More Facilities For Online Ear Training

Musical ear training is fundamental to the advanced training in music. Developing the faculties of the inner ear helps in accurately hearing and identifying musical elements such as reading, listening or thinking about music.

Thanks to the internet technology, online ear training facilities are available for music aspirants to sharpen the skills of instruments such as violin, guitar, piano for sharpening the performance as a better lyrics writer or singer. There is the Theta institute in Tokyo running custom made courses online for this.

Ear training has assumed value these days as it has been made mandatory in many colleges and universities as part of the music program. The intent is to develop ‘perfect pitch’ –an acquired skill to identify a pitch instantly and correctly.

Piano and string players command this facility easily as they start practicing at an early age of five or six. Those starting their music career later will have difficulty in developing the right pitch and require hard work.

As compared to perfect pitch, relative pitch is easy to attain. Any keen listener can sense the difference between higher and lower notes. It indicates that he has the skill of relative pitch. There are many online music magazines and websites that provide good information about ear training related courses. 

Who Needs It?

Two types of people require compulsory ear training.

•    Practicing musicians
•    Budding musicians
•    To deepen knowledge of instruments and music notes.

The online exercises focus on improving the pitch by playing phrases of increasing difficulty by ear. Those who want to play melodies by ear, this exercise is important. The progress bar shows how many phrases are to be played to reach the next level.

An online music store can be described as an online shop which sells audio files, usually music on a per-song basis or on the subscription basis. They are different from music streaming services in the sense it offers the actual music file, while streaming services offer partial or full listening without having to own the source file. Among the important names Buy.com and Half.com are leading online music stores that sell products at highly discounted prices.

The relationship between the physical stimulus of the music and the sensory responses help a fitness freak to achieve rapid fitness in a better way.

In general, music reduces fatigue, raises psychological arousal, relaxation and improves motor coordination. Music prevents exercisers from focusing on the specific physical sensations of fatigue. Slow-rhythm and fast-rhythm classical music is ideal for fitness sessions. According to a study, music temporarily distracts exercisers from the body’s internal cues associated with tiredness.

Many studies have revealed the effects of Music for Fitness workouts. Work out enthusiasts prefer music with the strong rhythmic component. Research findings suggest that music can be a motivator to exercise with efficiency. Among the types of music stimulative music is a better option in Yoga sessions.

Music exposure produces longer endurance times and increases the exercisers’ psychological arousal. Music increases relaxation during exercise as it dampens some of the byproducts of high-level exercise, such as acidosis and elevated hormone levels.

Plasma lactate and nor-epinephrine produce exercise stress. Blood pressure and perceived exertion decreases when individuals listen to music during a treadmill session.

Music also leads to a better rating of the metabolic (acidosis) and hemodynamic (heart rate and blood pressure) components of the exercise.

Music controls many uncomfortable physical sensations associated with exercise as the music’s rhythmic stimuli improves large and small motor tasks.

Even stroke patients with bigger abnormalities in motor control are benefiting from Music For Yoga while gait improvement exercises. Their recovery speeds up with extensive motor training assisted by music. It has been recorded that auditory feedback of a patient’s steps when accompanied by a musical instrument gives better results than in a conventional therapy session without music.

Tips for Compiling Sheet Music for Piano and Guitar

For writing music for piano, get sheet music from on-line or local online music store. After getting the blank sheet music, learn the basics of music notation including Clefs: Time Signatures: Key Signatures: Note Values: Pitch Notation: Measure Lines: Repeat Bars etc.

After understanding basic notation, play your piano and start compiling melodies, motifs, chord progressions or random musical thoughts. After compiling ideas link all those with bridge phrases to match a melody to a chord progression and bass line.

Now add more ideas even if it may seem silly at the time. Link the musical phrases and create artistic unity within the song or piece. Now check whether the components of the composition are cohesive and hold the listener to hear more.

To improve the composition, check it later with a new perspective on the work. Finally, when you are done with the composition, play it for a friend to get a feedback. Enjoy writing piano sheet music because not many people are talented enough to do it!

To grow as a musician learning how to read sheet music guitar is a must. So use guitar tabs to know how to read music. For starters tabulating a complete song will be tiresome.

Guitar chord charts are preferred transcription methods for folk, rock, blues and pop projects. Guitar sheet music is used in jazz and classical sessions.

In the guitar sheet music the thumb rule to identify which clef you should play comes from the idea that six string guitar parts are typically in the treble clef and bass guitar parts are typically in the bass clef. To identify the appropriate clef the formula is--treble clef is always written above the bass clef. Lines of the treble clef are from low to high E-G-B-D-F or Every Good Boy Does Fine. The five lines on the bass clef, from low to high, are G-B-D-F-A, or Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always.
