I remember them and played them transpozed to get the feel of it in all keys just in case. Like perfect fifth descending is first two notes of game of thrones, minor 3rd ascending is first two notes of Stairway to Heaven etc. sounds like.Īlso I remember most of the intervals by songs. After doing that for a while to a lot of songs while analyzing the notes and relationships between the notes, I got the basic idea of what intervals chords etc. I started ear training unconsciously when trying to identify bass notes of a song then chords then melody from ear.
The only two notes that are missing is the tritone and that makes it really easy to fill in the blanks without having to theorize it to death to guess! Its a lot easier and then all tonal sight singing lines up as you have those 5 really solid and easy to learn sounds which are also very common to more melodies than you can imagine until you can hear them. The thing that worked for me is to learn to sight sing within the Pentatonic scale. You should try to look around and find a better way to increase your "in the zone" state to a more reliable means. Fortunately later, I leaned a method from Zoltan Kodaly and then things became much easier. Excellent Theory but did not push ear training as much as they should have.īut they did present it to us and I did not spend the time necessary to do what they recommended so its mostly my fault. I had a similar experience but not as bad. It sounds like you did not match up with a good ear training program. I am sorry you had such a bad experience. I don't know what aspect of melodic triads is difficult for you, so I do think it'd be interesting to try harmonic triads to see if that gets easier or harder. There are all kinds of different mental skills that go into ear training, and everybody's brain is different. Stuff that's unthinkably easy for 70% of people seems impossibly hard to 10%. One thing that you discover when you teach ear training to other people is how diverse their strengths and weaknesses can be. "Supposed to" isn't a super helpful perspective. Exercises that come at the same task from different angles will help you reinforce what you're learning.Īre melodic triads supposed to be difficult for people to "hear"? (There are other options, so this is best considered from the perspective of major/minor/other.) And you might want to take some time singing chords, so that you have a sense of what it feels like to produce the notes. So for example you might spend some time listening to examples of real music (like this for example) and ask yourself if you can tell when chords are major or minor. You might find that an easier place to start, yes! It's also a good idea to reinforce your ear training by doing different kinds of exercises, especially ones that are more real-world and active.
