Ear Training Blueprint 4 Easy Steps for Training Your Ears
this guide. My goal in creating this is to give you a clear view
of what it is you should work on with ear training. I want
to help you develop the ears you need to become the best
musician you can be.
In case you don’t know me, my name is Frazer Goodman
For years I’ve been getting emails from my subscribers asking me an
assortment of related questions:
How do I learn songs by ear?
How do I learn solos by ear?
How do I become a better improviser?
How do I play the music that I hear in my head?
When it comes down to it, all of these questions can be
summed up with the desire to know
how to play what you
hear.
Throughout my research, I have become convinced that the
fundamentals of ear training are pivotal for playing what
you hear.
There are many things you can do to develop your
ears, but when you boil it down, the fundamentals of ear
training are the kind of infrastructure we need for a strong
foundation
The Ultimate Ear Training Blueprint
So it’s unanimous.
Ear training is so important that 1-10 apparently isn’t a good enough scale to rate it on!
Let me reinforce this again- the fundamentals of ear training
are critical if you want to be able to play what you hear.
No matter what style of music you play, whether you play
rock, pop, latin, folk, hip-hop, or jazz like me, we all want to
play the music we hear in our heads.
We want to be able to hear songs and immediately know
what the chords are- no sheet music needed.
We want to be able to hear a solo or lick we like off of
a recording and translate it to our instrument almost
instantaneously.
We want to be able to hear a chord and know whether there
is a #9, b13, or 11th in it.
Having great ears= musical freedom.
That’s what this is all about: having the freedom to express
anything you want to musically. Having great ears separates
the amateurs from the experts.
This is where ear training comes in.
Because this doesn’t just happen automatically as you probably already know. It
takes practice!
We need to train our ears towards the musical freedom we deserve.
The question I get time and time again is, how do I go about
doing this?
What exactly do I need to be working on?
It’s not a question of whether you should be doing ear training
or not. It’s a question of how to do it in an organized way that
will actually produce results.
What has worked for me and many others is breaking ear
training down into important categories. Want to get on solid
footing and propel your ears to the next level?
Follow the 4 Steps for How to Play What You Hear.
These four steps build off of each other. If you have the first step
down, the second step will be that much easier. Let’s jump in
What many ear training apps and courses fail to do is
incorporate singing.
Now, if you consider yourself a bad singer,
don’t worry!
Humming or whistling achieves the same thing.
Any noise, really.
The point is you are the one producing it.
Recognition is great. You hear an interval or chord and can
identify it by name. But it’s an entirely different level to hear
a reference note and be able to sing the interval or chord
required.
As I said earlier, being able to sing proves that you can
reproduce the pitch for yourself. It takes the ear training to the
next level
Now, obviously, all of this stuff is easier said than done.
It takes real training to accomplish the 4 steps and level-up our ears.
Be sure to follow along with free video training series that
accompanies this blueprint, and I’ll be giving you much more
information and detail on how to accomplish these things.
If you want to really put these 4 steps into action, our ear
training course
How to Play What You Hear walks you through
this process step-by-step, with plenty of quizzes, training
materials, and video lectures to help you succeed.
