Why ordinary ear training often falls short

Most standard ear training materials are designed for instrumental learning. The Music Aptitude Test is different. It is built around listening accuracy, musical perception and quick responses under test conditions.

The MAT is not designed to reward prior instrumental experience. That means preparation needs to be specific, realistic and carefully focused.
