Ear Training Lessons in Canton. Amazing Teachers.

I have attained an Associate's in Music Theory and Composition from OCC as a Summa Cum Laude, and have completed every Ear Training Course now as an undergraduate at Wayne State University. I have never received under an A in any of those classes. I teach voice, as well, and typically the ear training goes in tandem with that.

I teach to be able to hear something and duplicate it instantly on your instrument. I teach the fundamentals on how to go from relative pitch to perfect pitch.

I teach ear training using the movable doe solfege system. This system is what is used at most contemporary music schools. It is ideal for jazz, and pop as well as country and other similar styles. If you plan to attend a classical conservatory this will most likely not be the system used.

I studied solfeggio as a kid and in college. Can practice dictations, harmony exercises etc.
