Video description

This ear training course covers the basics of pitch, rhythm & counting, scales, chords, chord progression and melody. Beginners will find it eases them into the deeper musicianship of knowing what they’re hearing. The more advanced will find it reinforces what they already can hear and will likely stretch their ears with some of the more complex chord progressions. The confidence gained is of great value to players, songwriters, audio engineers, DJ’s, composers and producers. Ideally this course will be used alongside the book - It’s Music, Not Theory, Damn It! - And when your friends ask you what, exactly, you’re training your ears to do, tell them: to fly.
