Performance-Based Ear Training / James O. Froseth / Strings Accompaniment compact disc

This series is designed to help you with one of the most important musical skills of all: the ability to play on your instrument the music that you can hear in your head. We call this ear-to-hand coordination. Sequential exercises in this tape and book set encourage musicality while teaching the fundamentals about chord progressions and scales. The background accompaniment tape leaves out the drudgery: Instead of being bound to repeat the same old scales time and again, you are free to use your imagination - to vary the rhythm, combine patterns, and improvise.
