Ear Training for String Instruments

Want to play by ear instead of scrambling for chord charts? This group ear training class is open to all string players—guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, you name it. Through call-and-response exercises, singing and playing back melodies, and identifying common chord progressions, you'll develop the listening skills to recognize melodies, harmonies, and rhythms more easily. We'll start with familiar folk, blues, and pop tunes and work toward transcribing and playing by ear without notation. No theory degree required—just your instrument and an open mind!
