Random Qualdies-2 Bars tach Final Exercise —_) Become familiar with the Chromatic Scale first. Memorize the sound of half and whole steps. Exercises on these recorded tracks should be played ever and aver until you zchieve a measure of success in quickly identifying the sounds that are played. 1 encourage you to sing along with Exercise No.7. Again, memorize the SOUND and get so you can instantly identify the quality/sonority (Major, Minor, Dominant Seventh, etc. . .). I have given answers to all exercises except No, | and No. 8, Use the answer shcets to determine how close you are in your educaied guesses, Write your guesses on a piece of paper and then compare them to-the answer sheei. Don't use the answers a&.acrutch. Your inner earhas the ability to figure out the answers but itrsay take repeated listenings. Many of the exercises may be treated as play-a-long background tracks., particularly exercise numbers 13, 18 and 19 through 26. After you've sung or played with them by ear, repeat the track, only this time look at the answers as you play, ‘The answers are listed for All instruments: Coneert Key, pages 2-7, Bb Instruments, pages 8-13, and Eb Instruments, pages 14-19. ‘Bxercises 2 through 7 are numbered on each side of the page and should be useful in ¢lassroom dictation situations. Thighly recommend David Baker's five Ear Training book/cassette series.
