Abstract:
Considering the interests and growth of ear training in the audio communities, it is timely and important to have a chance to share and discuss the opinions from the experts about necessary features and methods that assist trainees in acquiring the critical listening ability with efficiency, both for personal and group training.
The current workshop aims to let workshop attendees experience and compare the characteristic functions of various ear-training programs through hands-on demonstrations by the panelists. While the workshop locally aims to provide the attendees with chance to experience theoretical and empirical matters of ear training programs around the world, it also globally aims to consider the importance of “listening” in the current video-oriented society.
