Step-by-step introduction to the basics of ear training.
The ear training curriculum of Berklee College of Music is known and respected throughout the world, and now, for the first time, this unique method has been captured in one comprehensive book.
Every musician knows that ear training is the cornerstone of competent musicianship. This method teaches musicians to hear the music they are seeing, notate the music they have composed or arranged, develop their musical vocabulary, and understand the music they are hearing.

Essential Ear Training is the result of years of performing, writing, and teaching music, providing a solid foundation for anyone interested in developing their ear naturally.
“This would be a lifesaving book for any musician who has hit a plateau and needs a fresh approach to unlock some more of that potential they are always telling us we have so much of.
