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
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. 😊
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.
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
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."
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!
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
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 TH-cam 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 TH-cam once I've completed at least one of the ear training tracks that I'm working on now.
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.
@@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!
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 🙏🏻
For a beginner everything sounds the same this video is excellent to distinguish between specific sounds with names, Thank you ❗️love this presentation 🙂
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
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!
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. ☺
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.🙏
I watched this video about two years ago and got a lot of them wrong. Now I got most of them right. I still had some difficulties with the stacked intervals but definitely an improvement.
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
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. 😁
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 .
This is great! Thank you very much for the help! I'm getting a lot better with the ascending. Descending is bad. Stacked is so-so. Seems like I especially have trouble with the sixths. I've improved since working your video though
Yes! I've recorded one on major and minor chords, but haven't worked on putting it together yet. I have one on I-IV-V7 and their inversions, that I uploaded a few weeks back. I'm thinking of also doing one on each kind of 7 chord.
@@StephanieDouglassMusic Awesome, I'll also use that video for ear training. That would be great if you followed through with that video on 7th Chords.
I would like to listen to all the intervals first, memorize them, and then get tested. You ask first what is the interval when I have not heard them. It should be all the way around.
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

Thank you.
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.
I've done the same thing. Glad I'm not the only one.
at some point i thought an octave was a p5 and vice versa. i think i need a break
Relatable
It’s almost a third if you invert it down.
Whew, the descendings kicked my butt. Still, I'm showing definite improvement overall! Thanks again for these great workouts!
I'm so glad you've found them useful!
Same, I aced the ascending but the descending always sounded so minor
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
I got an ad before this about how interval training is useless hahaha
I skipped it XD thanks for the video!
Wow me too !! I skipped it right away..
Free Webinar bullshit 😒
Same
Skipping the ad does not actually help the owner of this wonderful video.

I really really like these! I have trouble hearing M7 at times. I’ll keep working at it. Thank you 😊
Same m7 and m6 always throw me off
Same
“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.
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!
To me it is EXACTLY the train horn sound (at least french trains) before entering a tunnel
Watching this on the bus before my exam ✨
This was sooo helpfull 🥰 thank you💕. It’s currently 2:32 am and watching this before my music aural test 😬
Glad it was helpful!

@@jcdenton616 then don’t use it, i didn’t take my time to write it out for you
Very helpful! One would like to quickly reference the sound of the interval. Here they are nicely ordered. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! This should be pinned! 🙂 I wish someone made the same for the other categories (stacked/block) as well.
thank you
Make the most of your practice time and do this in the car!
That's an awesome idea! Practice your intervals on the treadmill ;)
Great idea
Practicing in the car is my latest commute!

Thank you so much, this helps me a lot when I'm doing ear training !
I'm so glad it can be helpful!
Thank you for the free ear training.
I absolutely love these videos - thank you very much for taking the time to create this content :)

I do appreciate your sincere efforts.
It's very kind of you.

These videos are amazing especially right now. I shared this with my Music Theory teacher and she loves them thank you so much.
Hooray! If you have anything else you need help with, let me know!
Stephanie Douglass thank you, have you ever thought about doing maybe one video for ear training about cadences. Just a thought and 😊
@@Ian_Larson I like that idea!
Stephanie Douglass 😊
thankyou steph helps me with my rock n roll guitar playing
Very useful to do daily I can feel the progress of my ear getting more in tune with the intervals
Hooray!
Great content! Very useful. Thank you and greetings from Germany! :)
Thanks! Your work helps a lot of people!💚❤
The major seventh has a very malinchonic, recognizable sonority to it.
Thank you so much for this. I'm totally screwed for my ap test it seems and these are big help in giving me a chance to pass. 😵💫
I hope it's getting more comfortable!

Well, this is depressing. . . I think I’d be just as accurate if I threw a dart as trying to listen and guess at these.

It is helpful, it is great! Gratitude! Thank you!
Thank you. This video is very helpful.
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
thank you, this is so helpful 🤠
Kiitos!
Thanks!
These were great! Thanks so much!
Thank you! Subscribed.
Fantastic ☺️☺️😂☺️😂!!!!
Glad you liked it!!

Very useful, thank you!!!
Thanks.
Love this!!!
Great video . Thanks!
Thank you Stephanie, very nice. What about triads but starting easy and then adding more complex ones;-) 🙏🏽💫 very usefull
so good!! thank you tons
This is so helpful, thank you. Could you do a video on recognising chromatic chords like dim 7th, aug 6th and neopolitan 6ths?
Somehow I hear a major third in every second one 🤦♂️😂
Merci beaucoup. I find descending intervals are much more difficult for me.
Thanks for this!
Thank you so much!! Very helpful. Any chance you could do just block intervals? Thank you
Thank you for the video. Have you thought about doing one on many chord qualities or chord progressions? I'd appreciate either.
Yes! I've recorded one on major and minor chords, but haven't worked on putting it together yet. I have one on I-IV-V7 and their inversions, that I uploaded a few weeks back. I'm thinking of also doing one on each kind of 7 chord.

Thank you for these
Bruh I got all the ascending right except the octave...
Thank you! Great video :) Can you make a video with Nonen and Dezimen? (I think ninths and tenths in english)
Great lesson, very helpful!
Muy buenos ejercicios!!! Genial para agudizar el oído!
Could you possibly make an all 6th and 7th interval video? Ascending and descending? Thanks!!!
thank you for training
So glad I could help out!
Awesome video :)
thank you very helpful
