Ear Training 10

Ear Training 10 is structured as Ear Training 9, but with 2 voices.

 

You can choose to follow one voice or the other. Or you can imitate both simultaneously.

The theme is still functional pitch recognition. The 2 voices should be heard as scale degrees. It is secondary that the 2 voices also create an interval.

It starts off with ionian scale and add one chromatic scale degree at a time, ending up with ionian scale plus all the chromatic scale degrees. 

Index. 6 parts with 5 tracks each, consisting of:

Four tracks with two voices. Imitate.
Improvisation. Imitate in real time.

 

SING: Use Solmization (do, re, mi) Scale degree (1, 2, 3) or Notes (c, d, e).

PLAY: On your main instrument or piano.

Solmization:

Scale degree, ionian:
do (I)  re (II)  mi (III)  fa (IV)  so (V)  la (VI)  ti (VII)

Scale degree, chromatic:
di (#I)  ra (bII)  ri (#II)  me (bIII)  fi (#IV)  se (bV)  si (#V)  le (bVI)  li (#VI)  te (bVII)

Index. 6 parts with 6 tracks each, consisting of:

A four note sequence with three voices, ending up with a short improvisation.
