Ear Training Interval Practice - All Intervals

[@GettingWeirdwithAlan]

You're a fantastic teacher! I love these videos I wish I had this back in school when they were teaching music theory for vocal ensemble. It would've made my life a lot easier lol

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Thank you, yes, I think teaching music theory gets pushed to the wayside in favor of performance preparation in a lot of school music ensembles. But it's the grammar of the music language! And knowing it gives us the authority to make certain choices in performance. So I think it's important to know. 😊

[@GettingWeirdwithAlan]

Stephanie Douglass Agreed!!

[@ShadowNinja-ih5nb]

Thank you.

[@the-troll-dad5583]

It is much harder to identify the stacked intervals. Also, after a while I feel like the ear or the brain gets tired because I managed to convince myself a third was a seventh.

[@ShpookyMetal]

[@Uglybuttfiend]

I've done the same thing. Glad I'm not the only one.

[@ghosty_whosty9986]

at some point i thought an octave was a p5 and vice versa. i think i need a break

[@nomvuselelophoswa2000]

Relatable

[@PoleFishin]

It’s almost a third if you invert it down.

[@visitur4914]

Whew, the descendings kicked my butt. Still, I'm showing definite improvement overall! Thanks again for these great workouts!

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

I'm so glad you've found them useful!

[@loadstone5149]

Same, I aced the ascending but the descending always sounded so minor

[@michellec3871]

I got an ad before this about how interval training is useless hahaha I skipped it XD thanks for the video!

[@angel-fp6un]

Wow me too !! I skipped it right away..

[@808mike]

Free Webinar bullshit 😒

[@acromatic0189]

Same

[@cecilebate7617]

Skipping the ad does not actually help the owner of this wonderful video.

[@bignutsac1133]

I'm auditoning for all state choir in a month and this is SO HELPFUL i wanna get better and quicker at intervals so im not standing there for 30 seconds not knowing what it was, so thank you

Watching this on the bus before my exam ✨

[@edsondeoliveira9485]

I totally agree when you say: "music theory (= ear training) ...is the grammar of the music language and that knowing it gives us the authority to make certain choices in performance."

[@b-sandmusic7918]

I had an 8 year gap between undergrad ear-training courses and finishing my masters, so my ear-training ears have become very rusty. Videos like these have helped me to get my aural skills back and feel more confident applying for Theory/Aural Skills positions. Thank you!

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Make the most of your practice time and do this in the car!

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

That's an awesome idea! Practice your intervals on the treadmill ;)

[@BinaryIdioms]

Great idea

[@bee45rpm]

Practicing in the car is my latest commute!

[@tammyrobinson6409]

I really really like these! I have trouble hearing M7 at times. I’ll keep working at it. Thank you 😊

[@rift3829]

Same m7 and m6 always throw me off

[@hik225]

Same

[@ImNaviar]

“Take on Me” has that M7 that then leads to the root, an octave up. Every time I hear that interval I hear the sweet sounds of A-ha.

[@emanhacker]

The song the entertainer is a minor 6th and the Major 7 is the take on me song from the 80s if you can hear that!

[@Jeuro38]

To me it is EXACTLY the train horn sound (at least french trains) before entering a tunnel

[@camjuzdowski2703]

Today is gloomy, so I’m resting my eyes in bed listening to this to feel productive 🙌🏻☺️

[@image30p]

Very helpful! One would like to quickly reference the sound of the interval. Here they are nicely ordered. Thank you!

[@ilianos]

Thanks a lot! This should be pinned! 🙂 I wish someone made the same for the other categories (stacked/block) as well.

[@lacrimosa3601]

thank you

[@KonejoTuba]

Please make more of these. All mixed, descending ascending and block intervals. This is such great help for my daughter that is studying to be a music teacher and also for me. Getting that ear sharp is what it’s all about. Thank you for taking your time to do these. Please more like this video. Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you! I am now master of church music in Finland thanks to you. You are great! Amen.

Glad it was helpful!

[@karolinalux2977]

WHAT NO WAY!!! SHERDBERT?!! I was searching for a video to give my students and I found this and was like THIS IS DOPE...then I saw it was you! Congrats!!!! xoxoxo

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Yeahhhh it's me! For some reason I have a famous ukulele channel and I don't know how this happened!

[@katiebarnhartpercussion]

This is really helping me study for college ear training, thank you!

[@visitur4914]

Wow, I crushed it today! Only missed one descending and only missed seven overall (90.2%). A really big jump from just a few days ago. It felt like something clicked, especially on the descendings. Stephanie, this might be an ambitious request, but as something to consider: if there were a way incorporate both ear training and reading notes into a single test or exercise, I think that would be amazing. Many KZbin tests include a piano keyboard (anyway, I'm learning guitar), but I haven't seen one that uses a staff. My mom is extremely musical, and when I told her I was working on ear training, she recommended combining it with reading music. I don't even know how that would be done, exactly, but I will be looking for it on KZbin once I've completed at least one of the ear training tracks that I'm working on now.

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Hey, nice work! I've thought about doing something like this before. Or maybe a sight-singing video, where you see the interval and I give the beginning pitch and the student sings the next one and sees if it matches. I'm sure I have some means of producing graphics for something like that, but it would take some time for me to figure it out. Hopefully I'll have some more time to play around with that concept when school gets out.

[@visitur4914]

@@StephanieDouglassMusic Thanks! Sure thing. No expectations on my side; I just thought I'd mention it since you asked for suggestions. Good luck this semester!

[@lawrenceserrao958]

For a beginner everything sounds the same this video is excellent to distinguish between specific sounds with names, Thank you ❗️love this presentation 🙂

[@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim]

I would love to see a video like this but with solfege. For instance, listeners might guess "Do to Mi" rather than "M3". Thanks for this great video! It helped me a lot in studying!

[@vishnaiva]

This is a great exercise. Thank you. I just want to make a sugestion: after the answer is given, you could say what notes were played, so that we can start to try to figure out what is the relationship between one example to the next one just from the beginning and maybe know what notes are sounding before you give the answer. ☺

[@kaield4763]

I'm better than I thought I was, but definitely room for improvement. Great video!

Thank you for the free ear training.

[@pianolevel8656]

Nice! This was helpful! I have trouble hearing major and minor 6 and 7s.

[@veliasaldivar4602]

I like hearing minor 6 as “Johanna” from Sweeney Todd, Major 6 as the little “NBC” tune, and minor 7 as “Somewhere” from West Side Story! Major 7 is still tricky for me because I get it mixed up with Tri tones (Augmented 4th/Dminished 5th) for some reason but i try and hear “Take on Me”...it hasn’t really helped though but that’s the only one using those songs hasn’t helped me for

[@marcoborge2128]

Thanks so much for your kindness and proficency. Stay musical, stay alive!

[@chrisbrown865]

thankyou steph helps me with my rock n roll guitar playing

[@DrRaghavanRPanicker]

Namasthe, A very good tutorial. If you can add the notes for each interval example that wd be more helpful for the students. I do appreciate your sincere efforts. It's very kind of you. Namasthe.🙏

[@filipposilva8677]

The major seventh has a very malinchonic, recognizable sonority to it.

[@PeterHontaru]

I absolutely love these videos - thank you very much for taking the time to create this content :)

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Thank you for the kind comment! I'm so glad people are finding this useful!

[@hatcheck100]

The only way I could remember these for exams would be to associate them with songs. Anybody else do this.? Songs I used were Somewhere over the rainbow for an octave , Swing low sweet chariot major third. And a few others .

[@JoseOldenburg]

Very useful to do daily I can feel the progress of my ear getting more in tune with the intervals

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Hooray!

[@Ian_Larson]

These videos are amazing especially right now. I shared this with my Music Theory teacher and she loves them thank you so much.

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Hooray! If you have anything else you need help with, let me know!

Thank you for the ear training video. I had my class listen to it and identify the qualities of the chords. Hope they learned how to listen ascending and descending.

Excellent tutorial. Not sure I got them all right, but I never played too much by ear. I learned to read music young and it becomes a crutch! Hello from Texas L12 S 391

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Frank C. Graves I know exactly what you mean! I find it so useful for teaching though, to be able to look at a score and know what it should sound like. I didn't cover any of the reading aspects in this particular video though. 😁

Very helpful video! I stopped formal music lessons almost 3 years ago and tried this to see how much skill I’ve retained, and it seems like I can no longer distinguish between m6, M6, and m7, and some trouble with TT and M7, but otherwise I’m mostly still fine. Does anyone have suggestions of songs to identify m6, M6, and/or m7?

descending example 14 are the same notes from coltranes i love you, I dont have perfect pithc but they made me start singing the song
