Hearing for modulations

[braintist]

Anyone has any tips or advice for hearing out and naming the type of modulations (eg. major to dominant major, major to supertonic minor, etc)? I find it easy to know whether it is major or minor, but I can't really accurately tell where it really modulate to with 100% accuracy... Suggestions please

Listen for V I.

Compare what you remember from the old tonal center to the new one. 

Listen for the non-diatonic note.

Work on the closely related modulations. If it's moving to a tonal center a fifth down, then the I chord will probably become a I7 (which is V7 in the new key), a lowered 7 step. If it's moving up a fifth, adding a sharp to the key signature, the ii chord will become V/V, raised 4.

I found it very helpful to play around and improvise different modulations. If you've heard then enough times, you'll somehow feel them. Or at least that's how it was for me.

LIsten out for any notes foreign to the key.
