As soon as you said “Now here’s the second note.” I prepared for a single note and closed my eyes. Then an ad started playing of a guy playing a jumpy tune on his piano and I thought, “Is this a trick question??” So I opened my eyes and saw the skip ad button
hahaha oh man sorry that's awful timing! Didn't realize that's where the ad was setup. Did you end up getting the question right after you recovered from the shock?
The biggest secret and most challenging part of ear training is...."CONSISTENCY" .....you have to do it everyday!!!!!!!! the consistency part is where people fail and quit. I know cuz I was one of them. its hard and frustrating and it makes you want to quit. Believe me if you do it every day every day every day it does get easier and you'll be amazed of the results.
The snow outside is mesmerizing, it goes really well with this video. Thank you for doing these videos for those of us who have struggled with ear training and singing on pitch. 💜☮🎶
This is so helpful! I might be able to finally overcome the trauma from when I was in elementary school. Where I live, arts and music are obligatory subjects up until 18 yo, the end of high school. When I was about 10 yo I think, the music teacher was forcing the whole class to write down the notes she played on the piano. She would run through the basic chords first and then she played some random sequence. Of course, the whole excercise was always graded. That was impossible for me then, as was for the majority of the class, and it's still impossible now. I hated music because of that so much, each lesson was so stressful. It was maaaany years ago and I still remember that lessons vividly, the trauma is real.... It seemed very wrong to force kids to do something like that at such age... Your video wasn't stressful at all, I even feel motivated to practice and learn now :) Thank you so much for that!
My teacher recommended making an association between intervals and a popular song (or one we could make up). Eventually, you'll pick it out super easily Ex: Perfect 4th going up, in every key, is the start of "Here Comes the Bride" Perfect 5 is starwars theme A major third going down sounds kinda like a doorbell So on, so forth. You can find handy charts with other example songs for free online. I would highly recommend still doing the exercises that he suggests though, because they allow you to internalize the sound better and really get a grasp on what you're hearing
Don't do this. It will make it much harder. I tried that for months and yes eventually I was able to recognise those pitches. But was of zero help when trying to find notes in melodies. The method described in this video is the easiest and best way. You need to use your instrument at all times for this. Learning all the intervals two note associations does not help, believe me.
This helped a lot for me , you just have to make sure you put it in music context and remember how the interval sounds in relation To the 1 and in relation to notes that are played in sequence (which is the hard part imo) for ex. 1-4-7 in a min key sounds like two perfect 4th back to back
Yes that's a good way to do it. I did that and could recognise all the intervals in a couple of weeks. After a while you stop thinking of the song you used as you know the interval so well
@@Philrc well i have a test on monday i can tell the intervals because of the music but when it comes to melody or randomly generated notes i get lost and its only c major scale what should i do?
Excellent training. I have trained my ear to hear middle C. The rest falls into place with repetitive singing. I hope that came out right. Thank you. (Just keep singing)
Wow! I already do well at recognizing tonal centers for a few of my favorite jazz tunes ( example C minor for Footprints ). But this also is an enormous help. It's in almost deceptively simple and yet effective methodology. I think that I will try it out on relatively simple tunes however
I just started learning the piano and this has truly helped me in recognizing the notes.....Thank you so much for keeping it so simple. Love from Nigeria.
This video and you are what I've been looking for...I kept thinking we've got to recognize the SOUND of notes to actually find and play them. And that definitely is like learning a new language. Thank you...for un-complicating this!!!
As a person who always had an issue with understanding notes and sounds because I didn't know how to learn the pattern for that I must thank you. Just at the beginning, with the language metaphor you explained it to me like no-one else. Your way of describing thing is very similar to my thinking and I am really gratefull I've found your YT!
I realize this is an old video but I still have to drop a comment. I don't usually comment on videos so this is a special occasion. :) It's wonderful to discover an ear training video with "beginner" in the title that is.. actually for beginners. I swear 99.9% of ear training videos in youtube that claim to be for beginners are actually aimed at people who were beginners a year ago.
I love this video!!! I took choir all through high school and have been trying to tune my ears again to play bass, you're a wonderful teacher!! ☺️ This is really helping me get a grasp on it all again!
If playing the piano, it might be good to listen to the interval and then reproduce it on the keyboard, not only try to think for the interval. Why? Because it will train your muscle memory at the same time. You'll train your ear to identify the sound, and your muscle memory to instinctively play that interval. With time, you'll be able to play fast melodies by ear.
This video was super helpful! I hope you continued this series, because this made me realize I'm more advanced than I thought. Guess those years of high school choir paid off lol
Greatings everyone! I haven't got a lot of experience in singing but if I'm not mistaken You're singing an octave lower than you actually playing (6:15). Please help me somebody out with clarifying this. THX!!!
2:50 - Ok, given that the only possibilities were E and G, it was clearly a G. But I don't know if I'd have known that if it could have been any note of C. If F and A had been possibilities... well, not sure.
I showed a picture of you to my friend and she said theres no way you have any money im crying dawg youre doing gods work with this you didnt desrve tha ti love you broksi i hope you get a free milshake🥶
Great lesson. Btw i'm a guitar player and generally i'm not so trained on identifying single note, but i'm very good on identifying chord (harmony created by the chords) or the sound created by the bass guitar. Any suggestion to improve my hearing abbilities sir?
Why do all assume you can automatically sing a note in the correct pitch and therefore find it on the piano 😂 I can't sing like shit lol but just hearing the note in your head works too xD
I think it would be more profitable to start with the Harmonic Series. An Octave of C in the Bass followed by the fifth, root, third and fifth in the right hand. this is Still a triad, but the 5th is doubled. These are the four notes of a standard Bugle Call which are prevalent in almost all Western Music. These 4 Notes Frame the Pentatonic Scale, which Frame the Blues Scale. Once you have these notes down you can apply the standard Morphology that Arrangers use, Minor, diminished, sus 9, sus 4, Altered, Sharp 5, sharp 5 to the Ninth ( which Miles uses in Airegin and which the first four bars of the Melody by Sonny outline this Methodology I'm talking about). Ear Training is sort of misrepresented these days because teachers play random intervals without a tonal center. The Harmonic Series just fits the ear like a glove and if you don't start there you are sort of Lost in the woods. The fact that thousands of even tone deaf Soldiers could Learn, Recognize and Respond to a wide variety of Bugle Calls (as many as 100), is sort of embedded in our Musical DNA.
My whole family has a music ear my dad plays guitar my mom sings my grandpa and his siblings used to have a band in the streets and my uncles play too I'm tryna play keyboard for now and hope that if I get in music high school i can learn the violin in 1 year
@@NoahKellman Like music notes, all quality of colors have names. Then using those names we calibrate our eyes to spot the same colors. Hues are like notes in an octave; saturation is like loudness; value/brightness is like going up and down an octave. Color Palette is like chords and keys. Colors applied on a piece of artwork is like rhythm and melody.
@@LightBWK that is very very interesting! I am an artist (well sort of). I do watercolor, so I kind of know about saturation, brightness, hues and all those stuffs. That is actually mind blowing how music and art are similar in that way! I am currently teaching myself relative pitch. :) thank you for that information!
Great video but also wow i really would like to switch houses for 1 week with you :D totally random but it looks so peaceful, thats a genuine offer mister.
I really appreciate your verbal introduction/explanation. I just received Rick Beato's Ear Traing Method and he explains NOTHING! He simply plays a note or a chord and you have a choice, major or minor? 😕
Oh! I’ve never used Rick’s but maybe his is more of an exercise-focused approach or training application, whereas this is specifically a tutorial. In any case, glad this helps!
So... if i cant tell what note is what and im trying to train my ear how do you expect me to be able to sing it? Nevermind just needed to watch some more.
I wasn’t even paying attention until the screen went black and I knew the note was a G cause the interval is a perfect 5th and my guitar teacher drilled into our head what songs correspond to which intervals and perfect 5th was Star Wars and yeah that’s one way to remember that interval😭😭 I need help

hahaha oh man sorry that's awful timing! Didn't realize that's where the ad was setup. Did you end up getting the question right after you recovered from the shock?

I like how you explain it as a new language. Takes the pressure off getting it right away.
I got the G in the first question. Fun, and awesome teaching video, just what I needed. Thank you
I love this, he shows the difficulties we may encounter, makes me feel less lost, worrying if I am doing it wrong

I'm also really struggling but it takes 3 months to 3 yrs to develop relative pitch. I thought i was slower and its just my day 2 😅

Best eat training ideas I’ve heard. Now I need a syllabus to follow.
I was talking at six years old by the greatest vocal teacher ever in Toronto back in the 70s
2:50 - Ok, given that the only possibilities were E and G, it was clearly a G. But I don't know if I'd have known that if it could have been any note of C. If F and A had been possibilities... well, not sure.

This is great. Thank you.
For sure, you're welcome.
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
This is an excellent video - so helpful. Now it seems possible. Thank you!
This is the first vid that I understand. Thank you for your vid.
I play by ear, i lean forward tilt my head and play the notes with my ear.
Noah! IT"S SNOWING OUTSIDE!!!!
Scuse me, but where is the class for people who can’t tell if they are singing the note or not, even as it plays?
Two doors down . Labelled Woodwork
Numbers and solfegge is the way to go. Singing is the basis of it all independent of the instrument. 1 3 5 =. c e g = do mi so. Auditation!
Your method to identify intervals is pretty good
Looks like Sargam of 7 surs of India -
Saa Re Gaa Maa Paa Dhaa Nee Saa .
Am I right?

Thanks a lot for this 👍❤
This is truly helpful. Thank you
Good tip. A good place to star ear training. Thank you!
First: C4 and E4
Second: C4 and G4
Third: C4 and E3
Thank you for the ear training class.
Beginner friendly! Thank you!
My whole family has a music ear my dad plays guitar my mom sings my grandpa and his siblings used to have a band in the streets and my uncles play too I'm tryna play keyboard for now and hope that if I get in music high school i can learn the violin in 1 year
At 2:30 I counted on my mnd to have got "G"
Thanks for the exercise!
You are officially my new piano mentor !!!!!
Thank you bro . For a awesome tutorial
Glad I’m recognized all three correctly.. I thought I wouldn’t
watching this in 2024. restarting my music journey.
thank you so much
Thank you
. This helped a lot.
Thank you! I will try!
That was useful. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for your gentle tutorial for a beginner :) dig the sweater- wonder if its still around 3 years later lol
The snowfall is beatiful!
Wow solfege really helps.
Thanks Noah
Looking fwd to some more videos.
Stay safe God bless🌻
Thanks, June, you too!
4:00 - I've always been singing the notes by number rather than A, B, C, etc. C=1, D=2, E=3, etc.
Thats not right
Its either the letters or Do re mi fa sol la ti
im excited for this journey!
Thank you for this video.
P. S. I love the snow in the background.
I got E! Im so proud c:
Wonderful beginners guide!
I really enjoyed the snowfall..
Nice work on the site
Super super helpful, thank u so much!!!!
Thank you so much!!!😊
wait so i have to learn to sing?? damn
damn
thank u . very helpful
I can't hear what Im singing. Playing C, singing C, cheking with tuner - im singing B...
What a surprise. This is totally like color. I teach color and wrote 2 books about color, and this is totally like how I teach color.

Last advice is more important than everything in the video
”Here is the second note” simply piano add shows up and a girl starts yelling ”DAd YoU ARe SO GOOoD”
Great lesson!
The fact that I got all the questions and this is my first time. 😮😮
Great video but also wow i really would like to switch houses for 1 week with you :D totally random but it looks so peaceful, thats a genuine offer mister.
Serious question: What did that mean, to 'match' your voice to it? How do you know your voice is matched?
Thanks a lot!!! 🙏🚀
I love the falling snow ♡
Super, very useful video, thank u
Do you recommend using solfege in this practice? Like, is it better to use do mi Sol instead of saying c e g?
I really appreciate your verbal introduction/explanation. I just received Rick Beato's Ear Traing Method and he explains NOTHING! He simply plays a note or a chord and you have a choice, major or minor? 😕

I would like to know how intervals can help me to recognize the chord progression of a song
i really don't get it. How do I know if my sung notes are matching up? that would require already a level of pitch, which I don't have.
This is the lesson I am looking.
...for. Thank you.
Very helpful.
thanks
Thanks so much
So... if i cant tell what note is what and im trying to train my ear how do you expect me to be able to sing it?
