Customer Reviews

If you don't have a professional coach then try this
If you've ever wanted to teach yourself to recognize particular notes and patterns this book is an excellent resource. The authors examine things like the major and minor scales, fifths, sevenths, melodies, sightsinging, triads, and diatonic progressions. They also do an excellent job of describing what is happening, the theory behind it and how to use it to help train your ears to recognize the notes, progressions, etc. The book includes exercises, answer sheets, and two CDs with examples of the various notes and tones from the book so you can practice. If you are serious about ear training you can't go wrong with Ear Training For the Contemporary Musician.

This is a Complete Guide
Keith Wyatt does a great job of explaining and demonstrating the fundamentals for ear training. He makes no claim to a quick and easy way to accomplish your goals with this. He does give a concise method on how to get the most out of what abilities you do have --whether you have tremondous talent or no natural ability -- I belive you can train your ear with a commitment to his study and practice methods. I am not far along with this and I do not sing but I can now hit notes with my voice and recognize them. Something I could not do before I got this study and I am applying it to my guitar and piano playing. I recommend the book to anyone that is willing to adhere to a schedule and not to someone looking for magic dust.
