• 00:00:00 In this first class, I'm very excited to be teaching about absolute hearing. I want to share this with you all, and this is class 0. Let's begin with basic relativism. If you don't have any idea what absolute hearing is, please be patient. I'm going to be very slow, just doing the most specific possible thing. However, most people have what we call "relative hearing." But then I'll talk about "absolute hearing." This is an ear that can naturally not recognize sound heights, like if someone touches you on different parts of your body at the same time, you won't know which issue to address. With absolute hearing, the sounds are already established as if on a scale. So, if you hear a sound like a 2, if you're living in an absolute hearing world, you already know what that sound means, whether it's in tune or not, and where it is on the scale. There are two types of hearing-absolute and relative. Absolute hearing is a huge universe of possibilities, but if you memorize a note, like the 2 in central, having relative hearing already exists as a point of reference in this universe of sounds. There are millions of possibilities. A galaxy- we'll draw a galaxy
• 00:05:00 In this video, the instructor teaches how to memorize notes using the absolute method. First, he explains how to memorize notes using color-coded numbers. Next, he teaches how to memorize notes using the first note of a song. Finally, he teaches how to memorize notes using the relative method.
• 00:10:00 In this first video of a two-part series, the instructor discusses the importance of choosing the right song for learning oído absoluto aprendido (absolute hearing learned). He explains that not all songs will work for this training, and that it is important to understand that for boys, understanding this is like love. However, it can sound dramatic to some when they realize that not all songs will click with their brains. The instructor then teaches the first exercise, which is the prelude to Bach's "Prelude in D Major." In the second video of this series, the instructor teaches the Sonata in F Major by Mozart. He explains that this song is not easy to learn, and that even some people who have studied music may not know it. He plays the first few notes and then gradually decreases the notes, asking the audience to try the exercise at home. He then introduces the Second Option, which is the Sonata in A Minor by Bach. He notes that this song is also popular and may be recognizable to some. He plays the first few notes and then gradually decreases the notes again, this time asking the audience to choose which of the three options he will play next. Lastly, the instructor teaches the Third Option
• 00:15:00 In this lesson, the students learn about ear training and how to identify notes on the piano. They are first introduced to Sonata No. 1 in C-sharp Minor, by Clementi; Sonata No. 2 in G-sharp Major, by Mozart; and the Prelude in C-sharp Minor, by Bach. They are then asked to identify which notes in each song they know. Next, they are asked to do an ear training exercise, which involves playing other notes on the piano. Finally, they are asked to listen to a few musical fragments and write down the notes they hear. They are then asked to identify the song they are hearing. If they cannot remember, they are asked to write down the name of the song. They are then asked to listen to the fragments again and try to guess which song it is. Once they are able to identify the song, they are asked to write down the title of the song.
• 00:20:00 In this video, the instructor demonstrates how to practice ear training by playing three popular songs and one classical song. After the songs, the instructor provides tips on how to improve your ear training skills. Next, the instructor teaches a new skill - how to sing along with the songs before they play. Finally, the instructor discusses how to improve your ear training skills further by practicing classical and popular songs outside of the lessons.
