Ear Training, Revised [Spiral bound]

Combining a proven technique with an effective and easy-to-use supplements package,Ear Training: A Technique for Listeningis the ideal text for college aural skills courses. Its logical progression in the coverage of skills enables students to build gradually to full proficiency, while ensuring that material they learn early in the course remains fresh. Its flexibility makes it equally effective in a lab-based course, in a instructor-guided setting, or in a course that combines the two.

For the revised edition, the online site developed in conjunction withEar Training: A Technique for Listeninghas been totally revised to provide a reliable and user-friendly environment for drill and practice of the skills developed in the text. Activities such as melodic dictation, interval detection, chord quality identification, and rhythmic error detection mirror similar exercises in the text and serve to reinforce a broad range of aural skills.
