One way to practice this skill is through ear training, which can help develop an individual&#8217;s musical ability and appreciation for music.<\/p>\n<h2>Ear training techniques<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-90\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ratatet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/musicaleartrainingtips03.jpeg\" alt=\"ear training techniques\" width=\"328\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ratatet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/musicaleartrainingtips03.jpeg 328w, http:\/\/www.ratatet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/musicaleartrainingtips03-300x300.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/www.ratatet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/musicaleartrainingtips03-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 328px) 100vw, 328px\" \/>Here are some of the most common musical ear training tips to help you become a better musician. Take your time learning these and work on them for a few weeks or months before moving on to more complex tasks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pick an instrument from each range (high, low, middle) and listen to recordings made by musicians playing those instruments. For example, if you picked the <a title=\"violin\" href=\"\/electric-violin-amp\/\">violin<\/a> as your high-pitched instrument, listen to recordings of violins played by famous violinists such as Itzhak Perlman or Joshua Bell; if you choose the contrabassoon as your low-pitched instrument, then listen to recordings of that particular instrument being played by famous musicians.<\/li>\n<li>Learn intervals by singing with yourself, find songs you know all the words to, and sing along while playing an interval in different octaves on a keyboard or guitar.<\/li>\n<li>Learn scales by using a piano app that has interactive notes so you can hear the scale played back as you play it. This way, when someone is playing music in front of you, it&#8217;ll be easier for your brain to pick out what key they&#8217;re playing in because it&#8217;s already familiar with how each one sounds from practicing scales at home.<\/li>\n<li>Practicing without your instrument: The easiest way to improve your musical ability is by practicing with no instruments in hand. While this may seem counterintuitive at first, it helps you focus on the sound and makes it easier to identify what note or chord was played. Also, when you&#8217;re playing an instrument, try playing along with an online recording so that you have something else to reference besides your voice or guitar riff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-89\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ratatet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/musicaleartrainingtips02.jpg\" alt=\"music ear training exercises\" width=\"970\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.ratatet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/musicaleartrainingtips02.jpg 970w, http:\/\/www.ratatet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/musicaleartrainingtips02-300x158.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.ratatet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/musicaleartrainingtips02-768x404.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Basic music ear training exercises<\/h2>\n<p>Practice makes perfect, and the same is true for your musical ear.
