Two Note Melodic in a Major Key
by Bruce Arnold
This page contains downloads for 7 different
instruments. If you would prefer to purchase a bundle of
all seven instruments please see: Two
Note Melodic Bundle. All of these downloads are
recommended if
you are getting 80% correct using the Advanced examples from the
"Ear
Training One Note Complete Book."
The Two Note Melodic exercise contains a major cadence on piano
followed by two consecutive pitches played by one of the seven
instruments listed below. Then after a pause you will hear
the note names of the two notes. This melodic series with
different instruments is graduated in its level of
difficulty. As the level gets more difficult, you
will be asked to recognize and respond as both the cadence and
the two notes are played more quickly. Below is the order
of levels from the least difficult to most difficult.
Tenor Sax
Jazz Guitar
Alto Sax
Trombone
Trumpet
Muted Trumpet
Acoustic Bass
Each download contains 600 MP3s which cover all melodic
possibilities within two octaves both ascending and
descending. These files differ from the 2 Note Melodic for
Piano download in that the 2 Note Melodic for Piano only has
melodic combinations within one octave. All seven of these
downloads as previously mentioned, cover all melodic
possibilities within two octaves both ascending and descending.
Since these seven downloads get progressively harder it is
recommended that you start with the Tenor Sax and work your way
up to Acoustic Bass. If you prefer you can also download
all 7 instruments as part of a 2 Note Melodic Bundle.
The sound of an instrument can frequently affect a person's
ability to hear melodies within a key center. This is
caused by our propensity to learn things contextually. In
other words, when the instrument -or timbre- changes, our
ability to identify pitches within a key center can also be
affected. This will vary from one person to the next.
Please use the examples found on this page to gauge if you need
to work with these downloads. We recommend that you work
with at least one instrument.
These 2 Note Melodic Ear Training downloads
do not contain a book. You should work first work with the"Ear
Training One Note Complete Book" so that you can
fully understand this ear training method before attempting the
Two Note Series. You will use the same technique as you
did with the "Ear
Training One Note as you
identify the sound of each pitch within the key center.
