From the source SKILL.md

Ear training is the systematic development of musical hearing — the ability to identify, notate, and reproduce musical elements (intervals, chords, rhythms, melodies, and harmonic progressions) by ear. It is the bridge between abstract music theory and lived musical experience: a musician who can analyze a score but cannot hear what they read has incomplete musicianship. This skill covers identification techniques, dictation methods, sight-singing systems, and the major pedagogical approaches (Kodaly, Gordon, Suzuki) that structure aural skills education.

What this skill does

Ear Training is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the education-learning sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/ear-training/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when developing listening skills, practicing dictation, preparing sight-singing, or designing ear training curricula.
