Contextual Ear Training Memorizing Sound Through Singing
by Bruce Arnold
Contextual Ear Training takes the "one note" exercise found in Mr.
Arnold's popular book "Fanatic's
Guide to Sight Singing and Ear Training" and presents an exercise
that can be practiced anywhere that you can listen with a CD or MP3
player. With this portable audio exercise a student can practice
no matter how busy his or her schedule may be, thus accelerating
progress.
Mr. Arnold states. "I have found that students using "Contextual
Ear Training" audio files along with "Ear
Training One Note Complete" and/or "Fanatic's
Guide to Sight Reading and Ear Training" improve at a much faster
rate."
"Contextual Ear Training" contains four CDs that are available with
this book that really help a student to focus in on this technique in a
structured way. It also includes a music theory section and FAQ
sections. The music theory section explains why the knowledge of
music theory is integral to ear training. Please note that much of the
material from the first few chapters of Fanatic's Guide is included in
this book. If you already own "Fanatic's
Guide to Sight Singing and Ear Training," "Contextual Ear Training"
will help you to learn the "one note" exercises faster.
"Contextual Ear Training" is also a good place to start when educating
children in ear training. (recommended for children 7 years of age or
older) Please read Mr.
Arnold's blog entry to understand the process of teaching a child
and to find out more information on how the whole ear training process
works.
