What key is this piece in?

[teran]

I'm trying to improve my aural skill with regards to identifying specific pitches and tonalities.

Anyway thought I'd try it out on fun childhood stuff.

Anyway I'm going to possibly embarrass myself (uhuh) with a guess at E Major. I just want to make sure because sadly one can't really confirm this like say a piece of standard repertoire, and I have to know because I don't like unsolved mysteries.

Thanks. :3

Yes, it is in EM, but don´t worry about identifying pitches and tonalities, it´s all useless if you can´t identify functions and degrees. What´s the point of hearing an E Major chord if you can´t tell if it´s the tonic, or the dominant, or a secondary dominant? work on identifying functions and degrees instead

Thanks.

You know maybe I will, but identifying specific pitches is still something I'm going to work on because it's just something I want to be able to do.

But unless you have perfect pitch (which is very rare) you won't be able to just listen to a chord (or note) and know what it is. Unfortunately, I don't think perfect pitch can be 'learned'. I'd recommend as andreslr6 said working on identifying cadences and intervals.
