Are you a music teacher looking for inspiration? Or a music
student looking for guidance?
We have created a 12-part course for you with exercises from
MusicalEar. The exercises are diversified and provide an
interesting music course with a steep development path. We
invite you to follow this course plan during your classes or
self-studies.
Take your time to practise the exercises of each lesson until
you feel confident enough to continue with the next lesson. There
is no rush, you may complete one lesson in 1 day or 1 month as
well, the ultimate goal is to improve and deepen your aural skills
and music theory knowledge step by step!
Starting from September 24th, every week we will upload the
exercises and the solutions of one lesson to this page, so you can
download them directly from here. The exercises and solutions of
the last lesson will be uploaded on the 10th of December, so you
can complete the course by Christmas.
Don't forget, in MusicalEar you will find many more exercises to
choose from and also every worksheet in Sibelius and Finale
versions too. This is particularly useful for teachers, who can
fine-tune the difficulty of the exercises or create their own
worksheets based on the exercises from MusicalEar.
