10 Mar 00 - 01:54 PM (#193131) Subject: RE: Help: ear training From: Uncle_DaveO I am just beginning an ear-training course, part of The David L. Burge Ear-Training Library. I am impressed so far. It is in about 16 tapes or some comparable number of CDs. I am taking their Relative Pitch Course, and my wife, a professional classical pianist, is deeper into taking their Perfect Pitch course. She is extremely impressed. It's published by American Educational Music Publications, Music Resources Building, 1106 East Burlington Avenue, Fairfield IA 52556. (515) 472 3100. They have a website, but I can't find the URL. You should be able to finding it using your search engine(s). Dave Oesterreich |

10 Mar 00 - 07:17 PM (#193258) Subject: RE: Help: ear training From: Crowhugger Noel, Definitely go for the relative pitch training. As long as there are tuning forks and pitch pipes, never mind those newfangled electronic gizmos, having perfect pitch is mostly a matter of bragging rights. Having perfect pitch can bother some people when they hear things played in a key other than it was written. My friend's son has perfect pitch, but poor soul has to leave the room when someone uses a capo to put it into their vocal range. First rule of ear training: sing, sing, sing, sing and then sing some more. You'll also learn a lot by transposing for example on guitar. It's about the relationships between sounds. Did I mention you should sing? A LOT. Listen for tunes that have bits that sound similar. And take a course if you have the time, money and inclination. It'll speed things up tremendously. And sing. |

Seem interesting. A search of the words 'ear training' in Altavista will open many other places which may be interesting for you and us all. Un abrazo - Andrés |
