Product Description
This book and accompanying audio CD presents a new and exciting method of developing relative pitch ear training. It has been used with great success and is now finally available on CD. There are three levels available depending on the student's ability. This advanced level is recommended for students who have worked with the intermediate level and now wish to perfect their skills. The muse-eek.com website now features a FAQ section where students can ask question that may arise as they work through this book. This book provides a solid basis for the development of good relative pitch and is the required text at both New York University and Princeton University. Please note only the Spiral edition of this book contains a CD. With the perfect bound version you will need to purchase the CD separately.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back for Comments, March 7, 2001

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!!
