Books and software for musical study and practice.
A Tonal Path is a two-volume course of play-by-ear exercises by Pavel Trunecek. Each exercise is heard first, then sung or played from memory. Paperback editions are available on Amazon. The four ebook editions are available on Apple Books and Amazon Kindle.
The first 392 play-by-ear exercises begin with short phrases built from small groups of tones. Modal contexts change from section to section; the phrases lengthen and the relationships between tones become more complex.
These 420 advanced exercises extend the method through flat and sharp signatures before culminating in chromatic material. The melodic structures grow more complex as the tonal space expands.
For iPhone and iPad.
A course of melodic exercises to hear and play back from memory. Modal and chromatic material is organised in progressive levels.
A circular chromatic tuner, reference tones, and a metronome. Pitch and intonation are shown in cents.
A music sketchbook with notation, handwritten annotations, and piano playback.
