Refine aural perception skills

Refined aural skills are essential for singers and musicians who want to work at the highest levels of their craft.  As a professional musician, I KNOW when someone has well developed aural skills and when they don't.  When they don't, things are slow and clumsy and awkward.  When they have great aural skills, it's a pleasure working with them!  This unit is all about taking your ear to another level!

Well-developed aural-perception skills are essential for success in the music industry and can be applied in a range of contexts, for example, transcribing live or recorded music and preparing charts and other forms of notated music. An ability to discuss sophisticated music structures and components with peers and other industry personnel is required, along with a willingness to work consistently on improving one's own aural-perception skills.
