Ear Training Lessons in Chino. Amazing Teachers.

As we all know, ear training can be tough. Being very experienced in this area, I will do my best to help the student and will teach specific techniques which will make the subject a lot easier.

I started off playing piano by ear and then found out that I have perfect pitch. I am also really good at memorizing music and could help students break music down into memorable moments so that things are easier for them. I also train students to know the difference between notes and intervals. I also see color in my mind when I hear notes, so the visual aspect is something we could also take a look at in lessons.

Learn to recognize and identify diffrent intervals, scales, modes, Major, minor and dominate chords!

I have been teaching this subject for over 17 years. There is no specific curriculum as each student will come to lessons with their own unique skills, needs, and goals. Lessons are tailored to those specifics. Lessons involve building aural skills including interval and chord (triads and 7ths) identification, harmonic and melodic dictation, sight singing, and other exercises. Lessons are particularly useful in augmenting classroom study and performance projects.

I had a pretty serious obsession with ear training in High School, and I was assistant teaching ear training in 2009 while I was still in college, but my real education in this topic began when I started to freelance. When I started transcribing pieces of music that students would bring and music that I had an interest in but was outside of my training. I learned how to use the fundamentals and eventually bend them to understand music from the ground up in any style. My teaching approach blends Western Solfegge, Indian Classical Sargam and Just Intonation...though I'm happy to just cut the big words and sing with you if that's what you're into.

Learning to play by ear can be the most exciting way to learn to play music. In fact, many of your idols did not have the technology that we have today and had only their ear to guide them along. I feel that they did it best. Who wouldn't want to play along with their favorite artist. Whether it's Hendrix, Metallica, or 5 Seconds of Summer, I would love to help you figure it out.
