Episode 018: Learning Tunes By Ear




The 10 Minute Jazz Lesson Podcast show

Summary: I got a questions from one of our listeners, Andrew about how he could improve his skills of learning tunes by ear. I thought that this was a great topic to do an episode on as it concerns one of the most important parts of playing jazz: ear training. This is a particularly hard part of ear training because it requires us to figure out harmony as well as melody and rhythm.<br> <br> This skill can also come in very handy when we want to play a tune or piece that has not been charted out anywhere. This week's episode doesn't contain any PDF's and is just a short run through of my process for figuring out tunes using nothing but my ears.<br> <br> This was a tough episode for me because I could have talked about this for an hour. I wanted to keep with the 10 minute theme so I had to stop myself and just give you an overview of the process. If any listeners out there have any further questions about this process, don't hesitate to drop me a line, I would be happy to clarify anything or dig a little deeper into the process with you.
