Ear training

A trained ear is a key skill for any pianist. Regular practice helps you recognize intervals, chords and progressions on the fly.

How to train your ear effectively
  • Start with intervals — everything else builds on them.
  • Sing back what you hear; it trains your ear much faster.
  • Get major vs minor solid before moving on to seventh chords.
  • Ten focused minutes a day beat an hour once a week.
