Part 3/6:
Crafting the Ear Training Challenge
The video recording session is both educational and playful. Ricky demonstrates a range of musical activities designed to test Dylan’s ear. From identifying notes to naming complex chords, Ricky challenges his son with tasks such as:
Singing and identifying specific notes or chords
Recognizing chromatic progressions
Naming and singing clusters and other dissonant chords
Despite Dylan having a cold that day, making it difficult to hit high notes, the session showcases his impressive earTraining skills. Ricky emphasizes that these challenging exercises are deliberate attempts to deepen his son's musical foundations.
