Beginners Learning Piano - Materials for Adults - Developing Aural Skills


Aural skills training is very important for learners of all ages and levels. Music enters human consciousness through the ear and the ability to discern various harmonic events and other developments in a piece of music is of crucial significance. Not only does it enhance the enjoyment of music but also makes it possible to engage practically with more understanding of the subject and ease of performance. Especially within the context of classical music, all cultures and ages offer documents of encouragement for acquiring good aural skills stemming from some of the greatest musicians and pedagogues of all times.
