I really cannot thank you enough. These videos are wonderful. I am ashamed to say that I’d grown a bit lax in my ear training over the past few years but these videos are getting me back on par. Thanks again.
Your videos are so helpful, I only started a week ago and I’ve improved so much since I started watching your videos, thanks so much for making these videos! :)
Thank you for all these ear training videos! They've been excellent practice and very helpful. I'd also find it hugely helpful to hear some diatonic chord progression/changes practice. Hearing, for example, a I-V-vi progression and being able to identify that based on intervals and chord quality (major, minor, or diminished). I would find that helpful practice to apply things like interval identification when listening to music
Thanks so much. This is perfect for me while I’m driving in my car. I should have mastered this at school but just one video with you got me closer to getting them all right. Such a great help
Hi, I love the training videos! It's great that the answers are given verbally so the entire exercise can be done using only headphones. I wonder, would you be interested in making similar videos for identifying All Triad Qualities, In All Inversions and the same for Seventh chords? Either way thanks so much for the great videos!
Dear Stephanie, many thanks for posting this and letting me practice my intervals! Perhaps it has already been stated, however example 20 of block intervals (ca 28:30) you play a perfect 5th, something that is reflected in the displayed answer, however say it's a perfect 4th. I could imagine these videos take a lot of precise and diligent work, so don't take this comment as a nit picky old stranger dunking on your work, more of a heads up in case you'd like to correct it. Thanks again! I'm going back into it, need to get those descending down
the video was so helpful! it would be great if you could do a scale and mode listening test. on scales such as blues, major, harmonic, maj and min pentatonic, natural, harmonic and melodic minor. and modes like mixolydian, dorian and lydian. have an exam coming up and it would be so much help and amazing if you could!! Love your videos :):):)
Thanks for the good job! If I can express a wish, it would be nice if you published a video on small phrases (3-4 notes) to be recognized by ear. I never found a video like this on RUclips and it would be very helpful to progress on ear training after the basic exercises you have already published with such a poetry.
I will be putting out some new ear training videos in the near future - relating to sight singing, but I'll be mentioning intervals a lot. I think I have two others like this, where I play examples and you can guess them. Search my channel for "ear training intervals."
Hello Stephanie! Thanks for the video lesson. It's a good one for music students and for keeping trained ears fresh. I noticed a mistake in block chords example 20. Definitely a P4, which you say it is, but the video part incorrectly reads P5.
Yours are great tests, but I find myself actually training on my own at guitar or piano. Any thoughts to something like " here are some thirds and a fourth, can you pick it out?" then " Some thirds, fourths and a fifth, can you pick it out?" Etc. Also, saying the number of each example encourages me to cheat myself when I repeat your quiz . I associate numbers and intervals. I can close my eyes for the printed numbers. I'm already getting better. Have you been through all this before with your students? Am I just imagining problems?
Thank you for this. I’m starting my new job today! Hopefully I can show my appreciation to you in a monetary way soon! Show me the Money 💴!😂🙏appreciated!
Just want to say I love your ear training videos. In the other one, I hear water running in the background when pitches play. It was honestly so calming for some reason ??? Do you jam or improvise ? I'm hoping these video will help me with how I end my phrases with more intentional personality
Hi Juree, that's funny because early on I was recording these in my living room where we have a fish tank. :) Yes, I do jam/improvise as much as I can, which is not enough! One of my big goals this summer as a trumpet player is to get more comfortable improvising jazz phrases. I don't know if I know enough to make videos about how to do that...yet. ;)
... Example 1 0:30 M2 Example 2 1:00 m3 Example 3 1:27 P4 Example 4 1:53 m6 Example 5 2:22 M7 Example 6 2:53 P8 Example 7 3:22 m2 Example 8 3:49 P5 Example 9 4:17 M3 Example 10 4:42 M6 Example 11 5:10 Tri-tone Example 12 5:40 m7 Example 13 6:07 m3 Example 14 6:35 M6 Example 15 7:00 Tri-tone
Heads up: on example 20 in the block intervals, a different oral and visual answer are given. For those reading this, I'm fairly certain (98-99%?) the oral answer is right, and the visual answer is wrong. Maybe Stephanie (or someone with a perfect ear) can confirm this one way or the other.
Yes! Basically timbre is the color of a sound. If a flute and a clarinet are playing the same pitch (frequency), same volume (amplitude), we would still probably be able to tell which sound is a flute and which is a clarinet. The reason for that is because the shapes of the sound waves are different, because of the different materials and shapes of the instruments. So the shape of the sound wave (more edges like a violin? More round like a flute?) gives our ears the information of timbre, which is the sound color.
Wow, that's a great question. My disappointing answer is that it's different for everyone. I personally have pretty good pitch memory so it didn't take long. The best trick is to associate different intervals with songs or pieces you know super well, like knowing an ascending octave is the first notes to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
@@StephanieDouglassMusic That is what I mean actually, in this training setting I can get most of them but it requires thought, and if I am not sure then it requires calling up a song, so I wonder if it is never or years or months until it becomes rote memory. How long was "didn't take long"
@@bobwrotenstien315 For me, it was pretty instant to know. The ones I had the most trouble with were the minor 6ths and minor 7ths. I practiced and maybe had them down within a week.
Ha, I think we know which interval your dog doesn't like! (I won't spoil it here, so as not to give away the answer.) EDIT: He or she has good taste in intervals, lol.
Man, this is depressing. If I really stop down and concentrate super hard at these I suck pretty bad, but if I let my mind wander even the slightest and I’ve got absolutely no clue. Argh.
Thanks for putting the graphics on the screen, I'm deaf and I need it so I know what interval I'm hearing.
Wtf lol nice joke lol didn’t expect that XD
I cant tell if this is serious or not
@@robertdickerson6639 you can tell between intervals if your deaf, Beethoven was deaf when he composed his later music
😂
hahahahah
Merci for this. I don't have the best ear...which is why I work on these exercises.
Love the way the bird responds back to the minor 2nd!

Great stuff.! I have been finding your ear training videos very useful. Thanks for posting this stuff.
Hi! Thanks a lot for your videos ear traning. They help me very muuuuch !
Such great training tapes. Love your spirit!
I'm glad you're enjoying them!
Thank you ❤️🎶
yeah, intervals. We had to figure this out for last weeks test, haha. good listening practice Video!
I made another video just like this last June, and it's turning out to be my most-viewed video! So I thought I'd make another one. :)

That's a really cool idea! One more for my list of 2020 video ideas. :)

Stephanie i listen to ur voice first thing....i started feeling like my girlfriend training me early morning first thing with her voice😃❤️🙏🏻
Very helpful! Thanks!
bless your heart
Omg thank you so much. Could you do more descending interval videos, please? i love your videos they're helpful
Yes! Yes I can. I could release one maybe next week?
Thanks for the video! I'm really bad at this
Awesome video, would you consider making another one just like this?

Hi Stephanie,
thanks for the video. Could you please do one on intervals beyond the octave: 9th's 10th an so on...
cheers :)
I got all the ascending ones correct, but I always had trouble with the major 6, and some trouble with the minor 7.
I usually think of "My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean," or the old "NBC" chime for a major 6th.
Hello Stephanie! Thanks for the video lesson. It's a good one for music students and for keeping trained ears fresh. I noticed a mistake in block chords example 20. Definitely a P4, which you say it is, but the video part incorrectly reads P5.
Yes, I think I noticed that when I edited the video and put the correction in the text. Sorry about that.
Just what I needed! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Yours are great tests, but I find myself actually training on my own at guitar or piano. Any thoughts to something like " here are some thirds and a fourth, can you pick it out?" then " Some thirds, fourths and a fifth, can you pick it out?" Etc.
Also, saying the number of each example encourages me to cheat myself when I repeat your quiz . I associate numbers and intervals. I can close my eyes for the printed numbers.
I'm already getting better. Have you been through all this before with your students? Am I just imagining problems?
Really good, would you be able to make a Spotify playlist with all of these?
I often confuse the defending M7 for a tritone
The M7 will defend you to the death, the other's a trite one and doesn't really care about you. That's the biggest difference, hope this helps.
Thank you for this. I’m starting my new job today! Hopefully I can show my appreciation to you in a monetary way soon! Show me the Money 💴!😂🙏appreciated!
Good luck Marilyn! I'll be in touch soon about performances! I have two coming up in your area, April 28th and May 4th. Have a great first day!
U use this for my ear training. I was wondering if you could make similar video for most common chord progressions snd chord identification as well)
Very nice 👍👌💐☺
how do i manage to mix up major sixths and perfect fourths lol
thank you!
realy nice training ideo. thx for sharing! greetings, gregor :)
Thanks Gregor!

i had solfegge exam next week, wish me luck 😖
I believe ex 20 in the block intervals is wrong as a P5 and should be P4.
You're correct
Heads up: on example 20 in the block intervals, a different oral and visual answer are given. For those reading this, I'm fairly certain (98-99%?) the oral answer is right, and the visual answer is wrong. Maybe Stephanie (or someone with a perfect ear) can confirm this one way or the other.
Yep, that's correct. It's a perfect 4th like I said, not a 5th like the screen shows.
someone loves the minor second
C Roberts yep, and it’s Tony Iommi
😂😂😂 I mean, who wouldn't?
28:45 Is that a perfect fourth or a perfect fifth?
Don't you know the way you play m2 is always the same so I can anticipate it hahaha
Your ears are well trained, if you can identify the crying dog sound 😀
0:29
11:30
21:44
30:10
Stephanie can you explain the term Timbre?
Yes!
Basically timbre is the color of a sound. If a flute and a clarinet are playing the same pitch (frequency), same volume (amplitude), we would still probably be able to tell which sound is a flute and which is a clarinet. The reason for that is because the shapes of the sound waves are different, because of the different materials and shapes of the instruments.
So the shape of the sound wave (more edges like a violin? More round like a flute?) gives our ears the information of timbre, which is the sound color.
Who else is impationet and just puts the video in 2x speed? lmao
Is example 20 for block intervals a P4 or P5?
same q here. it is the perfect 4rth.
Practiced daily, what is normal time frame to be able to knock them all out instantly without thinking about it
Wow, that's a great question. My disappointing answer is that it's different for everyone. I personally have pretty good pitch memory so it didn't take long.
