Today was my ear training final on the final day of classes. The course was the most pointless class that I've ever taken. Most people really learned in the class or even struggled in the course. However, when a person is born with perfect pitch then ear training is not very useful. We had to do exercises such as melodic dictation and while most people had to solfege it and listen for intervals I just heard the notes, put the note names, and wrote them on the staff. There were other exercises such as harmonic dictation, tonic prolongation, and interval identification which were even more pointless. However the class wasn't completely useless. As you should know from previous blog posts, I hate solfege, but I understand it more now and appreciate its use. There is always some good in everything and every experience, even an easy A, is an opportunity to learn.
