A Quick
Note
The Play
in Pitch ear training method is not intended to be an instructional
guide on how to play a particular string instrument nor is it
intended to be a replacement for a qualified music teacher. I strongly advise
that if you do not have a qualified teacher seek one out. Also, unlike some of
the claims you'll see on TV or on-line, the Play in Pitch ear
training method is not intended to be, nor does it promise to, “have you
playing like the pros in 10 days”. Those claims are exaggerated at best.
What the Play in Pitch ear training
method is intended to be is an effective way to train your ears
to recognize true pitch.
