Guitar edition out now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWLPf2Snmdd2qrs 32:44 CORRECTION There should be a Db descending to Ab displayed. I inverted the interval by mistake. Sorry!!! Don’t worry- if you are using the audio, it is still 100% correct and valid for ear training purposes. Thanks to DreamPurpleFloyd for pointing it out.

[@katokianimation]

My first tought, omg he should be initiated the to saint patron of relative pitch for this sentence. Such a cool thing to think about.

[@robertmccabe841]

just a comment, I am 76 years old. About 2 year ago, it took a while, but I was able to hear the diatonic intervals at least in the ascending order. However, two years later, and I am having troubles with the same diatonic intervals I learned before. You were right when you said learning intervals needs to part of your life, or leaves much faster than most academic skills. I was a geophysicist professor at Texas A & M. I like teaching, but I was born and raised in Long Island. Texas too me was a moral waste land. Everybody was into church and even though the people spent decades in church, its like they leave what they learned about others at the church door after their sermon. Unless you were in the church, most of people did not like others or where afraid to interact with strangers. I left my tenured position, and decided to go back to school, I spent most of the next 10 years at school. I became a physician, eventually a psychiatrist to allow me to get out of Texas. I want to comment at your course, when you used different instruments, some of the instruments were in the tenor clef region of frequency: something my ears stopped hears ago. I not complaining, just giving you feedback. There is nothing that can be done to grow back my hair cells in my inner ear. I play guitar, that is why I started listening to your web page. Please keep up the great work. You are helping a lot of people trying to learn some new skills. Thank you very much. I really like your sense of humor. Its important to keep the listener engaged learning how to hear notes. What is funny to me, I always thought that music was a field like professional sports; requiring a natural ability. However, as I play a lot of guitar, I noticed that music is not some innate skill. It, like everything else, are skills you acquire (at least of them) by spending time studying, Even our voices get better. I was a physicist and always believed music was a skill that is totally wired from birth. I recently learned, their are some people that have perfect pitch and are good singers. However, lots singers like Eric Clapton was a skill he acquired by playing guitar for nearly 50. He no doubt as natural skills, but practicing music makes one better at hearing music. Music is like all other skills, it requires work, lots of it. Thank you

[@joeluegersmusicacademy]

Great to hear from you Robert, and thank you for sharing your story. My aural skills steadily declined after college because I wasn’t using the skill a whole lot, but now that I’m working on these videos every single day it is better than it’s ever been. I’ve been working on a video that is an hour of intervals played on a classical guitar sound. I’d be interested to know which registers of the guitar you have an easier time discerning. The guitar sounds down an octave so it dives into the bottom of the bass clef on the low e string, but it also some prominent overtones which might make it easier to hear.

[@user-gd2oy4ti4j]

I always had problem with hearing exercises, i find your channel very helpful. Keep up with great work!

[@joeluegersmusicacademy]

Glad it’s helping! I think a lot of people try to jump into the deep end of ear training and it’s too much. With my exercises, I try to ramp up the difficult so gradually that you might not notice it.

[@jeffgarrison7056]

​​@@joeluegersmusicacademy yes, the way you compartmentalize the intervals in groups and separate sections makes it a gradual progression that is easy to grow with. That's a brilliant idea!!! I am guessing you do this with the diatonic scale degrees for key training, too...???

[@joeluegersmusicacademy]

@@jeffgarrison7056Yes I generally try to follow that formula of gradual progression.

Super helpful honestly

[@ntandolugwazi9521]

Attaching feelings, memories, emotions, ideas, experiences and even chord qualities that are evoked by the interval sound, to the interval, helps to recognise the interval.

[@joeluegersmusicacademy]

Singing intervals is definitely the best way to learn them, as well as learning them gradually over a long period of time, so you’ve got the best possible head start.

[@dmitrii839]

I’m just not sure that this training translates well into practice. I mean is it also easy for you to recognize intervals in songs? Does it help you find melodies faster on piano?

[@joeluegersmusicacademy]

@@dmitrii839 You have a good point. Ear training is like physical exercise, where it’s not good to do only one exercise. Functional ear training and sight singing are actually the best forms of ear training, in my opinion, but interval ear training helps you hone in on the distance between notes. In music without a clear tonal center, you really have to rely on intervals. It also helps with figuring out the individual notes of a chord. Any entry-level music theory class with have you pass an intervals test fairly early on.
