Love how this applies to any music; back to the basics. This video is probably the best and most structured lesson I've seen for this.

Thanks, glad to be of help! Absolutely, ear training is important for all kinds of musical training.

I can't overstate just how well you've organized and presented this material. I've been playing guitar casually for over 30 years now, and this video is what finally made these concepts click for me both theoretically and practically.

Great tips: batch learning and only assigning one song mnemonic to each interval. This is really helping me focus without overloading, thanks.

Your tip to focus on one or two intervals at a time is excellent. My problem was I was trying to do 5 or more at a time both ascending and descending.

I have great ears, but only in the sense of large :/

Ha!

You do ask for comments so... I didn't have a method before finding you. Thank you. I practiced trying to learn things by ear but never had a method to it. I've been making and keeping notes to all the relevant content I can find since being able to pick my guitar back up. ( I've been healing from my 9th and 10th spinal surgeries and haven't been able to play anything but my uke for the last year and forget any kind of practice regiment.) One thing that time did do is help me realize that I had a better ear than I thought and could translate it to my uke faster than I thought. I'm relatively new on the Uke but with a low G tenor, I realized I was practicing fretboard knowledge from my 5th fret on up on my high 4 strings. So I kept a Uke next to my bed and recliner and have been noodling around with it as I feel good enough and/hear something and think, I can play that. So now, that I'm able to start getting out and doing some traveling as I had planned to do to celebrate, if and when I recovered enough since that plan has been thrown out the window because of the virus, I spent my travel fund on upgrading my technology and instruments. We're not talking a lot of money here but, to me, it's significant. I also started organizing and really looking at what different online tutorials and courses had to say and to offer for free or at a rate I could justify spending. All the instructors I admire and relate to the best have the basic same methodology of practice and learning and if you know a little theory you can apply these lessons to all genres of music. So far, I have found what you offer for free through different platforms is the absolute best viewing material for my practice journal and challenges. I did spend 10 bucks through TrueFire on 2 recommended courses and those are giving me the right-hand technique practice inspirations. Again, Thank you!!! I hope to eventually be a paying member. In the meantime, I'll be watching across all your platforms and taking notes. Sincerely, Joe Hiestand

Thanks man I'm taking music seriously now , first thing I want to perfectly learn is music theory and perfect my ear pitch . This video was really helpful. Thank you from bottom of my heart ❤️

My pleasure Emmanuel!

I just practised intervals on piano, and I wanted to look for some video

How does this work in practice. For example if I want to sing ascending 4th I can reference a song (Here comes the bride) . But what we need to do is the opposite: Identify an interval we don't know yet. I guess you cycle through your song list until you don't need to rely on it anymore?

Intervals are very important. What about tonal ear training (hearing in relation to a tonal center) ?

I teach guitar/banjo and I couldn't agree more that learning intervals is essential, and more important, being able to reproduce intervals / melodies / rhythms by singing is absolutely fundamental to training your ears; required for playing ANY instrument. You gotta get it in your head before you can pass it along to your hands. However, I have a major nit with your video that I think will make it harder for those trying to learn from it: There's no reference to key. There's an implicit assumption that the reference tone is the tonic/root note of a key. OK so far, but then your song choices blow this out of the water; eg, Someday My Prince Will Come: You use this to demo a perfect 4th interval... true if the reference note was the root, but it's not. In the context of this song, that interval is 5-1; a major 5th interval with the 5 on the bottom. Very, very confusing. Same thing with Georgia On My Mind which you use to demo the minor 3rd: In the context of that song, those notes are the 3 and 5 of the key its in; The upper two notes of the root's MAJOR triad. Smoke On the Water would've been a better choice to demo the minor 3rd. I'd re-work your song choices to always have the reference note as the root. And consider a prerequisite video on keys, tonal center, how to form a major scale, triads, diatonic chords for a key, etc.

My thoughts exactly: a leading tone to Tonic sounds different than a Tonic to b9, or a 3rd to the four, etc., etc. You have to know what scale degree you are starting on and which scale degree you are going to and also what quality of chord is harmonizing the interval. Blue Monk starts on the third of the Tonic (a dominant 7th chord), but he also uses the same figure on the four chord and then repeats the same four note figure on that same chord, starting on the fifth to build tension up to the Dominant 7th (of the 4 chord). And they really all sound different. Melancholy Baby, Swing 39, and Chattanooga Choo Choo use the same devise. I should also add that I spent hours and hours with those taped courses sold in the back of Guitar Player and Keyboard, attended Music school at two different Universities and took the same ear training classes over and over learning solfege and all of that. Nothing worked for me until I got a digital piano I could tune to 432Hz. Then my ears just kinda opened up and I started hearing these intervals in popular songs, but more importantly it wasn't just the intervals but the whole motif and I could tell what scale degree they all started on and the pattern, Like the same pattern of Meditation is the same pattern for Take Five. Now That totally blew my mind.

@@yme3345 Verdi claimed that 432Hz was more natural for the voice, so that put the idea in my mind. I wasn't able to do anything with it until I got a Roland RD-120 stage piano that could be tuned to 432 and also different temperaments. I found that 432 fit my inner ear better. It sounded less harsh. My fingers went to the correct notes more often when Improvising. It was almost like having a semblance of Perfect Pitch. Since then I have experimented with 415 (German tuning) and also tried tuning without a reference (except what sounded best) on my violin while using Pythagorean temperament on MuseScore. What I've found out is that it is actually the Temperament that is important to me on Violin. The strings and everything just work better at 440Hz. On the piano my new Roland FP-10 doesn't offer change of pitch so no way to go forward. I did struggle for a very long time just to get a decent relative pitch. I think it would have been easier with 432Hz.

God bless you :,)

I've always wondered if there is any research out there on amount and type of practice vs level of proficiency or levels of acquisition.

Hi, Brent - nice work! Can you tell me what microphone you’re using?

What does it mean if I need one and a half step to make sure there's a difference in pitch? I had no ear training before, but I determined this as I wanted to start learning music. Is keyboard the best instrument for my case since I need vision more than hearing to determine what I need to play?

You don't have to sing well, just produce the note. Go hide somewhere nobody can hear you and practice intervals, I suggest on a canoe in the middle of a lake, a kayak would work too but you won't have as much mobility to use your legs to produce the notes.

When he says “second note” he means the second E in your transcription. The E to F is the minor second

I never got the point of focusing on descending intervals. For me it seems way, way easier just to recognize the octave pitch of the interval (functional intervals). In other words it's not "down a minor 3rd" it's just a major 6. Is there some reason why someone would need to recognize them in a descending fashion? Perhaps I'm severely ignorant.

I ve challenge music ear problematic

Anyone wo sees this, Wouldnt the same interval sound different in a different scale?

I am 56 year old How can I get ear training. Can I do it please reply

Major Second -> Can't Stop by RHCP (intro)

I don't even wanna learn all this, but considering I wanna go to a conservatoire as a music PRODUCER, it's basically mandatory. like I know it roughly, and know often where I wanna put notes when drawing in melodies, but knowing exactly what interval each is and blah blah blah nope

One problem is that I will associate an interval with a one song, e.g. Major second with "Frere Jacques"... But then I do not recognize that Major Second interval in other songs when the rhythm changes. For example: Silent Night... :--(.

Learn the # system, Also Ear training on intervals will help you learn chords such as major minor aug dim etc. Ear train on chords. If song is doing 1-5-6-4 in C that would be C,G,A,F..You want to be able to pick that up pretty quickly...If you really cant do intervals and your skipping to chords you have a long ways to go alot of people like to skip now day days and all of it works together

Odd rapid tremolo on the piano sounds, and on you voice when you sustain a note

Well, I don't know very well how that kind of hearing works, I suppose is great to have it, but you need to use relative pitch too anyway. Jazz harmony is constantly and quickly changing so you might need to be able to relate a pitch or chord to the tonality it is been played over at any given moment. For example, pitch C doesn't have the same function (or sound) on C major as it has on Ab major. Do you hear an Ab major triad as a Cminb6? I don't think so.

At 11:50 in your video, you state that you are singing a (C) minor 3rd (1-3.) It is actually 3-5 in the key of A flat.

Starts at 4:10

perfect ear app helped for me. Completely free, except some higher levels which you have to pay for to unlock, so I just stopped there. The amount of intervals you can practise there in a logical way is more than enough. That made me near to perfect in identifying intervals between two individual notes, but with multiple chords it also gets more difficult to distinguish. So yeah, that app works.

I might go the hard way bcoz I can learn anything incredibly fast.

You talked way too much to get to the point before showing anything. 2:35 in heard nothing.....

Blablablabla... same shit, different face. Why? Because there's no shortcut.. pratice, enjoy

You lost me at “singing”

How not to hear the right intervals with those big ears of yours ???

I disagree with these theoretical methods, It's much more realist to do it with your instrument. for example : take a scale play the root or any other note of it, then find all the rest from there trying to sing different intervals, sing first then try to find that interval on different place on your instrument. NEXT LVL : keep changing your reference note for intervals you sing. Apply this to any song you learn, try to know by ear what interval you are going to play from the sound only before playing them.

My "pro tip": just play your damn instrument and with time your ears will learn what button/key/string makes which tone. This whole "learn a part of another song to identify the interval" is just dumb. If I learn a new language, I listen to it and speak the words as much as I can. With time I'll get it. I certainly don't think of parts of poems that used a certain sequence of words when I try to learn a new sentance. Also: Good luck trying to do that in real time....

I disagree with these methods and lazy theoretical lay back approaches, with tricks and gimmicks. Its right down to business like Carnatic music teaches it , singing repetitively melodies using interval names and practicing with a set of defined exercises and songs, direct, musical, and methodical. Not talking and talking to the camera or just listening endlessly. You gotta use your body to know yourself then you'll know music. (Otherwise be born gited around musicians and or play for 20 years like most people who dont know how to teach this)
