Ear Coach

Ear Training is the most difficult aspect of Musical Education. Most educational systems do not pay enough attention to this essential part of Music. This method 'Ear Coach' has been developed very carefully in order to allow students to efficiently train their 'musical hearing' individually or in groups. Young students as well as adults will be able to use 'Ear Coach' to develop their skills in recognizing melodic lines, chords and rhythmical patterns. Not only students in schools and universities will be able to use this method: every beginning or advanced musician can use these exercises to obtain thorough basic knowledge of the music language. The author has intentionally chosen for essential exercises, played by different instruments to enhance the student's musical imagination. The complete set contains a CD with around 300 exercises in 58 MP3's, a set of worksheets and a seperate booklet with the solutions for self-correction.
