I passed ear training!

Which means that I get to graduate! Finally!!!

Seriously, if my grade was one percent lower I wouldn't have passed, so I have been incredibly stressed about it. I was worried that I would have to retake the class which would have added an entire year :shock:

That is all, now maybe I can build some damn pedals :twisted:

Good job! I found ear training to be a royal pain in the ass - and that was just high school theory.

Thanks guys! Only thing that sucks is that I was hit while driving today, I'm ok and thankfully only a ding on the front side of my car but still, first accident I've had while driving :evil:

Robert, there are a few good softwares out there if you'd like to go that route, even ones that you sing into(I can't remember what that one is called)
Here's a book we used, comes with software(very cheap used book): http://www.amazon.com/Music-Ear-Trainin ... 230&sr=1-1

It's basically two main things: Sight singing and music dictation.
For sight singing we have to sight sing in solfege(translate the notes to do re me language while staying on pitch and in rhythm) something like this: http://www.stretta-music.com/images/8/0 ... 0_zoom.jpg
And music dictation involves listening to something and writing it down(without using any instrument as a point of reference)

Congrats!!! Ear training is not fun, even for those of us who have had to teach it...

Ear Training was brutal. However, what I learned in the mid eighties has made the rest of my gigging life a breeze.

Seriously, you should be proud of yourself! :mrgreen:
