Charlie Barnett | Ear Training Exercises: Developing Listening Skills

Ear training is an essential skill for musicians, enabling them to recognize pitches, intervals, and melodies by ear. Engage beginners in ear training exercises that develop their listening skills and musical perception. Start with simple activities like “Guess the Sound,” where students listen to different musical excerpts and identify specific instruments or musical elements. You can also play “Melodic Dictation,” where students listen to short melodies and notate them on paper.
