Lets get started!
Why is this So Important?
Perfect Pitch versus
Relative Pitch
GOOD NEWS! You already know

way more than you think!
GUERILLA EAR TRAINING

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT??
>Because Music is SOUND - Ear Training lets you
KNOW and instantly analyze what you are hearing
>After you learn Ear Training you can...
Hear it once and PLAY IT- plus WRITE the CHART
>Learn this Vital Skill and you will become...
a Better Player / a Faster Arranger / a Sharper Producer
GUERILLA EAR
TRAINING
Perfect Pitch versus Relative Pitch
PERFECT PITCH (Absolute Pitch) >less than 0.01% of people have it
>you either HAVE IT or you DONT (nbd!)
RELATIVE PITCH >Everybody has it, in varying degrees...

[that means YOU TOO!]
>You can DEVELOP it and improve your Skill
[...thats what were doing today!]
GOOD NEWS!!
You already know WAY more than you think!
If you can sing Happy Birthday,
youre already on your way This Class will...
Narrow it down - Start Simple - and Grow from there
SO... Lets N A R R O W I T D O W N ! ! ! ==>
N a r r o w i t D o w n ==>
In Western Music there are only 12 NOTES in an octave
the same 12 notes repeat in the next octave
95% of all pop music is built on the MAJOR SCALE

the Major Scale only uses
7 of the 12 notes
...and I GUARANTEE you already know these 7 notes

SO...Lets start at the very beginning a very good place to start...
GUERILLA
EAR
TRAINING
We start our Training on the
mountaintops of Austria
with the Von Trapp childrenDo-Re-Mi 1-2-3 A-B-C...
Yes folks, its
its ALL THE SAME!!
FRAULINE MARIA!
Ear Training is EASY

Its Only 7 NOTES!!

Do-Re-Mi ...WHAT??
In The Sound of Music Rodgers & Hammerstein
were teaching the Von Trapp children Ear Training
The system is called SOLFEGE; been around forever

Each of the 7 NOTES in the scale has a syllable
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do (same as low Do) {used to be UT!}

It is called a Movable Do system (Nashville Number System)
SING IT!
...really fast, syllables LOUD, rush past the rest of it-
a C Major Scale is
all White Notes on the keyboard
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Now just sing The First Three

Do-Re-Mi = 1-2-3 = C-D-E
***Focus on the sound of each Note***
When I play a note, you SING which of the 3 it is - (Come on, only 3 options!!)
GUERILLA

Its time for...
POP QUIZ #1!!

{Lets go FAST!}
POP QUIZ RULES

>Take out manuscript or blank paper
>Now we are moving from Austria to Nashville...
so instead of writing Do-Re-Mi write
1-2-3
*For now, everything is in the

Key of C Major *Remember, its Relative Pitch...
so you are writing your answers relative
to this Reference Pitch -

GUERILLA
TACTICS
TIP #1
Always identify the first
3 pitches of the scale
1-2-3 with the song
Do-Re-Mi
The UP-DOWN Game
a C Major Scale is
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
>Do-Re-Mi = 1-2-3 = C-D-E = The First Three
***Key Center***
The KEY CENTER is the HOME BASE, the Starting
Note, the Do, NOTE 1, the BOSS, the Big Cheese,
the TONIC, the note that feels Final to us,
very often the last Chord of the song...
Even most non-musicians can identify this note
So far, everything we have done has been in the
Key of C - (every melody can be played in every Key)

Lets practice identifying the Key Center
POP QUIZ #3
Identifying the KEY CENTER
>Ill play part of a song, you get the
Key Center in your head
>When I point to you, you sing the
Key Center Note / the Do
NOTE 1 of the Key
sing the word HOME
(sing pretty now, the whole class is listening!!)
Pop Quiz #3
I play the tune, you sing the Key Center
POP QUIZ #4
Identifying the KEY CENTER
>Ill play part of a song, you get the
Key Center in your head
>When I finish Ill play 1 note:
*Write YES if it IS the correct Key Center
*Write NO if it is NOT the correct Key Center
Pop Quiz #4
I play the tune,

I play a possible note for the Key Center
You write YES or NO
Pop Quiz #4
Today is the Day = YES

Indescribable = NO
Mighty to Save = YES
Everlasting God = NO
Say So = YES

Pop quiz #4
Did you correctly identify
the Key Center?
Dont worry if you didnt...

well come back to it Lets add a New Note

TIP #2
Music and Pitch are EVERYWHERE!
Get yourself a
Personal Pitch Reference
(for times when a keyboard or other
pitch reference is not available)
GUERILLA
TACTICS
TIP #2
*I know my car chimes a D when I
take my seat belt off while driving
*The 60 cycle hum from an
amplifier is roughly a B
*I know the lowest note
I can sing is an F
>>>Find the lowest note you can
sing and remember the pitch!
Time for a New Note

So far we learned:
1-2-3 = Do-Re-Mi = C-D-E

When the melody jumps

(versus walking up & down by steps)
the jump is called an

INTERVAL.
Use these familiar tunes

Dont Be CONFUSED!!
When someone refers to an Interval
(You sing the 5th!) you need to know...
Are they referring to the KEY CENTER?

(sing a 5th above the Key Note, Note 1)
OR...
Are they referring to the CURRENT CHORD?
(sing a 5th above the Root of the Current Chord)
BIG DIFFERENCE!
Its OK to ask
Lets add another Note

1-2-3-5-6
Listen to NOTE 6 along with 1-2-3-5 in these songs

You RULE the Major Scale!
You are KING of the Jungle!
Take a Victory Lap Then lets get back to
BASSics
Identifying BASS NOTES
*STEP #1 toward analyzing Chords

*Use the same approach as Melody
POP QUIZ- BASS

>I will play a Chord Progression
>You write down the
BASS LINE
(leave 2 lines of space above your Bass Line)

Pop Quiz- BASS

Listen and write the LETTER NAMES
of the BASS LINE (in C Major)
Pop Quiz- Bass

Bass = C-F-G-C--F-G-C
GUERILLA
EAR
TRAINING
Pop quiz-BASS
Youve got the BASSics!

You can write Melody!
Now youre just 1 step
away from knowing the
CHORDS!!
CHORD CONSTRUCTION
Most of the time the BASS NOTE
is the ROOT of the CHORD
ROOT = the Name of the Chord,
the Bottom Note of the Triad,
the 1 of the 1-3-5
or the C of the C-E-G [C Triad]
in a C major chord the ROOT is C
Now add the Melody

Lets take the same progression...
you already wrote down the BASS LINE
so you already know 1 note in each Chord
and it most likely is the ROOT (the name of the Chord)
>>>Now use your Ear Training skills and
write the Melody on top of your Bass Line
Pop Quiz-Melody
Listen and write the LETTER NAMES
of the MELODY over the BASS LINE
Pop Quiz-Bass + Melody

Melody=E-C-D-E--A-B-G
CHORD CONSTRUCTION
Now we know the BASS NOTE
(probably the ROOT of the CHORD)
and we know the MELODY NOTE

(probably another Chord Tone)
Now we have 2 of the 3 notes in each Triad

Use the SING-HOLD-MOVE-DOES IT FIT? method
Well start with the PRIMARY TRIADS 1-4-5 = C-F-G; all MAJOR
Now fill in the remaining note in each Triad and name each Chord - GO!
Pop Quizadd Chords

You have :15 seconds!!
Pop Quiz-add the Chords

Chord = C-F-G-C--F-G-C
Melody=E-C-D-E--A-B-G
CHORD CONSTRUCTION
a QUICK WRAP-UP:
the BASS NOTE is probably the
ROOT of the CHORD
but the Bass Note is sometimes NOT the ROOT
the Bass Note could be the 3rd or the 5th;
the E or the G of the C Major Chord (or even the 7th!!)
These are called SLASH CHORDS or INVERSIONS,
C/E (3rd in the Bass) and C/G (5th in the Bass)
MEGA-POP QUIZ
>OK... you get 3 SHOTS!
>Ill play a progression with
Bass Line, Melody, and Chords

*Pass 3 - write the CHORDS

CHORD CONSTRUCTION
4 Types of Triads -
Triad is the basic 3 note Chord
Major Triad - 48% of pop music
Primary Triads built on 1 and 4 and 5 are naturally MAJOR
Minor Triad - 48% of pop music
Secondary Triads built on 2 and 3 and 6 are naturally minor
Augmented Triad - rare
Doesnt occur naturally in the Major Scale
Diminished Triad - medium rare
Triads built on 7 are naturally diminished, but rarely used
PRIMARY and SECONDARY Triads

We started with the PRIMARY TRIADS
1-4-5 = C-F-G; all MAJOR
Then we added INVERSIONS-SLASH CHORDS,

(where the Bass Note is something other than the Root;
like the 3rd or 5th of the chord)
Now we will add in the SECONDARY TRIADS

2-3-6 = D minor - Emin - Am; all minor
Minor can be abbreviated min or just m.
*Chord Names with the Letter only are
assumed to be MAJOR Chords.

Way To Go CHAMP!!!
You RAAWWK!!!
But wait -
Wait a minute -
What about those other 5 notes?

the BLACK KEYS?!?!?
In C Major,
on the Keyboard...
The 7 WHITE KEYS form a
C Major Scale when you start on C
The 5 BLACK KEYS are notes that
are outside of the C Major Scale
(if you start a scale on any note other than C, you will need some
of these Black Keys to keep your new scale sounding Major)
You can borrow these

Outside Notes to spice up the
sound of a Major Key
the 5 BLACK NOTES are

outside the key of C Major
...but just for that reason, they each have a

particularly
startling effect when you use them
The Outsiders
E flat
(D#)
Changing the normal

E to E flat changes
the C Major chord to
a C minor chord To generalize, MAJOR
KEYS sound HAPPY Minor Keys sound sad
*Remember the Wild West Saloon?!?

Suddenly in walks Black Bart;
the banjo player turns to the piano
player and says... Hey Willy, here
come da Bad Guys - Minor Key!!
Listen to the Difference...

Tell me if you hear
>E natural (a C Major chord) or
>Eb (a C minor chord)
The Outsiders
C#
(D flat)
Changing the normal

C to C# changes the
A minor chord to an
A MAJOR chord -
*This creates a Strong Pull

up to the D minor Chord*this is called a
Secondary Dominant

Tell me if you hear
>C natural (an A minor chord) or
>C# (an A Major chord)
The Outsiders
F#
(G flat)
Changing the normal

F to F# changes the
D minor chord to a
D Major chord -
To generalize, our ears

associate this Outside Note
with all things
Futuristic
*It also creates a Strong

Pull to the G Major Chord,
another example of a
Secondary Dominant

Tell me if you hear
>F natural (a D minor chord) or
>F# (a D Major chord)
The Outsiders
G#
(A flat)
Changing the normal

G to G# changes the
E minor chord to an
E Major chord -
*This creates a Strong Pull

up to the A minor Chord,
another example of a
Secondary Dominant
OR... moving down it turns
the F Major Chord into
an F minor Chord; a sad
spot in the progression.

Tell me if you hear
>G natural (a E minor chord) or
>G# (a E Major chord)

Tell me if you hear
>A natural (an F Major chord) or
>Ab (an F minor chord)
The Outsiders
B flat
(A#)
Changing the normal

B to B flat changes
the G Major chord to
an G minor chord -
The borrowed sound of the

G minor Chord fits the
awesome wonder lyric
in
Revelation Song

Tell me if you hear
>B natural (a G Major chord) or
>Bb (a G minor chord)
