Ear training

Listening

This section is designed for practising the identification and discrimination of high, low, rising and falling pitch movements.

This is the first step before being confronted with the actual intonation patterns of the Cat_ToBI labelling system for Catalan prosody.


First listen to the different pitch movements to get used to them, and then you may go through the labelling exercises.
