This review is from: Ear Training: One Note Advanced Level (Spiral-bound)

I bought this book about a year ago. I thought I should wait to review this until I had worked with the book/CD. Just a little background on me. I'm a college grad. music major piano player. The ear training I received in college is the interval based system which didn't help me to hear quite honestly. Mr. Arnold's method is quite different from the interval based ear training systems and it works! I find now when I'm in a musical situation I can identify notes based on the key I'm in. This is quite exciting for me and I would highly recommend you check this system out!

I have been one fustrated musician...I've bought a bunch of ear training books and nothing seemed to help me when I was playing with my friends. This new method is great and I can just carry around the CD and listen to it all the time. Thanks Again!!
