Meant for the serious-minded musician. Ear Training is a comprehensive three volume, 11-CD* course authored by renowned music educator Elvo S. D’Amante to train you to hear, identify, play and sing scales, modes, intervals, and chords. This study provides the foundation for excellence in music performance, insights into improvisation, and an understanding of melodic and harmonic concepts. It is the optimum study for enhancing one’s ear. Musicianship is directly-related to one’s ability to hear and capture the essence of melodic and/or harmonic invention.
Great for any musician or singer. You’ll begin to hear, perform, and sing music in a new and deeper way. D’Amante begins each chapter by carefully defining and explaining every scale, interval, or chord covered in the exercises. The CDs then present audio exercises which drill the student on each concept of the text lesson. Answers are given on the CD or in the book for immediate feedback and evaluation of what needs work. Isn’t it time you trained your ears?
* We’re currently in the process of making the audio downloadable for those who no longer use compact discs.
