Basics of Ear Training, Grade 7: Book

This workbook delivers exactly what Grade 7 students need: focused daily practice that builds ear training skills without overwhelming them. The five-day structure creates a manageable, sustainable routine, and the built-in tests let you track progress clearly throughout the year.

The Grade 7 book feels like stepping into a confidence-building routine. Each day's exercises build on the previous day's work without overwhelming; students discover they can isolate and identify intervals, rhythms, and harmonic movement because the structure holds their hand without patronizing them.

Grade 7 students working through a structured ear training curriculum. This book serves students preparing for graded music exams or those in school music programs who need systematic training in listening and interval/chord recognition.

• Use one exercise per rehearsal warmup rather than assigning the entire daily section at once; brevity keeps engagement high
• Have students check their answers immediately after each exercise so they experience success and recognize patterns quickly
• Pair the workbook with actual repertoire from your ensemble; sing the intervals or rhythms students are isolating on the page

Assign one day's exercises per week during ensemble warm-ups or as part of independent study. The five-day structure aligns naturally with a school week, so students can work through one complete unit per week and complete the full workbook across the school year.

• Interval identification by ear
• Chord recognition (major, minor, and seventh)
