Hello all,
As a follow up to doudi's query, I would be super grateful for some clarity regarding the correct time to begin the Ear Training grades. I have had a good look through the forums before making this post but sadly couldn't find a clear consensus on the right moment to commence Ear Training within the Beginner's Course.
I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, but from what I can see, the JUSTIN method is currently interwoven into the lesson structure for the Beginner's course at each stage - and I have been following along with this in stages 1-3.
In contrast, the Ear Training grades are not directly interwoven into the Beginners course lesson structure. As a result, the Ear Training lessons do not appear within any of the Beginner's Course stages as lessons, nor do they appear as the 'Next Module' after completing the final lesson within a Beginner's Course Stage.
When one looks at the lesson map page, the Ear Training and Music Theory grades #1 are slotted directly after completion of stage 3 of the Beginner's course.
So... would I be right to infer that Justin intends for us to begin the Ear Training and Music Theory grades #1 at this stage in our learning?
Similarly, when looking over the lesson map, it appears that Ear Training and Music Theory Grades #2 are slotted in after Beginner's Course Stage 6.
Ideally, I'm trying to follow the structure in the way that Justin has intended as I appreciate that he's taken a lot of time to curate the lessons and determine the best time to begin the different elements.
Any help here would be really appreciated and apologies for the lengthy first post!
Thank you so much for any help here
