Real Easy Ear Training Book

Using musical examples that reflect all contemporary genres (pop, rock, Latin, fusion, jazz, etc.), emphasis is placed on making ear training real, as Prof. Radley shows how to apply the harmonic ear training studies in the book to your own musical needs. Step by step, you will learn how to: hear the bass line (the harmony's foundation) in the major key - gradually add major and minor diatonic triads - investigate how the melody provides harmonic clues for determining the chord changes - continue with seventh chord recognition - explore minor key harmony - and conclude with hearing some common non-diatonic chord patterns. You will immediately begin recognizing popular chord patterns by: using practice routines based on hundreds of dictation and transcription exercises - playing, singing, memorizing and transposing the chord progressions of songs - composing and arranging your own music based on familiar chord patterns given in the book. Additionally, more than 150 songs are referenced throughout the book for real practice! --Publisher description.
