i am a musician and i am trying to do ear training on my own can does any one have any good ideas?

Question

which is the best way to remember inteverals i am unable to recognise most of them in music and i also confuse them alot.

Answer 1

Hire a music tutor. At the community college that I first began serious music study, a certain amount of college paid tutoring was available. Better yet, make friends with a nice pianist or other "noteworthy" musicians to give you free melodic dictation lessons.

Answer 2

This is difficult if you are not gifted with an ear for music. It is equally hard to explain for the same reason. I have an ear for music, and in order to know this, I simply sat down to the piano one day at when I was 10, and went through the scale, A-G. After that, it was in my head, and I could always hear it first, and then play it. I found that it didn't just work with the scales in any octave, but I could remember songs like that too, after hearing them. The longer the song was, the longer I had to memorize them by ear. But you'll find most songs are just repetition of a pattern. I did learn to read finally, but to this day, I like to play it by ear first, and then read the music. Remember, it's not cheating if you get it right. For the intervals, again, you must hear beats in your head first too. Just remember, most music, except maybe Jazz, repeats a pattern. Jazz is mostly improv. To stay in practice of this talent, I use my computer, and go to songs in real.com, or windows media player, and pull up kareoke tracks in different genres. Jazz mostly, and I play my flute along with them. It's fun. You should try that. I don't know what your instrument is, but it will work for any instrument. Burn a CD of your favorite songs to practice to.
