Hi. There seems to be a lot of nice people with good knowledge,and so i will come with a stupid question. I dont know a thing about music theory - are the numbers assigned in this video "random" and only meant for you to connect a certain note to a certain number? I couldnt see a clear trend or pattern, but maybe i just have a horrible ear😅
@BrondN
@BrondN Күн бұрын
The 7 numbers are the seven notes of a major scale. So the 1 is the starting note of a major scale (like the "C" in a C major scale), and the 2 is the second step of that scale and 3 the third and so on. Throughout the video the notes that each number is changes, but the "space between" the notes (the interval) stays the same. We are practicing to recognize the sound of these intervals and not the notes themselves.

I have heard a tip for this type of functional ear training which is to try to sing the resolution from the note we hear to the tonic, but this tip seems somewhat at odds w.r.t. what you recommend of just sitting with the feeling. It also doesn't feel like training automatic recognition as it takes some work, almost like summing out a multiplication table exercise instead of memorizing the multiplication tables. Do you think it's good to try to sing the resolution to identify the note? And do you think this is at odds with what you mean by "sitting with the feeling"? Thank you so much for these videos!

From my perspective, resolutions can be helpful in situations where you are confused but, as you say, they are too slow for real time use. Feeling-states, with practice, become immediate, no thinking. That being said, sometimes I get confused and need to resolutions or other tricks to orient myself again.

Been making good progress on the Function ear trainer app, but these synth sounds seem a bit harder to recognise on my first listen. I was getting bored of hearing the same cadence every time, so thinking this drone might be a more efficient way to practice. Interesting how the numbers are arranged in the circle of 5ths. Does that have any application? (I've only memorised the layout with C being at the top).
@maxkonyi
@maxkonyi 4 күн бұрын
Indeed! If you check out my video "Feeling the Major Scale", I go into depth. The short answer is: Degrees which are close together on the circle sound/feel most harmonically similar to one another, whereas degrees which are diametrically opposed sound most different.

@@maxkonyi That makes sense. I'm already seeing the benefit of drone training, I suddenly got a reliable feeling for 6 yesterday (which I often used to confuse with 3). 1 & 5 still trip me up sometimes but I'll get there eventually. Big fan of the channel & looking forward to the app release soon!

I started training interval recognition the "standard way": resolving upwards or downwards to the closest tonic. I try to focus on the feeling but most of the time my brain just "does the math", especially with the 2 and the 7. I do feel something very unique with the low 6 though.
@maxkonyi
@maxkonyi 4 күн бұрын
Resolutions are still useful, just slower. As you gain familiarity with the feeling-states of degrees, that method will take over and resolutions will be used as a backup.

Love how you manage to remove the mysticism of music while retaining the magic of it. Thanks to your earlier videos I can now frequently identify the key of a piece of music by ear - something that seemed like an impossible trick just a few months ago. I have a lot of faith that following your advice here, slowly and step-by-step, will bring other musical 'magic' tricks somehow into the realms of possibility. Really looking forward to giving the app a whirl...

Another form of this is singing the diatonic triads /7ths of the scale over the drone. It helps you understand what the chords within the scale feel like. I do this same exercise with all kinds of scales (natural, melodic, harmonic minor and diminished scales).

My progress report: Been doing this for about 20 mins a day and I think this might be day 14ish. The days are spread over a period of 1.5 months, so I haven’t been really consistent. My most notable perk is that I canola piano sing better! I try to channel the feeling of the note and then it just clicks when I sing. To me I can group the sounds in two main groups. 3, 4 and 7 sounds deserty to me, somehow it reminds me of the desert people of Zelda. 2, 5 to me give me a foghorn/train vibe. But two has more of what 5 has. 1 is 1 6 I struggle with the most, if I’m not able to group the sound in one of the 2 groups, and I know it not to be 1 then it’s 6 to me. Each degree also has its own character it feels like. 2 can really be in your face 3 can sound easy/in balance/perfect to me (especially in higher pitch) 4 feels like a beautiful scream 5 sounds like 1 but doesn’t feel as home 6 ??? Still learning 7 sounds dissonant low, and in balance higher. Will post again!
