Ear Training

In the fall of 2008 I joined the Juilliard faculty. In teaching musicianship I have found certain drills and exercises to be particularly helpful. Using actual students in my classes I have prepared fifteen videos representing some excerpts from my beginning Ear Training classes at Juilliard.
Some of these activities I have developed over the last decade of classroom teaching; others were handed down to me by my mentor, Mary Anthony Cox. All classes are conducted in fixed-do solfège. The box below shows the chapter titles and descriptions of the fifteen videos.
