- Train your brain to play by ear
Great concept and a really useful resource. It’s a pity it stopped.
He suggests working from a single key ( same principle as tonic sol fa) and i this is certainly incredibly helpful in order to think in terms of shapes that replicate.

Well done producing a podcast which is accessible for those with little knowledge of theory and also presents a structured way of thinking and teaching. I’m a music teacher with a class of music technology students who tend to have less theory background than our instrumental stream of students. I will be making use of you podcast in my lessons this week and will let you know how the kids go. Thank you for sharing your logical and clear approach. Chris Weber from Adelaide, South Australia 🎺
