What a bunch of bulldogs! An ear training course with a teacher that
doesn't let you do it soley by ear which in actuality you'd have to
find the notes just by listening or humming it and she won't let
you? So not cool at all! That is enough double concert f's from me,
btw that is double g for trumpet the BB instrument you know b flat?
I just can't believe such a method is successful! Buena Suerte!<br>

<div>Your teacher actually had you sing the note? <img

<div>OMW that would make life easier! We are given 2 notes
together and we can’t make any sound. She’ll probably have
us sing later in the quarter if we request it, but as it is
we don’t hum.</div>
<div>You didn’t Braille the note? Didn’t your teacher get mad
because you didn’t write an F double sharp? Or did you do
something like from G Sharp to the 7th which is F double
sharp. Would you write G sharp with the 7th sign? Or seventh
sign with 2 double sharps?</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

<p> <span>Either, my teacher had me sing the example back
to her, and questioned me as to what intervals I was
singing from the given note; she first played the
example once or twice. I would then braille the given
note, along with the interval sign that I thought that
it was. </span> </p>

<div>
<p> <span>Hello, </span> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <span>I’m in a new quarter of music theory and
we have a new Ear Training teacher who’s 100
times harder than my last teacher. She gives out
a handout every week you are tested on, then you
grade it and bring it home to practice. You then
are tested on that same handout the next week. </span>
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <span>The handouts have everything from Melodic
and rhythmic dictation in 6/8 time to labeling
the chords in a song, labeling the notes and
time with the correct notes and duration. </span>
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <span>I’m wondering how I can give her the
results of my test? Should I give my braille
document to my transcriber and have her
transcribe it from Braille to print? Or is there
a more efficient way? This teacher is Adjunct,
so she doesn’t have office hours at all where I
can come and tell her the notes of her absurdly
long dictation exercises. </span> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <span>I also am wondering how people deal with
the fact that in the hand out there are starting
notes for some measures in the exercises, and
you’re supposed to fill in the missing notes?
I’ve tried switching from Braille to my little
Braille+, but it just doesn’t work very well.
I’m not able to wade through the headings and
whatnot to find the right notes. Perhaps this is
another thing I can get my transcriber to do,
copy the notes 3 spaces in with measure numbers
and in the left margin have the problem numbers.
Because she does announce the problem numbers. </span>
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <span>BTW is there an easy way to work out
notes and how many accidentals are supposed to
go on the above or below note in Braille without
counting on your fingers or memorizing every
note combination? Sighted people are just able
to count spaces on the staff. We can just give
the interval, but that doesn’t give an
accidental or the above note. </span> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <span>It would be really nice if there was a
program we could use that translated Braille
music to print, so we could do intervals and
whatnot without all the hassle of reverse
translation... </span> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <span>How did you all do ear training classes?
</span> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p> <span>Thanks, </span> </p>
