Beginning Ear Training – Berklee Guide | Play by Ear and Improve Musical Memory | Ear Training Exercises for All Instruments | Includes Online Audio with Solfege Practice

I've been using this with my adult students who are interested in learning more ear training and developing that skill even further. It has a bunch of great exercises for rhythmic dictation and melodic dictation. This is a great introduction for that.

I have yet to finish this book, but I love it!It is a very incremental method - you start with do, re, and mi. Each chapter introduces one new solfege syllable and new rhythms. I also love that it features a full answer key. This feature make this an ideal book for self-study (which I do a lot). I have a lot of confidence that, by the time I finish this book, I will have the foundation necessary for delving into ear training at it's best!

The book is great!It breaks ear training down into two basically singing and dictation and slowly hits you with more and more of the major scale. There are a lots of examples as the difficulty builds. You could easily come up with more examples too if want to for each category as the exercises aren't that complicated.Definitely has helped my ear out and made transcribing easier!

A good, basic, approach to the Berklee ear training method that helps developing your inner ear. It is really a first step, you will need other books to reach an advanced level.

For those who have no ear training, this book is for you, however, do note, this is really for voice but it will teach you to sing with your instrument.

As always Berklee Press have great books whose methods I can study by my self.

very basic, it gives you a tiny bit of ........... . not worth the money, better to look elsewhere.

First of all, I am from Brazil and I would like to say that this product was delivered in the correct time in excellent condition including the CD.The book has a very good and simple format as well as the linguistic atending its purpose very well.

muy bueno material para empezar

Tough but enjoyable. This book is helping me to get to grips with this massively important area of music. arrived prokptly

This is book is for music students who already have some concept of the ideas being practiced in this book.I think someone just coming across this book might be a bit confused with what to do with it, but it is an exercise book for musicians, after all.It really only deals with pitch and rhythm, and not really with other musical concepts, but that's sort of the point of this book, to focus on and develop those skills, at an introductory level.As an exercise book, it is pretty effective and progressive. It's often hard to practice these concepts on your own, without a teacher, or friend to play something simple enough for a beginner to process. This book really allows a student to practice on their own, and make steady progress on their ear identification, and sight singing skills.I like it's clean and simple presentation, but some might find it confusing, or find they don't know where to apply these skills. But as a resource for a teacher with a student, it is very useful.

OK i like this special book very much and this book is what i dreaming of.thank youvery much for your

日本語版も発売されてますが、大した英語が書かれてるわけでもないです。CDを聴いて音を採譜するというエクササイズがメインなので、安い英語版のほうがおすすめです。ただ、CDの音があまり良くない。ピアノで弾かれたメロディと採譜するのですが、その演奏の前にその調の和音などを弾いてくれます。この音がひどく割れてます。メロディライン自体は問題ないのですが、少し気になります。
