Very educative

Thank you so much for this.

Can you please tell me whether training colour hearing in few of the middle octaves is fine like 2nd to 5th because even though I learn a drill in the few octaves quick but it takes far more of a time to master it in the higher or lower octaves and I think that would just be a waste of time? Please answer❤

Although we recommend practicing around the middle registers of the keyboard, it's only because that register is universally the most familiar and comfortable to the human ear. But the pitch colors themselves don't actually change when you move to a different octave. The "C" sounds like a "C" whether it's C2 or C4. It just has a different "tint" that makes it seem "lower" or "higher"… other than that, it is still the same exact color.

Thank you for the lessons,i really like your attitude!
that last one looks like it touch the relative ear training border. or am i wrong? it's just to give a clue?

[@jetdeleon]

Great question! Yes - in this drill we are comparing the pitches to the A major chord… so it is relative. Remember, we're not trying to block relative pitch. If you find that you need to use relative pitch to recognize the pitch, that is completely alright. Eventually you will begin to recognize the pitch colors with or without a relating note. The key takeaway is that we also listen for the pitch color. Even as you hear the relationship, you will begin to hear the individual pitch color/flavor as well. Hope this helps!

Hi Jet, can I pick Cm (on piano) as the home based / security blanket? The reason is this tune is the most familiar to my ears..

[@jetdeleon]

Yes that is ok. Remember the most important thing is to listen deeply to each individual tone in a relaxed and enjoyable manner.
