Basic Ear Training Exercises and Techniques for COMPLETE BEGINNERS
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you're a complete ear training novice, start with this video. Once you have developed some relative pitch, you'll be able to play songs, hear chord progressions, figure out notes, all by ear without having perfect pitch.

As soon as you said “Now here’s the second note.” I prepared for a single note and closed my eyes. Then an ad started playing of a guy playing a jumpy tune on his piano and I thought, “Is this a trick question??” So I opened my eyes and saw the skip ad button

The biggest secret and most challenging part of ear training is...."CONSISTENCY" .....you have to do it everyday!!!!!!!! the consistency part is where people fail and quit. I know cuz I was one of them. its hard and frustrating and it makes you want to quit. Believe me if you do it every day every day every day it does get easier and you'll be amazed of the results.

I got the G in the first question. Fun, and awesome teaching video, just what I needed. Thank you
I like how you explain it as a new language. Takes the pressure off getting it right away.
This video and you are what I've been looking for...I kept thinking we've got to recognize the SOUND of notes to actually find and play them. And that definitely is like learning a new language. Thank you...for un-complicating this!!!
This is so helpful! I might be able to finally overcome the trauma from when I was in elementary school. Where I live, arts and music are obligatory subjects up until 18 yo, the end of high school. When I was about 10 yo I think, the music teacher was forcing the whole class to write down the notes she played on the piano. She would run through the basic chords first and then she played some random sequence. Of course, the whole excercise was always graded. That was impossible for me then, as was for the majority of the class, and it's still impossible now. I hated music because of that so much, each lesson was so stressful. It was maaaany years ago and I still remember that lessons vividly, the trauma is real.... It seemed very wrong to force kids to do something like that at such age... Your video wasn't stressful at all, I even feel motivated to practice and learn now :) Thank you so much for that!
Great content! Thank you! Looking forward to more beginner ear training videos! Have a great 2021!
Wow! I already do well at recognizing tonal centers for a few of my favorite jazz tunes ( example C minor for Footprints ). But this also is an enormous help. It's in almost deceptively simple and yet effective methodology. I think that I will try it out on relatively simple tunes however
I just started learning the piano and this has truly helped me in recognizing the notes.....Thank you so much for keeping it so simple. Love from Nigeria.
Simple and efficient . Best lesson on you tube , I have been searching a long time .
This video was super helpful! I hope you continued this series, because this made me realize I'm more advanced than I thought. Guess those years of high school choir paid off lol
As a person who always had an issue with understanding notes and sounds because I didn't know how to learn the pattern for that I must thank you. Just at the beginning, with the language metaphor you explained it to me like no-one else. Your way of describing thing is very similar to my thinking and I am really gratefull I've found your YT!

I'm also really struggling but it takes 3 months to 3 yrs to develop relative pitch. I thought i was slower and its just my day 2 😅
My teacher recommended making an association between intervals and a popular song (or one we could make up). Eventually, you'll pick it out super easily Ex: Perfect 4th going up, in every key, is the start of "Here Comes the Bride" Perfect 5 is starwars theme A major third going down sounds kinda like a doorbell So on, so forth. You can find handy charts with other example songs for free online. I would highly recommend still doing the exercises that he suggests though, because they allow you to internalize the sound better and really get a grasp on what you're hearing

Don't do this. It will make it much harder. I tried that for months and yes eventually I was able to recognise those pitches. But was of zero help when trying to find notes in melodies. The method described in this video is the easiest and best way. You need to use your instrument at all times for this. Learning all the intervals two note associations does not help, believe me.

This helped a lot for me , you just have to make sure you put it in music context and remember how the interval sounds in relation To the 1 and in relation to notes that are played in sequence (which is the hard part imo) for ex. 1-4-7 in a min key sounds like two perfect 4th back to back

Excellent training. I have trained my ear to hear middle C. The rest falls into place with repetitive singing. I hope that came out right. Thank you. (Just keep singing)
Nice foundation for building a bigger sound vocab. Thank you!

I realize this is an old video but I still have to drop a comment. I don't usually comment on videos so this is a special occasion. :) It's wonderful to discover an ear training video with "beginner" in the title that is.. actually for beginners. I swear 99.9% of ear training videos in youtube that claim to be for beginners are actually aimed at people who were beginners a year ago.

Your method to identify intervals is pretty good
If playing the piano, it might be good to listen to the interval and then reproduce it on the keyboard, not only try to think for the interval. Why? Because it will train your muscle memory at the same time. You'll train your ear to identify the sound, and your muscle memory to instinctively play that interval. With time, you'll be able to play fast melodies by ear.
Thanks a lot!!! 🙏🚀
Thank you so much!!!😊
Just watched another vid on using soflage. Now on a journey to learn my intervals!

Glad you liked it! Any requests for future ear training videos?
I think it would be more profitable to start with the Harmonic Series. An Octave of C in the Bass followed by the fifth, root, third and fifth in the right hand. this is Still a triad, but the 5th is doubled. These are the four notes of a standard Bugle Call which are prevalent in almost all Western Music. These 4 Notes Frame the Pentatonic Scale, which Frame the Blues Scale. Once you have these notes down you can apply the standard Morphology that Arrangers use, Minor, diminished, sus 9, sus 4, Altered, Sharp 5, sharp 5 to the Ninth ( which Miles uses in Airegin and which the first four bars of the Melody by Sonny outline this Methodology I'm talking about). Ear Training is sort of misrepresented these days because teachers play random intervals without a tonal center. The Harmonic Series just fits the ear like a glove and if you don't start there you are sort of Lost in the woods. The fact that thousands of even tone deaf Soldiers could Learn, Recognize and Respond to a wide variety of Bugle Calls (as many as 100), is sort of embedded in our Musical DNA.
Thanks!

The ability to learn to play a song just by listening to it is usually what drives people to get good at this. Also impressing your non musician freind's by saying you have "perfect pitch. "

Why do all assume you can automatically sing a note in the correct pitch and therefore find it on the piano 😂 I can't sing like shit lol but just hearing the note in your head works too xD

2:50 - Ok, given that the only possibilities were E and G, it was clearly a G. But I don't know if I'd have known that if it could have been any note of C. If F and A had been possibilities... well, not sure.
Wow amazing video and not to sound like a hater. this C d e etc like this will take ETERNAL LIFE..... But better than nothing. Of course this is youtube might not want to give everything here since it needs much work and people might not even watch and follow all you need to give them to perfect their ear, So I get it. good job sir.

Hey, so you said if you've had experience with ear training to check out some of the other videos. Do you have any more advanced ear training videos? I grew up with a basic concept of Perfect Pitch that I developed on my own, and now I want to work on hearing cords, Etc instead of just hearing single notes. Do you have any videos that are about that? If not, do you have any channels you would recommend? Also, just a quick side note I am mostly blind, so I would need something where the instructions are read out loud rather than being text on the screen in the video

Hi Noah! Thank you for this great information. I have a question. I can listen to a favourite song a few times and then have it play back in my head, almost as it it were recorded on tape. I can hear the melodies and instruments like I was listening to it again. This is true even with songs like the Piano riff played by Edgar Winter in the song "I'm Not Sure" on the Second Winter album. I've been told that I have a good ear for music. I am currently learning to play Tin Whistle and want to start with Piano. Is my ability to hear music after listening to it a benefit to learning an instrument?

Hey Donna, yes, absolutely. That ability will likely make it far easier for you to naturally absorb melodies and chords as you are learning. For many people, it can be difficult to get away from the page, meaning it takes a long time to memorize. That means they are always simultaneously reading and working on skills. If you can easily memorize music, you can quickly step away from the page and focus on the skills themselves. Hope that makes sense, and keep up the great work!
