Welcome back, you know what time it is when you're back... Ear training time. Yay!!!
This week I talk your ear off about music theory. This is the longest episode to date, on account of my being so windy, but you have my word that I wont do it again. NEVER. That aside, this week we covered the chromatic solfege, and introduced two new types of scales, the harmonic minor, and the melodic minor. Yay for ear training! Yay for education!
As always, you can follow the links to this week's lesson guide.
