Harmonic Ear Training

“Harmonic Ear Training” introduces essential listening skills designed to help songwriters and performers recognize chord progressions more quickly and accurately. Presented by the assistant chair of the Ear Training Department at Berklee College of Music, this workshop focuses on strengthening your ability to hear harmony clearly and apply it musically. Throughout the series, you’ll develop the skills needed to identify chord progressions with confidence and incorporate them into your writing and performance. The training emphasizes analytical listening, helping you understand how harmony functions within songs and how to translate what you hear into practical musical decisions. By sharpening your harmonic awareness, you’ll be better equipped to internalize musical ideas, respond creatively in performance settings, and apply your listening skills across a wide range of projects. This workshop provides a focused introduction to harmonic ear development for musicians looking to build stronger foundational skills.
