Ear Training for Musical Creativity – Improvise for Real

Ear Training for Musical Creativity

Imagine being able to listen to a song and recognize every note of the melody by ear. What would that do for your musical creativity and improvising? In this video course you will learn how to develop this ability, adding a whole new creative dimension to your improvising.

I believe that this course will be one of those “before and after” moments in your life, changing the way you think about music and opening many new doors for you creatively. Through step-by-step video lessons, audio tracks and creative exercises, you’ll learn to recognize the sounds in the music all around you and to play songs and melodies by ear.

Open to everyone – Beginners welcome!

Everyone can learn to understand music by ear. You just need an organized path and the right guidance. The key to success with ear training is to study the sounds in a musical context, taking advantage of your own natural ability to feel and enjoy music. You don’t need dry academic technical exercises. You just need the opportunity to get to know each sound of our musical system for yourself and discover its unique beauty. This is exactly what we do in this video course.

Immediate benefits to your playing:

• Recognize melodies by ear and play them in any key on your instrument without having to fumble for the notes.
• Play along with friends at parties and jam sessions and find the notes of any song on your instrument.
• Play directly from your musical imagination when you are improvising, expressing the sounds you hear in your mind.
• Learn to orient yourself by ear in the key of the music when you are jamming with other musicians.
• Engage in a true dialogue with other soloists, responding to their musical ideas and interacting musically with them.

How is this course different from other ear training programs?

Experiencing the sounds as music. Every step of the way, you’ll be hearing the sounds in the context of beautiful songs and melodies. So the connection to real music is very present right from the start. This is one of the biggest complaints that musicians have about other ear training programs. They get better at identifying random intervals in the context of a quiz, but they still can’t recognize anything in the songs they hear on the radio. So we think it’s very important to study and appreciate the beauty of the sounds every step of the way, and that means hearing all of the sounds in the context of actual music.

Using your own natural ability. It’s not about developing “perfect pitch” or any other unusual ability. This is something everyone can do. If I were to sing the melody to your favorite song, you would recognize that melody right away. And if I were to sing a wrong note somewhere in that melody, you would recognize that too. What this means is that you already feel the difference between all of the different notes of our musical system. You just don’t know which sound is which. All you need is an organized path that lets you clarify these sensations one by one so that you finally understand which note of our musical system produces each of those beautiful sensations that you already know and love.

Jamming with the sounds. In addition to the singing and listening exercises, you’ll also be improvising with the same sounds on your instrument over backing tracks that I will give you. This creative jamming with the sounds is essential because it allows you to explore the sounds on your own, combining them into melodies and expressing your own musical ideas with them. This will give you the same mastery of music that you have with your own spoken language, which you can both speak and understand effortlessly.
