The Musical Ear (Ear Training Exercises)

Common Melodic Shapes Lesson (why playing music by ear is easier than you think)


Listen Later

Most songs you hear on the radio use the same melodic shapes and chord progressions as each other. In fact there's just 5 notes that make up most melodies.
In this episode I'll show you the most useful 'common melodic shape' there is for playing music by ear. Once you know this shape, you'll start hearing it in the vast majority of songs you hear. Hearing this distinctive shape in a melody is an easy way to figure out which notes are being played - and then you just have to keep track of the melody wherever it moves next.
Topics include the pentatonic scale, intervals, common melodic shapes, and more.
