Ear Practice

In this ear training video, Geoff Peters talks about the concept of “Intervals” in music and shows how to play a Perfect 5th and a Minor 7th on the piano.

There is a short Quiz section where Geoff invites the viewer to identify some intervals, and then Geoff finishes off the video with a performance of his original song “Wild Thing” (which makes use of the Minor 7th).

Wild Thing is a song that is inspired by the movie Where the Wild Things Are, and you can download the MP3 for it from Geoff’s website.

This Ear Training video was produced by Marcus Emmanuel Barnes and Geoff Peters.

Here’s the first video in the EarPractice.com “free ear training lesson series” by Geoff Peters and Marcus Emmanuel Barnes.

In this video, Geoff Peters plays various chords on the piano and invites the viewer to determine whether the chords are major, minor, or dominant seventh chords, as well as identify the key.
