PT-01 Eartraining

I’m sharing this ear-training exercise that I originally created for one of my students.

The goal is to learn each riff by ear.

It’s probably best to start by singing the riff, and only begin playing it once you really have it in your ear.

Each riff is played 4 times, and then you get 4 chances to play it on your own!

Good luck!

pdfFree : score with the 6 riffs

use it if necessary !
