Negative Positive
Title: limiting
Review: I have studied this course for about one year along the Perfect Pitch. The training basically consists of being able to recognize harmonic intervals and sing melodic intervals. Basically it's a string of intervals without any musical sense whatsoever. I had no problem with that, until I have read something from an Arnold Schoenberg book about this type of ear training. Schoenberg said that he saw various students that were very good with this kind of exercises. However, in his view, ''training the ear in this way without training the musical mind, will not be of great help.'' That changed my view immediately. Music is not made of a string of perfect fifths. So what's the point of practicing a drill that consists in singing a string of perfect fifths?While this type of training might be worth doing for a few weeks, by all means do not make the same mistake as I did : working on it for almost an year. I now train my ear only on real music, and it is this that I find very valuable.
Is the review positive or negative?
