You wonder how you are going to accomplish this? By studying intervals (from thirds downwards to diminished thirteenths), by identifying chords (from major chords to M7(11#) chords), by recognising chords and melody played simultaneously, by differentiating between various rhythmic values (between whole notes and eighth-note triplets for instance) or by melody dictations, which are a synthesis of the elements previously studied.

Whereas the two CDs supply you with exercises, the coursebook offers you the possibility to write down and check your answers.
