026 - My Favorite Aural Skills Games & Activities
Aural skills (also known as ear-training) is a fundamental facet of musicianship. Learning to listen, identify, discern, and understand music without notation present helps us develop the inner listening skills needed to become well-rounded, well-versed musicians.
What kinds of aural skills experiences are we giving our students, of all ages? How can we incorporate aural skill activities in our weekly lessons?
I've done a little research on this and found several helpful resources for fostering the development of aural skills in private lessons (and at home) with students of all ages.
If you don't already include aural skill experiences in your teaching on a regular basis, I hope this inspires you as much as it has me!
