Ear Training Course Roadmap


All the greatest musicians in the world trained their ears the most by figuring out music by ear. All these courses are focused on exactly that. ‘Make Your Ears Awesome Kick-Starter’ is focused on the skill of hearing a note and finding it on the fretboard. The course has note-by-note instructions to keep things as simple as possible. Next, you can either practice figuring out melodies by ear (the left track) or chord progressions (the track on the right). I'd recommend starting with melodies, as chord progressions can be a bit more challenging.
