Copying By Ear | Beginner Edition -- 耳コピクイズ | 初心者編
🕑 Added 2025-06-06 12:00:03 +0000 UTCThis time, we feature familiar children's songs and folk tunes from around the world!
Familiar melodies are easier to pick up by ear, so even if you have never challenged this copying by ear quiz before, give it a shot!
The quiz only covers short segments of each song, but since the same Tsubo are used throughout, you might be able to play the whole song on your own. You can do it!
We have shared more about the importance of copying by ear in this post — check it out!

▼How to play the Coping By Ear Quiz▼
- There are 3 phrases in total, so try to copy/play by ear while pausing the video for each phrase!
- It might be difficult to pick up all the sounds at once, so it is good to start from a range you feel comfortable with, such as "one bar at a time" or "one phrase at a time."
- There are checkpoints after the playing, so try to focus on where to listen and use them as references.
- Please use the attached sheet music for checking the phrases!
At first, you might think, "This is impossible!" but if you keep up with it, you will find yourself able to do it. (We felt the same way at first too!) Daily small steps are important. Let's work together to improve our ear-copying skills this year!

▼耳コピクイズのやり方▼
・全部で3問あるので1問ずつ動画を止めながら音を取ってみましょう！
・一気に全部音を取るのは難しいと思うので、まずは「1小節ずつ」とか、「1フレーズずつ」とか自分のできる範囲からスタートさせると良いと思います。
・添付の楽譜は答え合わせで使ってくださいねー！
最初は「こんなの無理！！！」と思うかも知れませんが、続けていると気づいたらできるようになるはず。(私たちも最初はそうでした！)毎日のちょっとした積み重ねが大切です。頑張って耳コピ力をみんなで上げていきましょう！
