( i was told to stop with the extreme ear training as it was not helping and just leading to more frustration and that 2 or 3 20 minute sessions a day would be better. Most days its about 20-30 minutes a day but for several weeks i was ear training for anywhere up to 5 hours in a day. I've been working on ear training pretty much daily for the last 11 months since i restarted playing guitar after a 20 year break. (at least that's what i've been told is possible.) Ok so the goal is to be able to hear a melody or chord progression and be able to name/play the relative scale degrees or chord numbers without having to fish around for them on an instrument and find them by trial and error. The meat and potatoes kind of ear training. I'm looking to have daily 10 to 20 minute sessions, with or without the bass (without is even better), and I would like some "functional" ear training centered on melodies and harmonies and chord progressions. So I want to start ear training, and I need your advice. I throughly impressed by people capable to play things on the fly, identify tonality and chords in a matter of seconds. I have trouble transcribing melodies, and even more so when there are several instruments layering. I often have trouble identifying the tonality and especially the chords (I can for example identify a chord as minor instead of major, or take the fifth for the root). Well, I've been doing music rather seriously for 4 years now, and I hear and reproduce rhythm rather easily, I know basic music theory (chords, chord tones, scales, chromatisms) and can apply them when playing or composing. I hope you will find it useful.Hello, everyone, my name is Belzebass, and I have a problem with hearing notes and chords. I was so excited about this ear trainer that I have developed an Android app based on the Alain Benbassat method. The only requirement is to practice for 10 minutes a day. – what musical instrument you play (you don't even have to play one). – how old you are – a 3 yo kid or a 90+ adult – who you are – an absolute beginner in music or a virtuoso professional musician You begin to recognize the role (or function) of each tone in this key, which is incredibly similar to its role in other keys of the same scale.Īnd it is *guaranteed* anyone can gradually develop this skill. The main difference between the Functional Ear Trainer and other methods is that it teaches you to distinguish between tones in the context of a particular musical key. It is based on Alain's ear training method to learn to recognize tones. One day I came across Alain Benbassat's program called “Functional Ear Trainer” and have been using it ever since. Imagine you could understand music… It is like when somebody is talking to you, you not only hear pleasant sounds, but you recognize words and their meaning. However, although such programs develop your ear, but can you actually play any melody you hear as soon as you listen to it? Most likely you have already tried different programs to learn to recognize intervals or even to acquire perfect pitch. A good musical ear helps when you are composing, improvising, transcribing melodies, or playing with others. It is so important for a musician to know what you are hearing. Have you (or one of your friends) ever wanted to learn to transcribe or play music by ear? Ear training can be easy and fun! With a right approach.
