EAR TRAINER APP HOW TO

One day I came across Alain Benbassat's program called 'Functional Ear Trainer' and have been using it ever since. 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.

EAR TRAINER APP HOW TO

So when the OP asked about ear training I did not know wether it was about learning how to sing or indeed how to put ear training into practice (vocally or instrumentally). That is what I meant when I said that ear training will not help you to sing. is the mechanical side to put out what you have in your head. Because just as you can only play on an instrument what you hear (in your head), you can only sing (your voice being your instrument) what you hear in your head.Įspecially when you try to sing harmony identifying a harmony note (harmony line) needs ear training as mentioned above. Indeed it is about note recognition (wether notes, intervals, chords etc.). Maybe it would have been useful for my mandolin and guitar playing to have that training, but the one instrument I really regret never studying is the piano.Yes, the tonedear thingy does what my Salzburg link teaches you. Maybe it would have been useful for my mandolin and guitar playing to have that training, but the one instrument I really regret never studying is the piano. Not even F, which is from an actual song, Zambezi, two parts of which (the most characteristic ones) I recently transcribed from memory.ī is one of many parts from Fiddler's Waltz by Benny Martin - the easiest one to transcribe, yet I haven't the slightest idea (and never had) how to train my voice to sing it. Of these examples only G (Lonesome Moonlight Waltz) is within reach (or used to be, I no longer sing). I don't have a very great ear, but there's lots of stuff that I've learned by ear, on the whole scale from 'laboriously' to 'in real time', without being able to reproduce them on that particular instrument. To my mind vocal training is something else altogether, training your vocal cords to remember pitches, finding the correct muscular tension to produce what you 'hear' in your mind. When you do that and you'll find out that you are hitting the notes well/better/great, you'll have made the first step of ear training.įirst step? Ear training? I thought 'ear training' was about aural recognition as in these exercises: I think that for that a vocal coach that knows his craft ist unavoidable. What you'd want to do is to hit the singing notes correctly.

It of course helps on all other musical levels. Depending on what you'd like to achieve, ear training is mostly directed at the effort to sing properly.
