You go through this sorta process with ALL the intervals. 1-5-1” Ok yeah I got it, or I didn’t get it. Can I sing a fifth?ĭid I get it? Let me check “1,2,3,4,5. You can play this game driving in your car, or walking down the street, or in the shower or just about anywhere (although it can feel kinda embarrassing to do it in front of people, lol.) I introduce this concept in my Scales for Beginners lesson. In my opinion, the best place to start is to learn the major scale, and to sing the major scale using numbers instead of letters. The first skill to learn is recognizing intervals, the distance between 2 notes. No matter where we are in our journey, there is always room for us to grow our ears to be able to hear things better. Thankfully, the answer is a resounding YES! There are things you can do. Is there anything I can do to train my ear to get better so that I can figure out songs more easily? So for those of us in this latter camp, the question may arise: Depending on our genetics and our upbringing we may have a great natural propensity toward being able to hear and recognize the intervals that a melody is composed of, or if you’re like I was at the beginning you’re just TOTALLY STUCK AND DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START! Our ability to learn songs by ear is aided or hindered by how well developed our ears are. Recently I wrote a post about Transcribing (learning a song by ear) and the subject of Ear Training naturally arose.
