Skill level of notating this?
on: April 23, 2014, 11:43:08 PM
How many semesters of university aural skills classes would you have to go through to be able to notate the chords in this piece of music by ear?
I know this is a very simple genre of music and many academics would probably scoff at it but I would still like to know.

None. Sounds like one line to me. I don't think you'd need any training... assuming you'd listen and pick it out.
Otherwise, I'd say 1-2 semesters. Sounds diatonic, repetitive pattern. Get a part of it, you get a lot.
Doing that how though? After one listening? Joining in playing during that one listening? I could see someone doing that, but it would be beyond what gets taught. That would be a couple semesters still I'd think, but a lot of outside practice.
Ditto for theory. Ear training can do some. Knowing theory that goes along with that ear training will help.
