Advanced singing at sight with modulation; identifying augmented/diminished chords; analytical listening of form and texture

What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine you're at a party 🎉 and someone taps a rhythm on a drum. Your job is to clap it back exactly!

  2. 2

    In this aural test, how many times do you hear the melody before you sing it back?

  3. 3

    Let's try clapping a rhythm together! Listen to this 4-beat pattern: 🥁 1-2-3-4

  4. 4

    Now YOU tap the same 4-beat pattern on the number line. Start at 1 and tap each beat!

  5. 5

    What do you clap on beat 2 of the pattern?

  6. 6

    In the real test, you'll also hear two notes 🎶 — you have to say if the second is higher, lower, or the same as the first.

  7. 7

    If the first note is a piano key 🎹 and the second is to the RIGHT on the keyboard, is the second note higher or lower?
