Welcome, this blog is the companion to the Ear Trainer podcast avalible soon on iTunes. Visit this blog for additional matrials to supplement the Ear Trainer ear training program.
Dear Sir, I recently came across your podcast and would like to thank you for your first lesson. I have been a guitarist for years and learned piano, which is theory intense when I was much younger, your definitions are very clear and concise. I also like the order your presenting this rather complex informatio. My goal is to play any song I hear and eventually receate songs in the style of my favorites by reverse endineering. Presently my program is 30 min of eartraining, 30 min of a song slowly played, 30 min application (ie.e scales, chords ,etc. along the fretboard using the caged system, and the 16th notealphabet and the triplet alphabet. I believe this is doable and will bring to my goals that of being to play for an audience quickly and competently. Music is such a far-reaching subject that we all have to break it into smaller pieces. I compare it to a wheel. If Music is the hub than the spokes are theory, eartrainer, understanding song, etc. It doesn't matter which spoke you take as long as it works. if you wish to comment please contact me at ericfoster007@gmail.com. Respecfully Eric Foster
it's great to hear that you've got a practice program underway. If you stick to your guns I am sure you'll be seeing the results in no time. the only advise I could offer is to make sure you have a teacher you enjoy studying with, and make sure you play with other people as much as possible. Music is a social thing, and you learn so much just by being around other people who make music.
I hope you keep up the eartraining, because as you say, music is like a wheel, it has many facets. If you align one spoke, the rest spin more smoothly as well!
Awesome!
