Artistic ear training for improvisers
In IFR we believe that your sensitivity and your love of music are your greatest gifts as an improviser. And so your ear training program should also be artistic and beautiful.
Sing the Numbers uses beautiful songs and melodies to teach you about music. Through this process you’ll learn to recognize the sounds in the music all around you, and you’ll learn to express the sounds you imagine on your instrument.
Five powerful benefits to your improvising:
- Improvise beautiful solos in all seven harmonic environments. Do you have trouble coming up with interesting melodies in Seven Worlds? Here we give you literally hundreds of gorgeous, catchy melodies that you'll be singing to yourself long after you turn off the music.
- Recognize the harmonic environments by ear. This course immerses you in the sounds of each harmonic environment and teaches you what to listen for to recognize each one by ear.
- Master the chord notes. If you struggle to remember which notes make up which chords, this course will solve that problem forever. Our chord note tracks use catchy riffs and melodies to teach you the precise sound of each chord note. One result of this immersion is a deep and long-lasting memory of the tonal numbers that make up each chord.
- Recognize chords by ear. Another benefit of the chord note tracks is that you will learn to hear the chord notes melodically, meaning that you'll learn to hear exactly where each chord note sits on your tonal map. This is a huge advantage in learning to recognize chords by ear.
Three powerful audio lessons for each harmonic environment:
- Meditative. The meditative tracks are ideal for deep contemplation of the sounds. Each sound is presented and contrasted with the others to give you a crystal clear understanding of the complete harmonic environment.
- Chord notes. For each harmonic environment there is a complete audio lesson on just the chord notes. You'll discover many great riffs and melodies that can be made with just these notes, and you'll gain a deep understanding of which notes make up which chords.
- Advanced. The advanced tracks contain literally hundreds of song-like melodies that will help you make the connection to recognizing these sounds in the music all around you.
How it works
All you have to do is play the audio tracks and sing along. There are no exams, testing or drills. The course takes you on a guided tour of all seven harmonic environments of the major scale, letting you experience each beautiful sound for yourself. Each melody is presented in IFR tonal numbers. After listening to the melody, you’ll sing the same melody back in tonal numbers.
