These comprehensive, live 1-on-1 online ear training lessons are designed to help you develop and refine your musical ear with the precision of a professional.

🎹 ABRSM & Trinity Aural Test Preparation
Comprehensive coaching for all exam grades. I help you master the specific requirements for ABRSM and Trinity Aural Tests, turning what is often the most stressful part of the exam into a source of confidence and points.
🎹 Lesson Objectives & Structure
Each session is built on a professional framework. My lesson objectives focus on developing a "functional ear"—the ability to hear a piece of music and immediately understand its structure, harmony, and rhythm. The lesson structure is divided between real-time dictation, vocal exercises, and technical analysis.
🎹 The Benefits of 1-on-1 Mentorship
Unlike automated apps, a live 1-on-1 ear training teacher can identify why a certain interval or rhythm is challenging for you. The primary lesson benefit is personalized correction and the development of a professional musical "intuition" that lasts a lifetime.
What You Will Master: The 1-on-1 Online Ear Training Curriculum
Translating What You Hear Into Musical Excellence
"In my live 1-on-1 online ear training lessons, we move beyond simple repetition. We focus on these core pillars to ensure you possess the aural intuition of a conservatory-trained musician:"
​

-
Chord Recognition: Learn to recognize the color and function of harmonies, including major, minor, augmented, diminished, and all seventh chord variations.
-
Melodic Dictation Mastery: Bridge the gap between sound and notation. Improve your ability to transcribe melodies by ear, helping you to develop musical memory and internalize complex phrases.
-
Rhythmic Perception & Precision: Develop a profound sense of timing by identifying and notating intricate rhythmic patterns, including varied time signatures, subdivisions, and rests.
-
Harmonic Progression Awareness: Gain a deeper understanding of musical architecture by analyzing and recognizing common harmonic patterns and chord progressions within a piece.

Refined Sight-Singing Abilities: Enhance your performance skills by applying your aural knowledge to sing melodies accurately and confidently directly from sheet music.
