Product Description
The Ear Training curriculum of Berklee College of Music is known and respected throughout the world. Now, for the first time, this unique method has been captured in one comprehensive book by the chair of the Ear Training Department. This method teaches musicians to hear the music they are seeing, notate the music they have composed or arranged, develop their music vocabulary, and understand the music they are hearing. The book features a complete course with text and musical examples, and studies in rhythm, sight recognition, sol-fa, and melody.

 Not to be done individually October 31, 2008

I can see this book being very usefull as part of a university degree, in the classroom, with a teacher and classmates to help out. The theory covered on the first chapter is small but good quality overall. The exercises are interesting and well explained.
I found really hard to take advantage of this material on my own. I couldn't measure my progress and correct my mistakes properly. In the end, I found that Hearing and Writing Music: Professional Training for Today's Musician (2nd Edition) was much easier to study on my own.
 Berklee Press essential ear training June 27, 2007
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
My son attends Berklee and he tells me that this is not the book used at the school. He also said that the material covered in the book is more advanced than what is taught the first year and that ear training is one of the most difficult areas for most students. I understand that Berklee Press has now come out with a Basic Ear Training book. This book should be retitled Advanced Ear Training, or at least book two.

This is the ultimate ear training method. All of the exercises are geared toward developing your inner ear in a practical and useful manner. I was a student of Steve's at Berklee and going through this book is like going through his class again. Great teacher and a great text.

The Moveable Do taught at Berklee and explained in this book is a great resourceful tool. You don't need to have absolutely pitch to hear the notes right. The book explains that the Moveable do technique helps develop recognition of notes no matter what key. It also brings great exercises to practice your ability to read in all keys. It reinforces the need to solfege in order to listen well. The rhythmic exercises cover the different time signature and common rhythmic phrases used in today's music. This great book helps you develop yourself to be a solid musician.
