Ear Training For The Contemporary Musician

Ear Training For The Contemporary MusicianEvery musician knows someone who seems to have a knack for 'plucking' music out of the air and playing it effortlessly, someone who can play a melody from memory, who can compose and write down a song without checking a single note, or who can conjure up fresh solos night after night. Such a person can recall musical patterns, interpret them and play them, apparently without delay between thought and execution. While this proficiency is often called a 'gift' or 'talent', it is based on concrete skills that can, in principle, be learned. The skill in which everything a musician needs – technique, intelligence and creativity – comes together, is ear training.
