Ear Training & Sight Reading
I listed both ear training and sight reading together as they are closely related and interdependent. Many of the links on previous pages (for beginners and advanced students) contain ear training exercises as well.
- Big Ears: The Original Online Ear Trainer.
- Good Ear: Online Ear Training Site.
- Intervals: An ear-trainer applet that teaches students of music to identify intervals of the chromatic scale.
- The Kodály Method: a special approach to music education. Just like children learn to speak before they can read and write letters and words - so will children sing, play and dance before they are introduced to the notes. Many of the principles can be applied to adults as well.
- Kodály Method Practice Pages: Practice learning the notes of the scales using simple folk songs.
- The American Folk Song Collection: An online resource of the Kodály Center for Music Education at Holy Names University, Oakland, CA.
