This is a perfect example that theory/ear training practice should not be very long (20 to 30 minutes a day is more than enough) and it has to be fun for the kids, otherwise, they will get bored very quickly, which might lead to losing interest in the subject or even in playing the instrument.
Enjoy!

Awwwwww, she's so adorable. Father must be super proud 😊😊
Job well done Ellen 🙏🙏
It's amazing to see the chemistry between father and daughter. Ellen is getting the best education that can be had in the most amazing way. There's no doubt that she'll excel in her musical career. It's inevitable.
Thats absolutely correct!
Absolutely !!!! btw: Playing music is (having a lot of) fun 🙂
And music has so many virtues that blend and enhance others skills and crafts in life and school. The discipline alone. This is so cool.
@@KIDSINO69420 Seeing is believing!
Ear training is the most perfect way to learn music 🎶 🎵 and it helps her playing
Not only is she learning how to play, but she's learning how to TEACH. Such a great balance of serious and fun
Horvac is a world-class teacher. Not every musician who can play brilliantly can teach, and not every teacher can teach well. This incredibly darling young lady appears to enjoy learning the art of music more than anything except cake! The enjoyment between the two of them is something she will cherish throughout her life, and it is something that could never be purchased. The fact that her loving father is the conduit of this knowledge will resonate in her being when she's my advanced age. Every day I carry the countless things my parents taught me, and that memory keeps them alive long after they left. Thank you, Horvac, for the gift you give us by allowing us to share in this education that you are giving your delightful daughter. My best to you both!
Couldn't have said it better
Couldn't have happened to a better person, big up Hovac and Ellen!
Music lessons without criticism. Only patience, encouragement and laughter. Beautiful!!! Oh, and cake!!
I am a 70 yr. old trying to learn the bass, just wanted you to know I learned something from this video. Thank you both.
Keep a rockin' Daddio!!!
BTW, I really like your teaching style. Strict, but full of fun. Focus, but playful. Really nice!
I really admire that you are one of the last parents to invest time (and not only money) into the education of your kid. If more parents only had this attitude the world would be a completely different place. For me you are the dad of the year.
I second that! Dad of the decade!!!
She's so smart. He has to go out of his way to challenge her. Gotta be tough. But you gotta be proud also. Hats off to you both.
One of the best vids ever for countless reasons; talent (as a musician of 50 yrs, learnt more from this than everything else in 50 yrs combined), love, family, bonding, comedy, koolness and Ellen's hat. 🏆😎👍
Wonderful father / daughter time that will not only benefit Ellen as a singer/musician but she will treasure all her life! You can feel the love and pride between you two that only a parent can feel. This is your legacy Hovac , You are so lucky!
I cried cause this old man learned a little this morning...and tears r still falling ...♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼beautiful, gracias por alles...danke bitte
Her laugh is infectious! ☺️ Love that looks on her face when she figures something out!
As a bassist for over 40 years, I would recommend that when practicing scales, that you make it a little tougher. Play the scale all the way up the neck, and then back down. You willl discover different ways to go up and down the neck, and this practice will unlock the full neck to you. I love your joy at playing, your dedication to the instrument, and your father's dedication to helping you! YOU ROCK ELLEN!
Great to see how she is learning theory AND ear training right at the same time! Fine lesson!
They always smile at each other and it’s a fabulous connection, for us too.❤💙🧡🙂
Oh, come on now, give that young lady some cake! I love what you two are doing. You are not only teaching about music, you are teaching about teaching. And that is the biggest treasure to all of us watching here. If school teachers could learn something from your videos, they would become some of the best. DO NOT STOP PRODUCING YOUR VIDEOS. (even if they are only about how to make, serve or eat cake!) Thank You.
Playing scales seems boring but this exercise will train your ear and your hands so that one day you will be able to think the notes in your head and your hands will play them. That is when you will be one with your bass. It will just be an extension of your mind. Like a pencil is used to write without thinking about the letters or words. There is ALOT to be learned with scales. This is excellent teaching. Do Rae Me Fa So La Ti Do. I love that giggle, it reminds me of when my grand daughter was her age.
I've said it before, but it's just SO wonderful to see the CONSTANT smile on her face!!! It shows just how excited she is to learn and play!!! INSPIRATIONAL!!!! YOU GUYS ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB WITH HER!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH HER GROW IN HER ABILITIES 😍!!!! JUST GREAT!!!!
Watching Ellen simply brings a smile to my face! She is talent brewing. Her smile and exuberance is amazing! Don't stop smiling Ellen!
I love to see a father and daughter sharing time together. She is such a sweet little person and I can see she wants to make her dad proud. You are making you're dad very proud little one. Makes a grown man want to cry, wish every dad had such interactions with their child.and.share.somwthing they both enjoy.
Ellen, you're simply amazing. It's such a joy to see you learning and having fun. Hearing your voice singing or shrieking or laughing is music to my ears. Both of you keep up the awesome work! Also, your bass looks fantastic with that custom metal work.
I could watch this kid for HOURS! What a team!
one word,.. Amazing! I wish every parent showed this much support for their child when they decide they want to play a musical instrument
hey, I have to make a confession...she's learning and so am I !! THANK GOD !! i LOVE HER FUN ATTITUD AND I REALLY RESPECT HER FATHER...GREAT MUSICIAN AND TEACHER !!
Ellen,
You & your dad are amazing! I am a classical/jazz trumpeter and my kids mother is a classically trained flutist, none of our 3 kids have a single musical bone on their body. Your desire to get better every day under the tutelage of your dad says you deserve cake!
Thank you for sharing. These are difficult lessons and she takes it on laughingly.
Essential training...I ❤ this! Our future generation of musicians in the making! ❤🎶💯😎
I always enjoy watching you work with Ellen. You can tell she's a bright young little lady! It's amazing to watch how fast she picks it up! C major, 7 this, what??? She's over there pickin' & grinnin'! I'm over here bopping my head! She's got the groove! Ellen's Groove!!! She's gonna be famous!!
I'll be following her! Keep up the good work Ellen!! Proud of you!! ✌😎🎸🎶
That's how kids learn - by having fun. That's how they teach - by knowing the subject and making it fun. My first ever lesson I guess I couldn't stop watching. Didn't understand much, but had lots of fun watching. Thanks, guys! I think I am now over with my winter depression, finally. (I am a teacher, by the way).
I wish I had someone like Horvac when I was young! Ellen's joy just shines through and it makes me want to be a kid again where anything is possible. i have been playing along with the two of you. Thanks for sharing these precious moments. Bill
Amazing young lady :) I look forward to following your progress :) your dad is an amazing instructor!
Thanks for sharing this. This is what most people don't see(Even the best have to practice their skills).
She is adorable and so gifted, from one so young and talented, you must be so proud of such a cute little munchkin keep up the brilliant work kind regards Martin
This is SO cool to see. And it shows you CAN teach music theory without reading. But you are teaching her how I ended up learning on my own. So you taught her the major scale in the proper position, then each note and how it sounds compared to the root. I always tell people "The song (or whatever you are playing) is the house. The key is the address." The "house" will always be put together the same way. The "address" is just where it's located. And if she plays and associates each scale degree with its relative position, she'll be able to change keys without even thinking. Of course, teaching her intervals is a sure fire way for her to just hear what's being played. So once she finds her key, she can just associate what she hears with where the notes are instead of trying to think about sharps and flats. I know in the end, she'll just "get it" and be able to put everything together. You're teaching her the building blocks (the HOW) instead of just memorization. That's seriously cool.
My daughter learned to play the piano but her teacher never covered theory. She knows how to play MAJ Min Dim and 7ths but can only do it when she reads music.
I learned like Ellen. I can’t read music but I can follow any song and hear the intervals. I play bass, guitar, mandolin and ukulele. Learning theory opened up a whole new world for me. And it’s fun.
This guy is a great teacher. He is very patient and he knows how to keep things interesting. Love the channel. I can't wait to see her in a huge rock or jazz band.
It's so fun to watch a father in action. I didn't have one growing-up, I'm not regretful, but I see how much this can add to your life. I know both of you cherish each moment. Cheers!
I am and adult musician who graduated from a university school of music and I caught myself singing along and having fun with this. Thank you for posting and letting me reminisce.
Wow! I've always loved music, though I can't read a word and know very little about it. I think for the first time I see that it really is a whole complex language. You're a great teacher Hovak. Ellen, you're very fortunate.
OMG. These exercises really show how much natural talent she has. With dad teching her more she's going to be one of the best bassist of this century if she keeps with it.
Literally creating a monster.
Subscribed!
She's fun to listen to during their practice sessions...it's loving what you're doing, enjoying every second, and it never becomes work...her dad is an outstanding instructor...patience, compassion, encouragement, and as mentioned in other comments, cake...love it!!
Ellen, you grow better with every video. i love the wayyour dad helps you to figure out your notes. best way to learn music theory that there is. you are very well on your way to becoming one of the greats in the bass world
Kudos for the amazing dad!!! you are great. The joy Ellen have in her playing makes me feel so happy. Best video's on TH-cam. All the best from the Netherlands!!
Ellen, I am totally impressed. I can't play any music instrument and I can't read music. And seeing how quick you pick it up is amazing. And I mean that seriously.
Obsessed with cake...😂 she's probably going to be 1 off the best guitarist later in life. I don't see her ever stopping.
reminds me of the frustration I had learning min7ths, maj7ths and dominant 7ths when I first started playing bass😂. keep up the work
Absolutely awesome to see a child learning music theory and enjoying it.
You guys rock 🔥👍🤘✌️
What a joy to watch on so many levels! Seeing a musical mind grow and the patience of a father. These will be times you will both cherish forever
Found your page. Wow, she is going to be another Kinga. I’m so excited for your daughter.
What your doing here is just great to see, keep it up!
The knowledge and value of what he is teaching her cannot be overstated for a serious musician. I love watching this kid practice.
So glad you two decided to build this channel, thank you for this joyful share...
Wow, this is so much fun to see! And by doing/repeating this you’ll learn even more rapidly! You are truly gifted, and your bad-ass father is one helluva teacher! It’s so nice to see him teach you all his knowledge. And by sharing them with us we learn as well. At least I do. And it’s great to see the knowledge land! It’s wonderful to see your eyes lit up when your dad starts playing together with you. I will look forward to that day you will play the bass on your dad’s projects, so he will no longer have to invite Victor for them 🤪
Beautiful to see father and daughter..... in awe...
I love watching this young lady develop learning from master musician Dad Hovak passing down the wonderful trade of great music 🎶 awesome video guys
Nice work Ellen and Hovac! I'm a teacher though I now want to get some lessons again!
As you know ear training, understanding intervals and theory in general is vital to being a pro musician. In some gigs you just have to show up and play, you should consider yourself lucky if you get any sheet music. The only way to do it though, is to do it, make a few errors and learn fast!
One caveat - please make sure you invest in the best quality ear defenders available. Look after your hearing!
You go to an art museum to appreciate the beauty of creation of another person's imagination. When you are doing that, there is a choreography between the creator and observer. What we have in this video, and others that they have made, is the creation of art in the form of two people having a shared consciousness of expressed love and respect. Its a dynamic work of art.
Ellen sei extraterrestre. È pazzesco, faccio fatica a crederlo. Vorrei aver studiato come te quando avevo la tua età ed amavo la musica ma ho dovuto aspettare anni ed imparare da solo. Tuo padre è un grande. Ti auguro tanta salute e fortuna nella vita. Sei e sarai un grande esempio e stimolo per tutti gli amanti del basso. Grazie di esistere e che la Madonna ti protegga sempre.So nice and lovely. Ciao from Italy.
love these 2 . great dad with a great little lady
So cool to see dad helping out and knowing what to do and how to do it! Well done!
Ellen your laughter is infectious!
God has blessed you with that one in 10 Million that can do and understand how to groove.And you have a great dad you're a little seed that will grow into huge star.🥁😎🥁.
Es un momento mágico: ver cómo alguien con tanto talento aprende ¡en directo!
Man, I sure got tired trying to keep up! Nice work! It is a joy to watch.
Beautiful practice session. Such a great Father/Daughter chemistry. Ellen, you're learning the basics very quickly! Nicely done.
12:34 I love this moment about minor and major, beautiful lesson from Ellen :)
It's really a pleasure to watch you both together. Keep it up!
Know it, by being it. This is just pure Bliss. Lots of love to you both.
What's impressive is how well she's learning these skills but then she's got a pretty dam good teacher.
So very very talented Ellen 🙌🎸🎼!!! Keep up the good work 💖😊, love hearing you play 🤘🌟🎼
Verry nice to see how the two of you practice, verry inspiring.
This brought back some vocal training from years ago. I haven't thought about the mechanics in a very long time. Seems like eventually you play it without thinking. Thanks for the refresher
What he's showing ain't the funnest stuff but it will help you write what ever you want to write you guys are lucky to share that together bless you guys
You are Amazing, Ellen!
You Go Girl!
You and your Dad are darling together. God Bless!
Making mistakes is how you learn. I notice when you play a wrong note, you instantly recognize that the pitch is off and you correct it. Good ear!
Favorite lesson... so helpful
Touches your ❤️ heart , to see the love between a father and daughter . You are awesome . Blessings.
Adorable and super talented !
This young bassist must be stopped SLAP :) Another fantastic practise session Ellen and Dad
Amazing teacher. Great job
wonderful, thank you both!
This is great method also for guitar lessons. Amazing input, many thanks!
This is so fun practicing with you guys together!
Thanks for sharing this video!
Супер!! Какие вы классные!!👏👏👏👏👏
Вам повезло, дочке с папой, папе с дочей) успехов вам) молодцы
My father would beat us to death for no reason and we have this guy showing us what a real father is.
You, Sir, are a fabulous teacher, I've even learned watching you two! Ellen is an outstanding student who will be a brilliant performer before you know it! Keep practicing and by all means keep listening to other bassist's performances!
Thank you very much!
An inspiration, and entertaining. Great stuff
Excellent teacher ganered out of long experience and giving the best method of learning to her daughter. Amazing combo
Very well done! For parents everywhere! Any one with a musical kid! Helps with a talented kid and a recording studio of course!
You two are so beautiful to see working and having fun together. You are a blessed men. Wonderful chemistry between you two. I love the way she laugh. She is a wonderfull gift and she learns so fast. That reminds me years ago while i was practicing my guitar 5 to 10 hours a day and oftem nore. my guitar was always on me, always.
... a magnificent teacher ang a VERY gifted daughter - keep on - I will be watching you!
Hi Ellen! You are really great. So is your Dad, and aren't you lucky to have him as your teacher! I'm a 58 year old professional bass player and I followed along with the lesson. So good and so much fun! Best of luck to you.
What a giggle you have Ellen!! your very lucky to have a father willing to hand his knowledge to you.
Oh Ellen you are on the path to awesome, Papa understands the technical aspects of music. Use what you were born with, take good advice to polish that natural gift! I cant wait to hear what you come up with when you put it all together.
Ellen, you have improved tremendously. The importance of ear training and music theory can not be ignored. I’m very impressed. I wished I was taught properly at the importance at a younger age. However, It would’ve probably discouraged me and I would had quit. At least you have a good teacher in your father that has proper knowledge. Keep up the good work but have fun at the same time 😇.
I am having a lot of fun watching this and it's also a great ear training for me. Playing Frère Jacques was a pure giveaway and I also got the "C" key later in the video but I still have a hard time figuring out what all the cords are. I wish I was able to learn all this when I was young but all we did was play tunes from a book on a recorder. I think I am now also entitled to have some cake 😁
what kind of charm are you😊
my niece is your age and is also trying to make music - but it's immediately obvious that she doesn't like it very much. You have another thing - you will be a great musician.
This practice is cool. It will help her so much with tonality.
