Thanks for description of naming of full diminished and half diminished chords. Has been a mystery. This is quite a thought provoking video. Takes me to a musical place I haven't been before. Thanks Dan.🕷

Personally I believe this is a rudimentary and essential lesson. Thanks Dan. I like to divide 12 intervals into two groups roughly : group1 as “harmonious” group and group 2 as “dissonant” group. Group 2 (not ear pleasing) consists of m2, m3 (or b3), b5 (tritone) and M7. Group 1 includes M2, M3, P4(perfect 4th), P5(perfect 5th), m6, M6, m7 and Oct. I also associate each interval with a song. For example “Perfect 5th” I associate with “Star War” theme song while Triton or b5 I associate with London police car siren, etc. Much appreciated, Dan. Waiting for the Part 2. By the way I love the graphic of this video kind of witty. 👍🥰
Thanks for watching Andrew. Your method works well also. I like it. Song association is very useful indeed. I like the police car connection! Good one. Glad you like the AI-generated thumbnail! :) Doesn't give me any more views than no thumbnail but it's witty enough, as you say :) Best, Dan
Finally some ear training:) I cannot wait for part two! I'd be interested to hear your take on ways to recognize chord progressions. Cheers ! ps: I noticed David Bennett's latest video was about ear training as well and it was published at exactly the same time as yours:)
Thanks for watching. I honestly don't communicate with or look at other piano channels so that's a funny coincidence. I used to do so many years ago but I would get frustrated and/or disappointed with what I was seeing so I stopped doing it (!) and just focused on my own content and subscribers! I hope you find useful tips everywhere you look, though, and that this video helps you too! Best, Dan
@@danthecomposer Yes I can imagine. Don't worry, although I do sometimes check and learn things elsewhere you're channel is far better, broader and focussed at the content. That is why I actually am happy with you doing some ear training which I couldn't find here up till now. Thx Dan!
@@delaysid Well thank you! Of course the algorithm dislikes me because I don't show my face, I don't use fancy graphics and I don't change camera angles but I will refuse to change because I know the ones who find me and stay are the ones I truly want to help and I know they will go far, such as yourself. So thanks for being part of this and thanks for your words!
Ah, well, as I said in the video somewhere, that's your homework! I just focused on the main notes major scales otherwise the video would have got too long. Thanks for watching. I hope you'll enjoy the meditative, inward-looking method I propose and play around with those intervals in different keys, which also drills major scale mastery (since if you don't know the major scales, you can't find the altered notes!)
Because an interval ascends. If you descend an interval, it’s the inversion of ascending it so if you stay ascending all the way through, you cover everything. A to C for example you would learn as the feeling of a minor, whereas C to A would be a 6th feeling. The minor from C would be to Eb whereas Eb to C would feel as a 6th. This is just the mastery phase. Eventually, you’ll hear one interval in both directions and choose which is most logical based on the key or context. Hope this helps!

6:08 - A 6th used to be referred to as the 'square chord' (as in unhip)!

@@danthecomposerthank you for your persistence and perseverance.
So, what about minor intervals? Thanks for the great video!

And what about moving down from the root, rather than moving up? I wonder why we always move up to demonstrate.
Because an interval ascends. If you descend an interval, it’s the inversion of ascending it so if you stay ascending all the way through, you cover everything. A to C for example you would learn as the feeling of a minor, whereas C to A would be a 6th feeling. The minor from C would be to Eb whereas Eb to C would feel as a 6th.
