Ear Training Lessons in Green Cove Springs. Amazing Teachers.

My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played many different instruments in many different kinds of bands. It all one major thing in common, it was FUN! If you are not having fun while learning an instrument you won't want to learn. Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. I have had many parents tell me I'm one of the best teachers they have ever seen. (A couple of them were public school teachers themselves). I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!

Ear Training is my bread and butter; I can help it come naturally to you as well!

Many people want to be able to play their musical instrument by ear training. An important part of ear training is learning the intervals (musical distance) between notes you hear. This is something that got touched on when I was a music major in school & college. I taught myself intervals related to common songs I've heard. By applying this knowledge to the guitar, my fingers will automatically go to the right notes I am "hearing in my head" without really thinking about it...it bypasses my intellect. This can really help decide which position to play a certain musical phrase on a guitar, for example.

On an intermediate level, I can train your ear to tell the difference between major chords, minor chords & more complex chords. I can show you how to find the first note or chord of a song. Then you can learn how to tell what the next chords are in a song, based on its relationship with the first chord.
Also whether your instrument is in tune with other instruments or ...

As we all know, ear training can be tough. Throughout our lessons, we will utilize a variety of techniques to get the student to a comfortable level. As an MTAC instructor who has been preparing students for the Certificate of Merit exams for over a decade, I have developed various methods and approaches to helping students conquer ear training.

Consists of learning to sight read, hearing intervals, melodic dictation, rhythmic dictation, and harmonic dictation. Students will learn to hear melodies, harmonies, chords, and rhythms then write them down without the help of the piano. Students will be able to read music without the help of any musical instrument. Specially helpful for those students hoping to go to college for music as it is a required class in order to graduate.
