Have you ever heard the term “ear training” and wondered what it means—or if your homeschooled child really needs it? In this episode of the Music in Our Homeschool podcast, Gena Mayo breaks down this essential skill for budding musicians of all ages.

You'll discover how ear training develops a musician’s ability to hear and identify musical elements like pitch, rhythm, intervals, and chords—all without needing to read music first. Gena shares how she uses playful listening activities with preschoolers, from identifying animal calls to recognizing musical instruments, and how this early work builds into more advanced skills like sight singing, dictation, and chord recognition in her music theory courses.

Whether you're teaching music to your preschool or elementary students or helping your teen prepare for college-level theory, this episode will show you how ear training makes a huge impact. And don’t worry—you don’t need to be a music expert to help your child thrive!

Tune in and learn how to start building this skill right from your homeschool!
