Summary

Now in its second edition, A New Approach to Ear Training provides students with the means to master ear-training skills on their own and at their own pace. Organized into four large sections of carefully graded exercises that correspond to the progression of material in most theory courses, A New Approach to Ear Training offers instructors remarkable flexibility, enabling them to use the book as an assigned text or as a supplement for students to work through on their own. Accompanied for the first time by CDs, the text truly heralds a new approach to teaching ear training and aural skills.
