This is an absolute pitch exercise that also involves key signatures in its later levels. 4 levels: naturals, with accidentals, in key signatures without accidentals, in key signatures with accidentals. See above caveat re absolute pitch.įind Absolute Pitches. Identify pitches by ear via multiple choice, with choice of pitch materials. The absolute pitch exercises should be optional, while a good sense of relative pitch is something that most people can acquire with practice.Ĭustom Absolute Pitch. *Caveat: it is not certain that everyone can acquire absolute pitch (often called "perfect pitch") - not all trained musicians have it and there may be a genetic component involved. Identify pitches by ear, choosing with limited multiple-choice boxes.
You can choose the intervals to be heard, and you can choose the clef and key.Ībsolute Pitch. Play the second of two heard notes, first is displayed. Also listed under Ear Training: Intervals. You can choose clef and key.Ĭustom Pitch Matching.

An activity that generates melodies will create them anew for each problem attempt, and so on. An activity that presents intervals, for instance, will choose intervals at random from the list of allowed types set in the activity description. If an instructor has customized some activities for use with a class they can be uploaded to the class WebStudents account and the program can then open those, too, from the table of contents.Īctivities that do not specify pre-composed or library examples will all generate their example material at random so that it is new each time. All the activities listed below are included in each copy of Practica Musica and can be accessed through the table of contents when the program opens.
