By the end of this mini-course, you’ll be able to:

Confidently identify the tonic (key center) by ear in real songs—the essential first step toward intuitive, effortless listening skills. This is the foundation you need to recognize melodies and chord progressions intuitively (without thinking). Without this skill, true progress in ear training is nearly impossible.

In just 30 days, you’ll master a skill that most musicians never fully develop—setting yourself up for success in everything from playing by ear to composing and improvising.

This mini course is not our full method!

This mini-course teaches only one of the core ear training skills: tonic recognition.

It is not the complete "Use Your Ear" ear training method. However, it is the essential first step that every musician needs to master to build true, intuitive ear skills. Once you’ve completed this mini-course, you’ll have a powerful new tool—and a clear next step if you choose to continue your ear training journey with the "Use Your Ear" method.
