Combining a proven technique with an effective and easy-to-use supplements package, Ear Training: A Technique for Listening is the ideal text for college aural skills courses. Its logical progression in the coverage of skills enables students to build gradually to full proficiency, while ensuring that material they learn early in the course remains fresh. Its flexibility makes it equally effective in a lab-based course, in a instructor-guided setting, or in a course that combines the two. For the revised edition, the online site developed in conjunction with Ear Training: A Technique for Listening has been totally revised to provide a reliable and user-friendly environment for drill and practice of the skills developed in the text. Activities such as melodic dictation, interval detection, chord quality identification, and rhythmic error detection mirror similar exercises in the text and serve to reinforce a broad range of aural skills.
I hate to do this but "a musician" is very incorrect. If you read the first line of the information the publisher says this book is designed for "classroom use". I used this text in college and now use it to teach my Advanced Placement Music Theory Course. Without a teacher (or the teachers edition) the book is essentially a lot of music examples with the first note(s) written in. The point of the book is to develop the ear. It is clearly not a self study book. (Of course, if one bothered to read the information on site one would know that).
