The most powerful tool a musician can rely on is his or her own ears, to understand and analyze a song on a deeper level than just playing and singing it. By going through ear-training, a musician becomes more aware of the pitch, rhythm and even harmonic ideas in a song, allowing them to recognize similar ideas and themes in other songs, as well as predict them in new songs.
