Hi Mark, it's awesome to hear that. I'm glad you're finding our course so helpful. Thank you for the support! 😉

Thank you!

yes!

Start out by recognizing the 7 basic triads included in the tonality. When you got them the others usually aren't much of an issue.

Do you mean the ones that only includes the major notes for every note of the chord?

Hi @11kwright, just to clarify. The course includes 8 hours of video lessons, tons of audio and pdf files to practice with and it's the best and most through representation of our method. It required years of research, testing and development to create our method and one entire year to produce this course and put it together. This is by far the best ear training method available, especially when it comes to developing perception and understanding of musical pitch. It's not comparable to anything else in terms of effectiveness, clarity and depth of explanations, specific instructions on exactly how to think when performing each ear training task, etc. Most people learn to recognize chords and melodies by ear alone in just a few months of following the course. It only costs the equivalent of 2 or 3 months of music lessons with a private teacher who, best case scenario "doesn't know anything about ear training", worst case scenario "will make you frustrated and waste a lot of your time and energy in practicing the wrong exercises". For what our course offers, holding off on lessons with your private music teacher for two or three months and investing that money in a serious ear training course seems like a no-brainer to me, as what you learn here will fundamentally change how you interact with and connect to music for the rest of your life. However, if you are not prepared to allocate any funds towards a private music teacher, then this course might not be for you. It is specifically designed for individuals who are deeply committed to their musical skills. I'm sorry if this reply seemed a bit aggressive, I just wanted to clarify.

Hi thanks for your comment, no it's not useful for most musicians. It's actually counterproductive, especially for beginners and intermediate level musicians. Please check out this video where I explain why kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8iioMWKxq_NlI0.htmlfeature=shared

I'm not getting the point, feel free to explain.

It's not an additional facet, it's the starting point. If you don't have that, there is no point in working on developing anything else. After you have that skill then you can build on top of it. But that skill alone will put you on a totally another level, as it allows to recognize most melodies/chords very quickly. Hope that's clearer.

Thank you!

I'm sorry to having to correct you but it's something expensive developed around a deep scientific understanding of it (through real scientific studies as you can see in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMiTo8eTxJjKlX0.html ) and a ton of real evidence based on the results our students get, as you can see here: Melodic recognition improvement kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndGphsiD07q8j2w.html Chord recognition improvement kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKdlibCXyZ_To3U.html Musical memory improvement kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdqfZpR-t7jXmp8.html Lastly, I kindly invite you to watch what our students think about our "Strong opinions" here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdaGd86km9S3dXU.html There are more than 2000 students inside our course, so quite a lot of people that have a "strong opinion".

Cioè se suono un sol dopo aver suonato un do, potrei confondere il sol con il mi, oppure da un re se suono il fa diesis potrei sentirlo come un la, e così via…

Grazie per il commento

Thank you

?

Thank you very much

All the best

Thanks

There are thousands of students following our method, they don't feel sorry at all, they are really happy about it. Check them out here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdaGd86km9S3dXU.html You can also see their results in these videos here: Melodic recognition improvement kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndGphsiD07q8j2w.html Chord recognition improvement kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKdlibCXyZ_To3U.html Musical memory improvement kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdqfZpR-t7jXmp8.html

Absolutely! That's why we have an entire 8-hour long video course, where we laid out our entire science-based, step by step method. The course also includes all the exercises (audio and pdf). It's an all in one solution to fix ear training problems once and for all. You can check out our course here www.useyourear.com/

But it’s easier through something like app which we can practice anytime and anywhere we want.

@@I-is-me You're right, as for now things are only available through our course. Software development is very expensive, and the ear training market is kinda small. I bet you get that these 2 things don't go well together. So it's not that easy to create an app that works well without a lot of budget.

Then won’t an ebook do the work, people will know what to do and they can practice anytime. It’s really efficient.

@@I-is-me No it won't

Hi Maria, thanks for your comment. Our course is entirely online and it's available directly from our website. Please check it out here www.useyourear.com/

But also epiphematically right! Thanks

Thanks for your comment. I hope this video clarifies what might have gone wrong in your past experiences.

grazie per il commento.

Thanks for your comment. What you are saying is so true. That said, melodic dictation is far easier when approached from a tonal perspective instead of an intervallic one.

Better to learn absolute sounds within the key you’re playing in. So hear/recognize a 123 in a key. Each of those 12 possibilities sounds different to the ear and is in fact what you do when you sing a song. Then recognize what a 251 sounds like, recognize 321, recognize 361 etc. It’s all listening with a lot of focus, you’ll start recognizing shapes like that. No need for interval training, that just becomes a bit of theory.

Thanks for you comment. First of all let me premise that everybody would like to have the "perfect relative pitch", but perfect in practice doesn't exist. If I had started to hit random piano keys all at once, nobody with even great relative pitch skills would be able to make sense of what has been played (by ear alone) in a reasonable amount of time. That's because that wouldn't be music but random noise instead. The difference is that music as a structure (which is the tonality, or the musical key), it's indeed this structure that enables us to recognize music by ear. So if you wanna recognize music and become more musical, you should have a very specific goal (at least initially) internalizing the sound of each scale degree and each chord within the key. 3, 4, 6 or even 8-note phrases are not a problem if you are able to intutively recognize scale degrees. Same for sight singing skills. Music always has a tonality, so there always are scale degrees at any given time. This means that you don't need intervals at all to recognize the vast majority of musical genres out there. But there is even more, practicing intervals is actually counterproductive especially for beginner/intermediate students. I explain everything in this video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8iioMWKxq_NlI0.html please check it out as it's very important for anyone to understand this. Learning intervals as a beginner it's absolutely a BAD IDEA.

@@rvangaal thanks for your comment. You're right, I would just change a word from your comment. I think you wanted to say "better to learn the RELATIVE sound of each degree within the key you are playing in".

@@UseYourEar You're absolutely right, that was indeed was I was trying to say!

In realtà, in questo video, sconsiglio di usare app che suonano accordi random. Si è l'unico video in italiano.

Thanks for your comment. That usually happens because you don't have enough tonic retention skills, so your mind tends to lose the tonal center over time (especially if there are lots of chords going on). Check out this video where I talk more about that kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iraUepuWvLbThmg.html

Thank you!

Thank you. It won't look much different than this one. 😉

I think most of it’ll be till the 4th of these milestones..

Hi Kenneth, thanks for your comment. Yes, our method really works. We have more than 2000 students signed up to our paid course at the moment, and they all improve and develop ear training skills through this method. You can check out their reviews on our trustpilot page www.trustpilot.com/review/useyourear.com and also you can check out their improvements in recognizing chords and melodies by ear, etc. in these videos. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKdlibCXyZ_To3U.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndGphsiD07q8j2w.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdqfZpR-t7jXmp8.html

Hi, thanks for your comment. Also for sight singing my advice is to have very solid foundations on singing the scale, recognizing and recalling scale degrees, etc. before working on intervals. May I ask you wether you are a beginner or a more advanced musician? For beginner and intermediate musicians I would suggest to start sight-singing simple tonal music, without key changes and non-diatonic notes.

When you look at the music, do you know what note is Do, Re, Mi, etc?

@@codetech5598 I'm not sure this is a question for me. In any case, yes you can definitely visually see what is do, re, mi etc. and with proper training you can learn to recall each note with ease. Our course has many sight-singing exercises that only focus on learning to recall each scale degree.

@@UseYourEar I was responding to polarstar7626.

​@@codetech5598 look into shape note singing. The notes have different shapes depending on the scale degree

Hi, here is the link to the workshop www.useyourear.com/free-workshop-optin-organic I've just checked and it's also available in the video description.

If you have access to Units 0 & 1 of our course I don't think you need the workshop, the workshop is just an introduction on our method. Unit 0 & 1 have a lot more info, exercises, etc. I believe it's best for you to continue working on that.

@@UseYourEarThanks !
