Towards the New Horizon of Technical Ear Training

Chair:
Sungyoung Kim, Rochester Institute of Technology - Rochester, NY, USA

Panelists:
Jason Corey, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, MI, USA
Kazuhiko Kawahara, Kyushu University - Fukuoka, Japan
Doyuen Ko, Belmont University - Nashville, TN, USA
Sean Olive, Harman International - Northridge, CA, USA
Timothy Ryan, Webster University

Recently, various technical ear-training programs have been introduced to audio and acoustic engineering communities. In the previous workshops, the panels have discussed necessary features and methods for efficient and effective training (AES131, 132, and 141). The current workshop aims to (1) let workshop attendees experience and compare the characteristic functions of various ear-training programs through hands-on demonstrations by the panelists, and (2) discuss the latest development trends and future applications. While the workshop locally aims to provide the attendees with chance to experience theoretical and empirical matters of ear training programs around the world, it also globally aims to consider the importance of “listening” in the current video-oriented society.
