My First Notes Ex 1 Free Ear-Training & Sight-Singing Exercises For Young Musicians

David Livianu was born and educated in Bucharest, Romania; he received his Masters in Music degree from the Juilliard School in New York City in 1982. He studied composition under Professor Milton Babbitt, with a full scholarship. He specializes in ear-training and sight-singing with an emphasis on the development of absolute and relative pitch, commonly known as perfect pitch. Currently he lives with his family in Brooklyn, New York. The exercises offered can be used by anyone that has an interest in developing a musical ear; by listening and singing along you will be able in a short period of time to start distinguishing between the various notes and also the distances between the notes. The exercises start from the rudimentary steps of learning the 7 notes to complex combinatorial patterns of intervals, 3, 4, 5, and 6 note chords, encompassing the Major and minor scales from no sharps and no flats, to 7 sharps and 7 flats. The key to success is daily practice and personal participation. If you would like a list of all the exercises + a printed copy of the sheet music for this and other exercises, send an e-mail to david@livianu.com

There's a mistake with the absolute pitch in bar 5 of the 2nd excercise: the note is E and not F. It's 30 seconds into the video.

teach me how to sing please

[CratessetarC]

@TheBMXlove So how is it embarrassing if it's just a name and a reputation?  Would it be embarrassing if it was from community college graduate? You sound so bitter. Spell bitter in solfege.

si?



[neetrab]

@anndesign1 - You said this to another poster "in some countries SI is used instead of TI, that's not big deal is it?" -- I just wanted to comment and say thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering if that was a typo or not.

[TheBMXlove]

This is embarrassing coming from a Juilliard graduate. Just goes to show its just a fucking name and a reputation. This is rubbish. Edit the notes, the F is wrong

[LauraRose83]

30 is still E but underneath it says F. Although the pitch is still the same. If you know how to read music you would catch this. And well I say "Ti" instead of "Si."
