Another Ear Trainer Type Thing

I got the idea for this when I was watching a t. v. show where someone was in a jazz violine class for one of the scenes (it was a reality type show). The teacher played a bar or two very fast and the class played it back right after. So what I've done here is used a computer program to generate a random bar in the key of A minor pent, I have the computer play it twice then I have a bar of silence. What I do is I listen to it, then pause the track and play it back. I used the minor pent scale to make it easier for me and I also had the root as the lowest not and restricted it to one octave. Also, I cleaned it up a little and made eight notes the smallest step to make it easier to hear which interval it played.

So, I'm doing this so I can go from a thought in my head to actually playing it, and also b/c I have bad routines in my music so I'm trying to break those by playing these randomly generated sequences.

Also, if people find this track beneficial then I can make more, and i can take requests, like the computer program has exotic scales in it also such as hungarian and so on if people would like to break down yet another barrier . So just let me know and I'll make it and so forth.


If you learn how to play songs, then you learn songs. If you learn how to improvise, then you learn music.
