Strong match

Who this is for

  • Self-taught players who can play parts but not name what they hear
  • Musicians preparing for a school or program entrance audition
  • Anyone wanting to transcribe songs by ear without tab

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Players wanting instrument technique or repertoire — this teaches listening
  • Anyone needing an interactive app that scores your answers
  • Musicians already fluent at identifying intervals and chord qualities

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Online audio instead of a CD

You stream or download the examples, so any phone or laptop works and nothing gets scratched or lost.

Detail 02

Instrument-neutral approach

Exercises train the ear rather than an instrument, so guitarists, singers and horn players all use the same book.

Detail 03

Musicians Institute method

Written from a contemporary performance-school curriculum, so the material leans practical rather than academic theory.

Detail 04

Book plus audio pairing

You need the recordings to do the drills — reading the page alone won't build recognition.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Audio is accessed online; you need a device and internet to load it
  2. 02No instrument or software included — bring your own
  3. 03Ear training rewards short daily sessions more than long occasional ones

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Do I need to read music to use this?

Basic note reading helps, since exercises are written on the staff. You can work through much of it by ear, but reading makes the drills far easier to follow.

02Does it come with a CD?

No. The audio is online — you access it digitally rather than through a disc.

03Is this only for guitar players?

No. It is written for all musicians, so the material applies regardless of what you play or sing.

04Can a total beginner start here?

Yes. It is entry-level material that starts with fundamentals and builds up, though some familiarity with pitch and rhythm basics smooths the start.
