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
I can't actually sing a lot of those notes but I'm singing them silently in my mind and I hope that works just as well. My goal is to start hearing the melody line in the sheet music without having to sit at the piano and play it.
