Hi Ryan-The M6 down is tricky! Once you get these down, you have them forever. It's creating the algorithms in your brain. Once they are there, it's like riding a bike. Most people don't know how to practice them or don't do quite enough to lock them down. once you get through all 7, do them everyday in a row for a couple months and you will be able to hear and play anything. Thanks! Rick

Hi Rick !!!! Thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge freely with us, very interesting, and I loved the contest your made few weeks ago, very challenging. If i write you today is because I have two questions : 1. In your Q&A video you start talking about the books you would recommend and then watching at the comments you don't finish the sentence. I would like to have a reference book for Harmony Analysis if possible from Middle Age to Jazz. Does such a book exists? (Also it would be great if you could do some video analyzing the harmony of some great jazz tune, for instance, Stella by Starlight or Naima, the harmony of those tunes are fascinating) . 2. I am actually watching this video of ear training lesson 2 and I was asking myself if I can sing the process to get to the interval. For instance, to sing the interval of a tritone up I sang first a perfect fifth up and then a minor second down. Is it ok to do it like this or better to sing directly the desired note? Thank you for your time Mat

Thank you very much! This is very good. However I have a question. If I am not able to identify the interval in the first place, how do I sing it? Could you please provide a method for absolute tune deef people like me? I have an electric keyboard at home. Thank you again, brilliant video.

Am i right that there was no m6 in here? Any reason? :)

Just to make sure: When you say 'minor 2nd down', does that simply mean the order of the interval notes are reversed, i.e. let's say the root is C, then you would start on the C#/Db and I would expected to sing the C? Or is it more complicated than that?

@roryookane

Your example is correct. Though it might be simpler to think of an interval as just a certain number of semitones, without bringing roots into it. So a minor 2nd is just one semitone away, whether up or down.

hey, a question regarding the M6 - let's say i'm not able to sing the sound instantly like I can do the other intervals - would you recommend me singing the m3 and than transpose it or should i strive to learn how to sing it without this little "cheat"?

Hi Rick, thanks so much for all your videos, they are great. Just a question. I've been working on intervals for a while now and I started making progress by learning a certain song that starts with that interval (like "away in a manger" for the perfect fourth). The question is do you think this is a good idea? And, how long should it take, practicing 10/15 min a day to lock the intervals in your head?

@questionman5

7 жыл бұрын

You didn't get an answer but.... I would recommend against it. Ultimately, you want the recall to be instantaneous, and if you're having to recollect some reference song, it's going to take extra time. Eventually your brain will associate the interval with a "feeling," almost like a "personality" of that interval. The reference song method feels, to me, like a crutch that keeps you reliant on it for too long, when you should be focusing on just forming the automatic connection and association in your brain between the interval and the feeling of that interval. It will be harder to learn at first, and may feel like you aren't making progress, but you need to give the brain time to form the new neural pathways. And teaching it to remember another song every time, doesn't seem like the best strategy long-term.

Thanks for your reply! I know what you mean, but I thought the idea was that eventually you don't think about the song, that's just at the beginning. However I find that identifying intervals in between melodies a LOT harder. I mean I can instantly recognise a major third, but if I hear a melody and somewhere there's a leap I really struggle to identify it as a major third, even though I do it instantly on its own. My intuition is that there's more work to do after you can identify intervals quickly on their own and the question is, how to approach that second phase. The answer might be "you haven't learnt properly if you've done the song thing" but I don't think that is a big problem, providing you get past the "having to sing the actual song stage".

Guitar paintings This is just a theory, but I can't see why it shouldn't work: Now that you have intervals from note 1 to note 2, chunk your intervals into larger groups. Start with 3 notes. Pick a solo or song you know, and try to go through it in 3-note chunks without stopping on each pair. Likely, note 1 to note 2 will be easy for you to identify, but note 2 to 3 will be much harder. Don't stop to directly compare 2 to 3, though; just listen to it as the 3-note grouping and try to name both interval jumps in one go. I feel like this will get your ear listening in a more linear fashion than if you give it discrete intervals. Maybe Rick can chime in on this though.

Thanks, that sounds like good advice. I have been working with an ear-training app that plays random three or four note melodies and I made some progress but still I'm way too slow. I find my fingers (my intuition instrument-in-hand) do it much quicker than my mind, but my fingers are quite prone to error. I don't know if the idea is that doing the "mind-work" gets the fingers better and better or that the mind has to get up to speed and that takes a long time.

People have always told me I have a natural ear for music, but no one in my family is musically inclined and knew what to do to help me develop it. I was very surprised that I was able to answer about 75%-80% of these correctly because you totally lost me in the 101 video! (or so I thought...)

Being dyslexic I literally can't comprehend written music at all, even less so when it's read out, you might as well be talking Japanese, when you say Minor 3rd down, I literally have no idea which note that is, I can work it out, but it would take several minutes and a guitar. Or I can just wait to hear the note and repeat it, but that totally defeats the point, so these lessons would be much more beneficial for someone like me and I'm sure there are plenty of us, if you could either illustrate the notes on the screen, or simply say how many semitones in which direction is needed.

@questionman5

7 жыл бұрын

Interesting. Is it impossible for you to make the connection that "minor third" is 3 semitones, etc.? If not, it just means you will take longer. But the interval, while it starts by counting the spaces, eventually becomes more of a feeling where you don't need to count the spaces between notes. So, I'd imagine that with dyslexia, it should still work similarly, in that you can feel how many semitones away you are. As long as you can learn what each interval is in semitones, I feel like this would work.

@LukeGibsonSS

7 жыл бұрын

It's been so long since I made that comment I have no recall of which part I was actually referring to, but I'm certain that is was more complicated than that.... Besides... If a Minor third was simply equal to 3 semitones, which I'm fairly certain is wrong, what would be a Major third? My music theory isn't great, but I've been a somewhat competent guitar player for the better part of 2 decades, so I'm fairly sure I'm correct when I say "third" is the 3rd note in the scale, so the amount of semitones required to reach it is variable depending on which mode of the scale you're playing in. i.e. Dorian (Natural Minor) or (Ionian) Major. But I believe my protest was, "minor third down from what?" A third, or any interval requires a reference, to have any meaning. If you were to think of it in terms of distances, then I walked up to you and said "My room is one third the length..." What would you say? I'm sure you reply would be "One third the length of what?", until I tell you what my reference point is, it could literally mean any length; a metre, a mile, a mountain range, The Universe... see? Of course music theory is much more simple than the complexities of spatial dimensions, with a fairly reasonable odd of 1 in 12 of getting a note right just by singing notes at random. But for a video like this where he's just simple expecting you to keep up, seems like his approach would work only to hinder the learning process by requiring the brain to focus on processing music theory, instead of purely on the hearing aspect. The guy might be a talent musician, but he's a very poor teacher, I used to have a teacher like him in college, a class full of early 2000's Emo/Rock kids, few older than 18, some not long picked up an instrument and he's at his white board ranting about the fridjian, vs pentatonic minors and blah blah blah. Only reciprocating with the 3 or 4 student out of 30 odd that had classical training growing up, while oblivious that the other 80% of the class didn't have a clue what he was talk about. Even the kids that did understand felt his style of teaching was obtuse and difficult to learn anything of value. To me it just doesn't make sense to try and teach a skill that is primarily based on improving hearing, by adding unnecessary obstacles. It's scientifically proven that the brain's ability to learn and take on new information is reduced exponentially with every extra task it has to do. By forcing those who don't already possess a keen musical ear and understanding of theory to have to learn those things before being able to understand the information they're being given, he's setting the bar for entry at a level that is off putting to his strategy to say the least.

@kylebush5529

Actually a minor 3rd is always 3 semitones. A major 3rd is 4 semitones. When refering to a number with a quality (major, minor, perfect, augmented, or diminshed) the number of semitones will always be the same regardless of the key. In the video Mr. Beato is playing intervals without any key signature. Even if he were to be in a specific key signature a minor third would still be correct. He is not adding unnecesary obstacles, but actually making it the simplest possible by associating a specific interval with a specific sound. A minor 2nd is one semitone, a major 2nd is two semitones, thirds are listed above, a Perfect 4th is 5 semitones, a diminished 5th is 6 semitones, a Perfect 5th is 7 semitones, a minor 6th is 8 semitones, a major 6th is 9 semitones, a minor 7th is 10 semitones, a major 7th is 11 semitones, and an octave is 12 semitones. Regardless of the key these relationships are always constant. A minor scale sounds minor because the third note of the scale is a minor third away from the root while a major scale is major mostly due to the the third note being a major third away. Also the natural minor is actually the same as the aeolian mode. Mr. Beato is a fantastic teacher who spends much of his time creating these fantastic videos for us that are very informative and very easy to follow. Please do not insult his teaching skills because you were mistaken. If you are having trouble following this theory either do some research or he should provide other videos on more of the basics.

Luke Gibson I understand your argument, and I used to be convinced of it, too. But you should be aware that the stance you expressed in fact doesn't make much sense. Yes, in general, the more processing the brain does, the slower it is. However, most musicians are not consciously thinking "major third, minor second, aeolian, Dorian" while they play. You're saying that music is primarily a skill based in hearing, and therefore theory doesn't help it, but the aural component is in fact what music theory develops. To explain what I mean, let's use your analogy of feet. Imagine you had no word to describe the concept of length, and I asked you how big your room is. You could give relational descriptions (eg. "Bigger than a bed", "pretty big", etc.) but you would be unable to even give me an estimate in units. Obviously, while you understand the concept of "feet," even trained architects would be unlikely to get the exact dimensions based on sight alone. However, knowing the terms "feet" and "yard", "mile," etc. gives your mind a sense of scale and rough proportions, which allow you to base your estimate on a defined system. So, you can provide a rough estimate that "My room is 10 feet long," or "That man is about 5.5 feet tall." Yet, without the concept first understood on a defined level (eg. the exact definition of a foot, which you learn for example by using a tape measure), your brain has nothing, no concept, to which it can relate these approximations. The larger your vocabulary, in any field, the better your brain's instinctive mapping of the world becomes. And music theory is the vocabulary for describing the landscape of music. Words like "octave," "dissonance," "tension," "harmony" -- all are powerful aids to your brain in the conscious, but also subconscious, processing of what is musically happening in a piece of music. Without them, a listener would likely become aware that a certain song makes them feel happy, or sad, uneasy and anxious, etc., but they really wouldn't be able to tell you much more about why. Only with additional vocabulary is the identification of specific elements in the music possible. Just like you aren't actually measuring feet with a ruler when you size up a person, you don't think consciously in these terms, but they undoubtedly contribute to your observation and understanding of music in real time. For me, having the concept of intervals has helped me to intuitively feel a "major third" or "minor second." While I was aware before of some "distance" between notes (because of my guitar and piano playing, I saw it physically and felt it in general), my intuitive recognition of them has improved dramatically ever since I started studying music theory and learning the names of these concepts. My intuitions are much more precise. You can, of course, play as I did, and play pretty well, without these concepts rigorously defined. But your playing and understanding will be taken to much greater heights as you study it more. By the way, in case the comment above me was not clear (no offense meant to the commenter): These concepts are rigorously defined. Intervals, such as major/minor seconds and thirds, are related only by the distance between notes -- not by the modes they are in. So eg. a minor second is one fret up, always, regardless of what key or mode or anything you are in, or even if you are not in a set key at all. Music theory is very scientific in this way, organized so that it applies universally and can be adapted to fit any musical landscape. (Maybe with the exception of Indian music, etc.) Additionally, regarding the video, this one is focused on really high-level, advanced concepts which I had trouble following. It expects a lot of intuitive familiarity with the topics Rick Beato discusses, but he is in no way a poor teacher because of this. It would be like sitting down in an advanced mathematics or physics class and claiming the teacher is bad, simply because the student is unfamiliar with the concepts. I would highly recommend going to some of Rick's other videos on his channel, and watching the more introductory videos. Even those are, by no means, basic -- even the simple stuff is explored very thoroughly by him, and well worth watching even if it seems, at times, rudimentary.

Count the semi tones yourself. This doesn't have anything to do with you being dyslexic, you just don't understand any music theory. Go learn some, what you are talking about is very simple stuff.

where`s the next five chapters???? :O

Stopping each note before you play the interval I found each note wihtout fail. You could also do it backwards and play two notes spearately and I can tell you the interval if you like, but I've been able to do that sort of thing since I was about seven. One thing that gets me about intervals is that if you go a major sixth down you are going to the minor third of the notes scale and to find it you need go down to a note of the minor triad to find the major sixth, this is why I think intervals were designed to stack in one direction (low to high) logically only from any given tonic.

Seen similar things many times and still don't get the point of singing intervals down. Especially the big ones. E.g., singing an M7 down ends up being a m2 up in most cases (whether or not actually going an octave lower). Same with 6s, 5s, etc...

@RickBeato

Hi Greg- If you are trying to plat a melody by ear and an interval goes down by a M7, how to you sing it? You need to be able to install;y recognize the sounds on intervals in both directions because melodies don't just ascend. This is for sight singing, playing a line you hear in your head, transcribing solos etc. A M7 down is not a m2. It may be the same notes but you need to be able to sing it because a melody line keeps moving with no time to make relational observations. You simply need to be able to sing intervals in both directions. Descending intervals are more difficult because most people just practice them ascending.Thanks! Rick
