key changes and modulation

[Sandro A]

anybody have any tips on listening for key changes in songs?
i can hear the music 'rise up' but i'm not sure of myself. sometimes its so subtle.

if i hear different music in the bridge, is that a good sign of a change?

thanks.

bridges are always a bit different, but it doesnt necessarily mean that there was a key change. hearing subtle changes in music is really basically a "you have it or you don't" skill. and sadly, i don't have it for the most part.
