Advanced Ear Training & Sight-Singing
Dictation, solfège, and reading string repertoire at sight
True musicianship is hearing and singing what you see and writing what you hear. This module advances into melodic and rhythmic dictation, solfège systems, and sight-singing real string repertoire, the skills tested at conservatory auditions.

Planning this part of your learning
- Where should I start with advanced ear training & sight-singing?
- The curriculum places Orchestration & The String Section before this module. Review those topics if they are unfamiliar. The first lesson is “Singing Intervals”: Internalizing interval size through your own voice. The order is a study guide, not proof that every learner needs the same pace.
- How long is the advanced ear training & sight-singing module?
- The 6 listed lessons total approximately 113 minutes of material. That estimate describes lesson content, not the practice time needed to become comfortable with dictation, solfège, and reading string repertoire at sight. Revisit one task at a time and use feedback from a teacher where physical technique is involved.
- What can I try here without an account?
- The advanced ear training & sight-singing description, lesson sequence and prerequisite links are public. There is no full worked lesson sample for this module yet. The linked public tools and references are free. A free account includes the complete five-lesson foundation module in each instrument and five lessons in music theory, with saved progress and no expiry. Later lessons require the relevant paid package.
