Relative Pitch Ear Training

If you want a truly GREAT ear for music, then check out the Relative Pitch Ear Training SuperCourse, by David Lucas Burge. I've found it to be the most effective way ever to develop Relative Pitch. You'll learn to recognize intervals and chords at lightning speed.

Ear training is required in every college music program. It's essential. But in college courses, the instructor must teach you a certain amount of material over a given span of time. It's too easy to fall behind and become lost. Students often refer to it anxiously as FEAR training, not EAR training.

Ear Training is a lot like math. You have to know your basic addition and subtraction before you try algebra. The great thing about Burge's course is he starts you out from scratch and then moves you through it step by step. You go at your own pace. And you move to the next lesson only when you've passed the lesson you're on. He'll drill you up and down, left and right, backwards and forwards on all your chords and intervals, so that by the end of the 41 lessons, you'll know what you hear -- which is the goal of ear training.

I wish I would have had this before my ear training classes in college. I would've sailed through instead of having nightmares over them.

Burge is now THE ear training coach, also known for his classic Perfect Pitch Ear Training course.
