INTRODUCTION TO EAR TRAINING
WHAT IS EAR TRAINING? Ear training or aural skills is a skill by which musicians learn to identify, solely by hearing, pitches , intervals , melody , chords , rhythms , and other basic elements of music . The application of this skill is analogous to taking dictation in written/spoken language. As a process, ear training is in essence the inverse of sight-singing , the latter being analogous to reading a written text aloud without prior opportunity to review the material. Ear training is typically a component of formal musical training.
