| ear training exercises for piano: Hearing and Writing Music Ron Gorow, 2011-03-15 A self-training manual as well as a classroom text, this book is a complete step-by-step course to develop the musician's ability to hear and notate any style of music. Personal training, thoery and exercises produce techniques which are combined in an integrated craft which may be applied to composition, orchestration, arranging, improvisation and performance. A kind of finishing school for those who wish to pursue a career in composing, orchestrating, arranging or performing. -- The Score, Society of Composers and Lyricists A myriad of practical information. Comprehensive ear training, important because aural skills are among the most overlooked in music education. -- Survey of New Teaching Materials, Jazz Educators journal A synthesis of the author's vast knowledge and his quest to define the question, How do we hear? -- ITG Journal A wonderfully systematic approach to ear training . . . neatly designed and structured, it just flows. Direct and easily understood. -- New books, Jazz Educators Journal Bernard Brandt says: Hearing and Writing Music, by Ron Gorow, is a superb book. It makes a simple and elegant presentation of the internal process by which we hear sounds and music, how we recognize intervals, chords, melody, harmony, counterpoint, and the timbre of instrumentation/ orchestration, how we can develop the skills of listening, auditory memory and imagination, and how to use these skills to hear and to write down music of any sort. The hallmark of an expert is the ability to explain the basics of his field as simply as possible. By that standard, Mr. Gorow has proven his expertise in this book. I note that the other reviews, both for Amazon and in musical journals, tend to limit the importance of Hearing and Writing Music to ear training. I believe that Mr. Gorow's book is valuable for much more than ear training. I have studied it, and as a result of that study, I believe that my auditory memory and imagination and my abilities in score reading have improved enormously. Further, I have been able to use the skills in this book to transcribe melodies, harmonies and counterpoint almost effortlessly, both those that I have heard, and those which existed only in my imagination. This book has opened many doors for me. I believe that it can do so for many others. |

| ear training exercises for piano: Contextual Ear Training Bruce Arnold, 2007 This book comes with no CDs. You will need four CDs to work with this book. These CDs can be bought separately or you may download MP3 files from various on-line vendors. Contextual Ear Training is a major expansion of the One Note exercise from the Fanatic's Guide to Sight Singing and Ear Training. Much of the material from the first few chapters of Fanatic's Guide is included in this book. This is because some students may be purchasing this book and not the Fanatic's Guide. It's recommend that you first work with the Fanatic's Guide before using this book, although you can certainly work with both simulta-neously, to good effect. For some students working without the Fanatic's Guide may be fine but Contextual Ear Training assumes you have a fair degree of proficiency with the One Note exercise in Fanatic's Guide. So to reiterate, if you find this book and associated CD too hard it would be suggest that first work with the Fanatic's Guide. Although the One Note exercise is just the first exercise in Fanatic's Guide it's really the key to the whole methodology. Many students can easily sing through all exercises in the Fanatic's Guide once they have mastered the One Note exercise. However, It would still recommend getting the Fanatic's Guide because cases have be seen where a person has mastered the One Note technique but still has problems with the other Fanatic's Guide exercises, so it's prudent to make sure you are not one of those people. If you are new to this Ear Training Series its also recommend that you work with Ear Training One Note Complete book as a companion to this method. The One Note exercise is an extremely good exercise and thefour CDs that are available separately from this book really help a student to focus in on this technique in a structured way. Contextual Ear Training includes a music theory section and FAQ sec |
