Synopsis

Intended for classroom instruction and combining a proven technique with an effective and easy-to-use supplements package, "Ear Training: A Technique for Listening" is the ideal text for college aural skills courses. Students find that the logical progression of skills enables them to build gradually to full proficiency, while ensuring that material they learn early in the course remains fresh. Instructors appreciate the flexibility of the "EarTraining" package, which allows the text to be used in a lab-based course, in a instructor-guided setting, or in a course that combines the two. The structure of the text also allows students to proceed at their own pace through the material - lingering on sections that prove difficult or advancing through sections that come easily.

Synopsis:

This work seeks to offer a flexibly organized text with drill and practice exercises. A transcription tape is included to give students a chance to hone their aural skills away from class as they attempt to hear melody, harmony and rhythm, and notate them accurately.
