Ear Training in NYC
Ear training is an important component for any rising musician. Just as we learn to read music, hearing it is by all means a necessary factor.
This is analogous to writing a spoken passage - only the words are replaced by actual music. Of course, music tends to be much more
complex than words, so a proper introduction to ear training is required. Musical analysis consists of identifying the rhythm and pitch structures
for any given music material. In contrast to visualizing the music, one relies solely on his/her ears to help themselves write the music down. This is when the word 'dictation' comes into
play.
Our music teachers will prepare your child for any entrance examinations containing dictation and ear training skills. Each music teacher possesses excellent training books
that perfectly satisfy the required exam content.
Ear Training includes:
• pitches
• intervals
• melodies
• chord & their functions
• rhythm structures
• pitch structures
• melodic dictations
• harmonic dictations
• identifying rests
• reading non-traditional clefs
• solfege content
• key patterns
• harmony shifts & functionality
• understanding tonalities & tonal center
• modulations
Our Ear Training rates are $100/hour. If you want Ear Training as part of your regular weekly lessons, fees will be slightly different. See our current
