Part 6/7:
Developing a keen sense of pitch is essential for any musician. Ear training focuses on relative pitch, which is the ability to identify intervals based on a reference tone. This skill can be cultivated to the point where it rivals perfect pitch, allowing musicians to recognize melodies and chord progressions with accuracy.
Practicing specific intervals consistently is key. By training daily on triads and varied chord types, musicians can develop their auditory recognition skills and musical vocabulary.
