Ear Training

A good ear is the key to success!

This lesson looks at online resources for training your musical ear. Very few people have perfect pitch, very few people are actually tone deaf. There is, therefore, a good chance that you fall somewhere in the middle of the tonal awareness spectrum.

So the good news is that your hearing is something you can develop. It has been proven that just 10 minutes dedicated practice every day can drastically improve your listening skills.

Introduction to tuning

This is very important! A guitar that is in good tuning will make the difference between you and other people enjoying your guitar playing.
