Sharpen Your Ears: Advanced Aural Skills Training with a Pitch Expert
My Aural Skills/Ear Training lessons provide a unique advantage to students looking to enhance their musical ear and overall musicianship. With natural relative pitch, I can discern and replicate tunes by ear across various instruments, a skill I bring directly to my teaching. This ability not only enhances my approach but also offers students practical, real-world applications of aural skills.
Aural skills are crucial for any successful musician. They enable you to identify pitches, intervals, melody, rhythms, and chords merely by listening, which is essential for improvisation, composition, and ensemble work. These skills transform good performers into exceptional musicians who can react intuitively to music around them, adapt quickly to new compositions, and perform more expressively.
In my lessons, I leverage my strong relative pitch to help students develop their ear, teaching them how to recognize and use musical elements effectively. We’ll cover everything from basic pitch recognition to complex harmonic progressions and rhythmic patterns, integrating these skills into your playing or singing. My teaching approach is personalized, adapting to each student’s level and goals. I use a variety of techniques that cater to different learning styles, making lessons engaging and productive.
Moreover, I emphasize the importance of aural skills in achieving musical independence and confidence. Being able to hear and understand music deeply enhances one’s ability to learn new pieces more swiftly, join in jams seamlessly, and create music spontaneously. My goal is to not only teach you how to develop these skills but also to show you how to apply them practically, enhancing your enjoyment and success in music.
Whether you are a beginner eager to get the basics down or an advanced musician looking to refine your aural abilities, my lessons offer a pathway to significant improvement, making music more enjoyable and your performances more impressive and fulfilling.

Acerca de Lathan B.
5.0
(1)
I started playing piano at age 7 and ukulele at 9, and clarinet at the age of 11. I consecutively made county and district honor bands from the 7th grade until 12th grade, attended NC Governor's School West in 2017 for instrumental music, and received a full scholarship to Cannon Music Camp at Appalachian State in 2016. In 2018, I received the John Philips Sousa award for superior musicianship and received a $10,000 scholarship to study music at UNC-Charlotte. I studied Music Education on clarinet at Appalachian State University for two years, where I played mellophone with the Marching Mountaineers. Although I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity, my passion for music persisted. My experience spans multiple instruments and ensemble types, enhancing my teaching with a deep understanding of music theory. I aim to inspire students of all ages with a patient and humorous teaching style.
