Aural Matters in Practice provides a set of aural training exercises based on the tracks of its companion CD, The Essential Hyperion, for use in the preparation of students for advanced music examinations. It is designed to supplement the materials in Part II of Aural Matters (Schott ED 12430) by same authors. The seminal Aural Matters is primarily a resource to help students improve their own aural perception and stylistic awarness of music. Aural Matters in Practice has been written at the request of many teachers seeking additional materials to use in classes or study groups, both to monitor progress and to provide further practice in working formal tests. The books has accordingly been designed with space for students' responses and with model answers (plus suggested marks and a scheme of work) printed on the centre folios for easy removal if desired. The 28 tests are complementary to those in Aural Matters; some encompass related musical material while others provide the opportunity to investigate styles and genres that were only touched upon in the original volume.

A basic ear-training text with examples and suggested self-study curriculum. Armen Donelian, prominent pianist and composer, has condensed the essence of 25 years of teaching experience into Training the Ear. These ear training exercises were created for use in entry-level college classes and for private study. While this book focuses on the specific musical needs of jazz improvisers, students of all kinds of music can benefit from the exercises presented here. The aural abilities may be developed by singing, tapping, naming, analyzing, transcribing, reading, and playing a series of progressively more challenging musical exercises. These practices will help you to process music with ease and confidence. By fully mastering each step along the way, a reliable structure is established which can always be called upon to support your growth. This is the beginning of real musical freedom.

The subject of music theory is taught at many places: music schools, conservatories, continuing-education seminars for laymen... Up to now, however, there has been no didactically perfected yet thoroughly comprehensive concept. Wieland Ziegenrucker, whose pedagogical classic ABC Musik Allgemeine Musiklehre has confirmed his expertise with the material, has coordinated his Praktische Musiklehre with the syllabi of the Verband deutscher Musikschulen (VdM) and tested it extensively in the classroom. Ziegenrucker places great importance on aural training and consistently incorporates it into his method from the very start. This is why the three books of the Praktische Musiklehre each contain a CD. Books 2 and 3 take the music-theory method all the way to simple song harmonizations, which corresponds to an intermediate level in the VdM's syllabus. In summer 2010, the Losungen, or answers, to all basic and supplementary exercises which had previously been available online, are also published in printed form. The only exercises for which there are no answers are those in which the curriculum is formally tested by having the student write (measure) numbers or letters, or exercises requiring personal rhythmic or melodic creativity. Everything else can be found in the Losungen, even suggestions or improvements for exercises for which there can be several correct results. Incidentally, tests for the material treated in the books and for ear-training are available for download at the respective books. With the new Praktische Musiklehre, unanswered questions will now be a thing of the past.
