Gradually add more notes restarting practice with wider intervals between them and then also gradually play simultaneous notes close together.Īlso practice with other instruments if possible. Always start with wider intervals and consonant sounds and gradually decrease to closer notes and put dissonances. Then you start putting more notes (triads) and also sing/recognize the middle note. You will see with major and then minor second it becomes more difficult, because of the dissonance and closer notes. Then gradually reduce the interval down to forths, major thirds, minor thirds, major seconds and minor seconds. You have to recognize lower and upper notes compared to a cadence or a given key note (it is always about relative pitch practice). Also practice dictation, ie ask someone to play harmonic intervals (two notes at the same time). Play harmonic intervals with the guitar (two notes at the same time) and then sing the lower and upper note. Should practice this in paralel with the first melodic practice. This sharpen the ear to be selective for different frequencies and it becomes more accurate for percieving individual notes. After some practice, for the advanced student, change the cadence to simply playing the key note as a reference (this is a feature of The Functional Ear Trainer software).Īnother important practice is to recognize notes played simultaneously. In each melodic dictation drill, you play in a different key, but always play a cadence (I-IV-V-I or I-II-V-I) before the melody, you help giving a better clue of the key/scale before the drill. (ie after you master molodies which include Seconds and Thirds, you add Fourths and so on up to the Octave) The same for other leaps.Īfter you master singing, ask someone to play melodies within the interval restriction and you practice dictation.Īfter you master singing and dictation you go to next step, which is increase another step leap. With practice, stop thinking the (D) in between. In the second example, for the first C-E you think C-(D)-E, and sing C-E. You gradually speed up until you don't need to think the notes in between anymore.Įxample of a melody with may include a Third: When there is a leap, you start practicing slowly, you think the note in between the leap in your head first, but you only sing the target note. With restriction of no scale leaps It is easier because there are always simple steps down or up inside the scale pattern.Īfter you master scale melodies of single steps (intevals of a Second), you add the interval of a Third, which means you may jump one note of the scalar stepwise melody. You can ask someone to play melodies with the restriction of only melodic intervals of a Second and you try write them down by ear. You can learn to sing this with the guitar. Then you practice singing and recognizing simple melodies without scale leaps, ie only melodic intervals of a Second.
The brain quickly memorize the steps of the scale. There is a solfege method that works too, IMO, which is similar to Functional Ear Trainer method, and more or less similar to 2handband style. In pre-digital ages there was the solfege. How did they do this in the pre digital ages? Seems like there should be a systematic way of going about this without sitting in front of a monitor. Might be a flash player issue but I can't seem to get that either.

Maybe should try out the free android version, if you have a device with android or you can also use an android emulator in the computer.īugDog wrote:I can get to the site but can't download.

Software I've mentioned was developed using "flash", maybe it is about flash plugin updates or version conflicts. This is the functionality that makes the huge difference, this is what makes Functional Ear Trainer the one that really works, in my humble experience.
It doesn't have the method of the cadence and the stepwise repetition to "imprint" the interval recognition in the brain of the practicioner.

It seems a simple trial and error of intervals, scales etc. If anyone else has the same problem, then try this link: I tried this link, but the web site didn’t work on my computer.
