The ear training method taught today at music colleges and universities is often justifiably criticized for lacking a connection to specific works. This is where Ulrich Kaiser's new two-volume ear training school comes in, which exclusively uses over 1400 authentic examples from music of the 15th to the 20th centuries. Starting from counterpoint and score analysis, the course offers historical, compositional, and systematic aids to understanding, enabling students to group musical phenomena into increasingly larger units. The CD included with each volume facilitates the understanding and retention of the individual methodological steps. Kaiser's school is recommended for use alongside ear training classes, as well as in subjects such as counterpoint, analysis, improvisation, and form theory. It is also suitable for self-study.
