EAR TRAINING , EAR TRAINING , EAR TRAINING....Ear training is vital to good musical skills and to be able to transcribe what you hear etc. you can do this by taking the C major scale for example. C D E F G A B C(no sharps or flats) start by playing the scale a few times to get the sound in your ear then play the C note and sing up the scale. also try singing notes at random C E G ( C Maj Triad ) and also you can sing the numbers instead of the letters if you like such as 1 3 5 1 2 4 3 5 7 etc. take your time and really let the sound of the notes sink in DO NOT RUSH THIS. training a good musical ear takes time....all the best to you:)
