Contextual Ear Training Memorizing Sound Through
Singing
Book and 4 CDs in MP3 format.
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.
As with all Muse Eek Publishing Ear Training Books there are
editions
that contain CDs and some that don't. Please make sure to
check
before
ordering. Most descriptions will plainly show whether the
CDs
come
with the book. The four CDs for this book can also be found
in
MP3
format from various on-line vendors. Please check muse-eek for
recommended vendors.
