![]() ![]() ![]() No, mostly because ear training is kind of. A teacher, a peer, even yourself by audio recording your sessions and playing them back in a year or something. I doubt you're getting worse, if you're worried about it, find somebody to help assess your progress. There's always gonna be something that's very tough and you can't get, it just might be something different a few years from now, and that's okay, that means you're open to keep progressing! As your ear gets better, you get more sensitive to differences in pitch, which in turn means that you feel like your playing is just as out of tune when it's actually gotten better over time, or the easy stuff gets ignored because you breeze through it but there's more easy stuff and you just didn't notice the change because you're breezing through it and focusing on the stuff that's tough. There are faster ways, but why wear yourself out ear training really hard when you could be incorporating a moderate amount of it into your regular practice?Īlso, from your other comments it sounds like you really know what you're doing and you're trying very hard, so you surely already know this but I gotta bring it up anyway: if you don't quantify your progress with actual numbers, you have no reference point for how much better you've gotten. I developed decentish perfect pitch only after years of not focusing on it at all, then I retrospectively discovered I sort of had it. If you are passionate about music, just keep doing music. One of the best parts of music is that you can enjoy and learn from it while doing something else. You can put on a playlist and listen to music while doing something else, but ideally you should try to reach a point where you have a good general idea of what's occurring musically, even while multitasking. When you listen to music, put aside some mental energy into figuring out what's going on. It is a slow process, but the good thing is that you can learn fairly passively. Expand to hearing the progression and figuring on-the-fly what it is. Try hearing what kind of chord qualities are being outlined in the music. Listen for different things when listening to music try transcribing the melody, then the bassline, hear where they play on the same beat or not, listen for if the melody is singing the root, third, or fifth, or another extension of what the bass is playing. Try applying the concepts you've learned to real music, not just exercises. Try transcribing 12-tone rows to really work your ears. If you're at a comfortable level with what you're doing now, being correct 99% of the time like you've said in other comments, why not increase the difficulty? ![]()
