#Rules
1. Stay on topic. All posts must relate to music theory.
2. Civility. Disagreements and discussion are great, but hostility, insults, and so on aren't. Any critiques should be focused on ideas, never on individual users.
3. No homework help on specific assignments. It is against the Academic Honesty Policy of most schools and courses. Our subscribers generally dislike this kind of behavior. Please ask your IRL teacher/tutor for homework help instead. It's important that we get such posts taken down ASAP, so in addition to reporting, please report such posts.
4. Don't make this place annoying. Memes and so forth are fine, but mods reserve the right to remove inappropriate or overposted material.
5. Promotion. Promotion of one's content is allowed, provided it is not excessive or mindless. If you regularly post your content but do not otherwise interact with the community, you will be banned. If you link to something that costs money, you must say so in your post.

What @quixotic120 said.
You can look at what they do in music school by searching for musicianship/aural skills syllabi.
These are the usual topics (more or less in the order they are introduced, but about halfway through become simultaneous):
Keep in mind that you'll do these with a concurrent course in theoretical topics.
I should also emphasize that having a good command of theory is of tremendous help to developing your ear; a lot of what we do, especially for hard-to-hear things like inner voices in a thick texture, is logical inference based on things we know. There's a video by Sean Wilson that demonstrates this nicely.
Wow thanks a lot I'll check it !
