What is Practice Perfect ?

The Practice Perfect series of books provides multiple ways for a musician to hone their ear training skills through exercises that teach using real time application within a music environment. That is, these exercises place a musician in a real live music situation simulating the contexts most associated with performance. Two different types of exercises are included: Real music is played in the background as you are prompted to sing a specific pitch in the key center. You then hear the correct pitch sung by a soprano, alto or tenor voice. You hear a note sung by either a soprano, alto or tenor voice as the real music is played. You are given a few seconds to identify that note, then the correct note is spoken. There are three levels each giving you more notes to guess throughout the track.

Practice Perfect Applied Ear Training Volume One Improves Your Musicianship

Volume One of the Practice Perfect Applied Ear Training is a collection of 12 different audio tracks where you are prompted to sing a specific degree in the key center. There is also 13 tracks where you hear a note and have to guess what that note is as real music is played. The tracks have the following characteristics: All Movie Score Ear Training Exercises are in minor key centers though they may morph between different types of minor or even diminished at certain times Most Movie Score Ear Training Exercises are meant for a beginner who is having troubles hearing in a minor key center. Though there are a few tracks that are more for an intermediate to advanced student. See examples below: Most of these Movie Score Ear Training Exercises are around 2-3 minutes in length Each Movie Score Ear Training Track has three different audio files. These tracks use either a soprano, alto or tenor voice which sings the answer. Most of these Movie Score Ear Training Exercises are over a single harmony with a few exceptions. Some tracks have moving melodic lines which are usually more difficult for beginners but are excellent for intermediate to advance ear training students. All tracks are stylistically related to movie sound tracks with the vibe of action or suspense.

What people are saying:

I love the whole idea of the Practice Perfect series. It only makes sense to practice ear training and other techniques in a applied environment. It is also a heck of a lot more fun! C. Wayne I'm a person that absolutely hates rote exercises so this Practice Perfect series is "Perfect" for me. I can play my guitar and develop aural skills all at the same time. D. Gau I've been using many of Muse-eek's Direct Application books. This Practice Perfect series seems like a natural outgrowth of that concept. Keep em coming! T. Mann I like this Volume One of this series because it concentrates on Minorish key centers something that I'm inherently weak at. Y. Cervanka Read the full article
