PT-01 Eartraining

I’m sharing this ear-training exercise that I originally created for one of my students.

The focus is on learning the melody and its rhythmic pattern over a rhythmic foundation combining 3/4 (the bass) and 6/8 (the accompanying violin pizzicato).

Each riff is played 4 times, and then you get 4 chances to play it on your own!

Good luck!
