Covers both beginning and intermediate ear training exercises.
Step by step, you will learn how to:
- hear the bass line (the harmony's foundation) in the major key
- gradually add major and minor diatonic triads, and on to seventh chords
- investigate how melody provides harmonic clues to determine chord changes explore minor key harmony
- and conclude with hearing some common non-diatonic chord patterns.
You will immediately begin recognizing popular chord patterns by:
- using practice routines based on hundreds of dictation and transcription exercises
