own solutions.

Do you you have a specific time stamp with a correction? A common misunderstanding is that I speak the name of an interval and then immediately play it. Rather, these questions are a quiz. I play an example while you guess the answer and THEN I speak the answer.
