Description:
The first step to singing in tune is training our ears to discriminate between pitches. In this lesson, Camille will give you a crash course in pitch letter names, followed by four practices to help you learn how to discern pitch, and octave.
Practice one will have you guess whether the two pitches played are the same, or different.
Practice two will have you guess whether the pitch is going up or going down
Practice three will have you guess whether the pitch is in unison(same pitch) or octave
Practice four will have you guess whether the pitch is unison, octave, or going up or going down.
