Build a stronger musical ear in this interactive 60-minute group class designed for singers and instrumentalists of all levels. Students will learn to recognize and reproduce pitches, intervals, rhythms, melodies, chords, and musical patterns through listening games, call-and-response exercises, singing, clapping, and instrument-based activities. Using my ear-training-first teaching approach, students will work on matching pitch, identifying whether notes move higher or lower, recognizing intervals and chord qualities, hearing rhythmic patterns, and playing or singing short melodies by ear. More advanced students can be challenged with harmony, chord progressions, scales, and melodic dictation. The class is supportive, energetic, and highly interactive. No perfect pitch or previous ear-training experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to listen, experiment, and make music.

Music – Ear Training, Pitch Recognition, Rhythm & Musicianship REVIEWS: El Necioopen_in_new Local Guide • 11 reviews • 6 photos starstarstarstarstar 10 weeks ago I was getting tired of sounding like a bull frog. I’m learning so much from Gabe and only wish I would have started lessons sooner. Guy knows his stuff and, his no fluff approach, is perfect for someone that’s been there done that… Next up, proper guitar lessons with Gabe!!!

He has a vast knowlege of techniques to use that most people dont even know exist. Truly amazing guy to work with. Shawn Mahoneyopen_in_new 1 review • 0 photos starstarstarstarstar 26 weeks ago Gabe knows his stuff, it’s like second nature to him. I should have hooked up with him earlier. I’m a gigging musician, but always had issues with my vocals, his help has been priceless. Terry Kevin Charlesopen_in_new Local Guide • 33 reviews • 16 photos starstarstarstarstar 27 weeks ago Hi Gabe, just wanted to say thank you again for last week. I've been using the breathing exercises you gave me and the difference in my vocal range is already noticeable. I've not been in the studio all week due to other commitments but I have been doing the breathing exercises, yesterday evening I was back in the studio and I "believe" I've just recorded my best ever track, simply because my vocal range has improved already.
