Ear Training
After 10 semesters of full-time studies at the most prestigious music school in the world, I am now a professional musician in New York City, making a living from performing and teaching music full time.
Ear Training has been the topic in which I have developed the most, having received top grade for 4 semesters of Ear Training classes, as well as orchestration and conducting.
Additionally, my own musical project performs only fully improvised, 100% Spontaneous Music, and that kind of music relies almost solely on the musicians capability to hear each other, and act based on their reflexes from what they are hearing.
