Ear Training & Improvisation
Being able to hear and understand music is a crucial part of being a singer. Ear training and improvisation strengthen the connection between ear, brain, and voice.
Singing what you hear
Ear training is about being able to recognize and reproduce notes, intervals, and chords. It makes it easier to:
- Sing in tune
- Learn songs faster
- Adapt to other musicians
Improvisation as training
Improvisation is not just for jazz singers. It’s an effective tool for building musicality, developing timing and phrasing, and becoming more comfortable with your own voice.
Improvisation is not about trying to sing “cleverly”, but about reacting musically in the moment.
Why is it important?
A singer with a trained ear and an improvisational approach:
- Is more flexible in an ensemble
- Feels more musically confident
- Becomes less dependent on sheet music
