Beginner Ear Training Part 1 - Relative Pitch - One Octave Intervals.mov

In this video, I take you through a series of simple intervals. I give you the starting pitch of "C" and then you have to name the next note I play. This wont be easy for everyone, but keep up the hard work and eventually you should have no problem learning music by ear!

I have that book and I have seen that page in the book, though a music teacher in college did mention that an octave ascending can be heard in Sowhere over the rainbow. As in "some - where ".

[@NoahKellman]

Sure! I actually have some more advanced ones. Have you checked them out? There's an ear training playlist.

[@trihorus]

Man, I still struggle with the full notes. Not ready for sharps or flats.

[@Elena-dq5ev]

lmao yeah i need an even more beginner one

[@idowusamuelabel]

@@Elena-dq5ev😂 with you on that

[@NoahKellman]

Very true. "The Jazz Piano Book" by Mark Levine has good demonstrations of intervals that can be found in famous songs.

[@geraintballinger5654]

Is there any chance that you could make some more/more difficult ones? They are very useful, thanks!

[@gralkajt]

I agree. One stumbling block students have with this type of exercise is that they try to learn intervals based off of some tonic (more than often C), whereas they should be learning to recognize intervals. Some will disagree, but I find that using solfège syllables is more helpful for establishing a relationship between note names and intervals between particular keys. The exercise is on relative pitch and not perfect pitch, so knowing which notes specifically are being heard is less important.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

J.T. Gralka which solfege do you subscribe too key center or movable.

[@gralkajt]

@@PIANOSTYLE100 I use movable Do. (Sorry it took me over 5 years to get back to you, btw! )

​@@gralkajt5 years is wild😂😂😂...rather late then never 😂😂 I guess.....but please elaborate

[@NoahKellman]

I gotcha. I'll get some more advanced ones up there soon!

[@PIANOPHUNGUY]

By knowing a famous song that has that ascending or descending interval it may be easier to give an answer to those questions.

[@cuddlymike]

These type of exercises should be called ear testing. Training needs to be done first to internalize intervals. This is just like aural classes I'v attended, where a very few are ticking over with what they already know and the rest aren't really getting anything out of it. You need to have some system of training. Singing is a good way of internalizing intervals just as you learn a language by using it. Learning by testing alone will be frustrating.

Brilliant work, Noah - this vid's not difficult, for me, but the 4-note chords spread out give me trouble; need more practise on those. But already the progress after doing them twice is there!
Excellent training

[@puppersissage8640]

hi is there a way to improve better? cause normally i'm like a Semitone off sometimes a tone but i get pretty close but not quite

[@xandarmecky9705]

You were this young

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

I can play by ear rather well pick up songs fairly fast but not all read music at low int. level.. working on that. think I will be int. in a year.. I am poor at ear training. any common mistakes that people make.. I recognize. the c g f missed the eflat minor third..

[@gralkajt]

It was A natural.

Thanks Noah!

[@goktugduran6548]

Thanks

[@geraintballinger5654]

Oops, I meant to write that on the most advanced one! :P

[@TheGozalus]

Is it my imagination or did he skip on giving the answer of the second to last exercise???

[@bibliobibulified]

Won't that be an F#?

[@philippe2210]

@@bibliobibulified it was A natural which is crazy

[@lavoxii]

If you made this for beginner. It’d better start without using sharp and flat.

[@losijana]

Oh god I'm pretty terrible....starting to feel hopeless...;-;

[@NoahKellman]

Keep practicing!

[@losijana]

Thanks.:')
