Ear training is the process of developing the ability to identify and understand musical elements by ear. This includes recognizing pitches, intervals, chords, and rhythms without relying on visual aids. Musicians use ear training to improve their listening skills, which enhances their overall musicality and performance. Practicing ear training can involve various exercises, such as singing scales, identifying notes on a keyboard, or transcribing melodies. Many music educators incorporate ear training into their curricula to help students become more proficient in music theory and improve their improvisation and composition skills.
