How to practice ear training? What are the tips?

Ear training is auditory training, usually to listen to the sound played on the piano, training children to distinguish intervals, chords, rhythms by hearing, to be able to hear the sound or music called the staff accurately recorded, but also to be able to listen to chords, analyze the nature and function of the strings, and be able to construct intervals and chords accordingly. Auditory training also includes the ability to discriminate timbres. Various instruments have different timbres, and the same instrument has different timbres.

The music played by the band also has a mixture of various instruments, and the timbre is ever-changing, which can be distinguished by training.

Ear training is a skill that must be mastered in learning, whether it is vocal music or instrumental music, it is indispensable to improve the quality of the first.

Ear training is a very practical and necessary basic skill in the learning process.

Ear training is mainly composed of sight singing and listening.

Among them, the listening part can be roughly divided into monophonic listening, continuous monophonic listening, single interval, harmonic interval connection, single chord, chord connection, rhythm listening and melody dictation. Each of these can be subdivided. The sight-singing part can be divided into rhythmic sight-singing, single-part melodic sight-singing, multi-part melodic sight-singing, and single-part and multi-part melodic sight-singing with accompaniment.

It can also be subdivided. Sight-singing and listening are closely related and unified with each other.

**Learners can make selective exercises based on their own characteristics. For example, to use sight-singing as the basis of listening, it is to first familiarize yourself with the various relationships in ** through sight-singing, including the construction of intervals and chords, rhythm and melody, etc., and then promote the improvement of listening. This is a learning method from the inside out.

Or vice versa. That is, first through the familiarity with various ** materials, deepen the understanding, so as to meet the requirements of promoting sight-singing.

Sight-singing also includes the elaboration of ** expressions. In addition to pitch and rhythm, another indispensable factor is the ** expression, that is, the treatment of the work. This is also indispensable.

For the learning of solfeggio ear training, it can strengthen the practical ability of learners to their profession, which is of great significance to their learning and development of other basic courses and their own majors.

Introduction to Ear Training Discipline:

In my four-year study at the Academy, composition is a major, needless to say, and I have been studying all year round; Other professional disciplines such as harmony, composition, polyphony, and orchestration are studied for one and a half years; Music theory is a year; And only the ear training is two years. Why? Because except for composition and ear training, the rest of the disciplines are mainly based on theory or account for a considerable proportion, which means that the theory is thoroughly understood, plus some homework is almost the same.

Unlike solfège, primary solfège does not require complex theories, but it requires a lot of training to learn well. Basic music theory and ear training are the foundation of learning, and only learning music theory cannot be said to have been learned, and learning sight singing and ear training is the door to enter. The form of the song is similar to that of ear training.

Learning to practice solfeggio is a necessary way to learn the next level, and those who don't know the form can be said to not compose at all. Some people have never learned the form of music, but they can also create high-quality pop**, I dare say that they will inevitably have some understanding of the form after a lot of creation. Ear training cultivates a sense of musicality, a sense of pitch, and inner hearing; The music style cultivates a sense of musicality, a higher level of musicality, and a sense of the overall situation.

How to learn sight-singing ear training: In the "Single-part Sight-Singing Course" published by Shanghai ** Publishing House, it is said on the second page of the first volume that "the teaching of sight-singing ear training (we call it basic music lessons) includes four contents: sight-singing, dictation, music theory, and auditory analysis.

These four contents cooperate with each other, complement each other, and form an organic whole, the purpose is to systematically develop ** hearing", here we don't have to say specific music theory, please refer to books, and dictation and auditory analysis can be classified as "listening" content, so in general, there are two major parts of ear training: sight singing and listening. In the academy, when sight-singing, sing according to the textbook, and the teacher corrects it; Listening (dictation or auditory analysis) is played by a teacher or something you don't know beforehand, and then relied on auditory recording or analysis.

When self-studying, it is best to have multiple people practicing together, and they can help each other train; But if it's just one person practicing, such as trouble, we need some tools to assist and act as a teacher. Sight-singing can be helped by notation software, first look at the beatmap and sing, and then correct your pitch and timing through the software's **; Dictation can be done with some listening software or notation software. Auditory analysis is a relatively advanced content, which can be distinguished and analyzed by the ear through the first music, harmony, song form, polyphony, orchestration, etc., and usually sings, which is this kind of training.

1. If you want to learn sight-singing and ear training well, first of all, you must sing the C major scale well. It's about carving these seven most basic sounds into your mind.

2. Learning stave is the same as learning other knowledge, there is no shortcut, you can only memorize the knowledge step by step, and then you can be proficient in reading the notation in the future, of course, the best way is to remember the position of the notes through practice, but there is also a knack.

3. Keep singing, sing a large number of new scores, and keep repeating, memorize each new score, and sing until the speed is reached, the rhythmic pitch will not be wrong, and there will be no pause in the middle.

4. The second is to record the C major scale, the new score sung and memorized with *** or other tools, and listen to it repeatedly, repeatedly.

Ear training training, first learn to sing, then learn to distinguish sounds, and then learn to recognize chords.

Singing is actually very simple, that is, to synchronize the sung sound with the audio of the instrument, which requires a lot of practice, of course, if you are born with a good sense of tone, the speed of learning will be very fast.

After being able to sing accurately, you need to learn to distinguish the sound, and you can first find the distance between the tones, and then determine the root tone, and identify the heard sound according to the relationship between the root tone and the sound. Once you have learned how to sing and recognize sounds, you can learn to recognize chords. When learning to recognize chords, you can first identify the first four notes, and then use the intervals to identify the next four extensions, and if you can't accurately identify the intervals, you can identify them according to the auditory effect of the intervals.

Training methods

Establish a stable beat: Creating a stable beat is simple and requires only a metronome. Knowing where the beat is wrong can help us build a sense of beat faster.

Mastering the rhythm type: the rhythm can be roughly divided into three categories, basic rhythm, dotted rhythm and syncopated rhythm, the basic rhythm is quasi-parting, each note is the same, the dotted rhythm is long and short, the syncopated rhythm is short and long, first short and then long, these rhythm patterns need to be mastered.

Rhythm training: Establish a stable sense of beat and master rhythm patterns, including learning rhythm sight-singing, rhythm imitation, rhythm dictation, and rhythm error checking.

The common training methods for ear training are as follows:

1.Develop the habit of listening to the capsule.

When listening to the sound, you should not think about hearing the end note, but learn to be able to sing quickly when the head comes out. Because each note has a certain amount of time and a long end note, many people strive to distinguish the interval in the end note, which is unscientific. ** Wait for no one, we should react at the beginning of the note.

Therefore, you should develop the habit of listening to the capsule.

2.Develop the habit of falsetto.

Ear training is different from singing, but it should also be able to express ** emotions, even if each pronunciation is also different. Learn to pronounce in falsetto or semi-falsetto, which is softer and easier to control the pitch and easier to control. When singing, it does not overburden the voice and is also good for ear monitoring.

3.The habit of thinking all the time.

When singing the melody, you should be mentally aware of the scale of each note, experience the emotional color contained in the melody, and at the same time play the beat, so that you can naturally sing the melody rhythmically and dynamically. In short, you can't follow your feelings when singing, which is easy to cause inertia, but you should always maintain the ability to think and discern.

4.Before sight-singing, it is necessary to practice the scale, practice the scale, and sing the interval model. When singing scales, in addition to paying attention to the intonation, it is also necessary to reflect in your mind the progression of each note in the key.
