He’s definitely right. I started here and then started over from the first one and it’s definitely easier starting from the ground up. Great series so far.

Not only do you teach the interval but provide really helpful tips. And it's so funny. Many thanks! (Tip of the hat)

Hello not a brad here just want to drop this comment pointing out that when I started watching your video the music theory that I've been trying to learn since past few months became a piece of cake sadly can't have cakes I don't like sweet too much 😞 but anyways you helped me a lot thank kind sir 😂

Just found your channel. I’ve played guitar and electric bass for years but never took ear training serious. Definitely seen an improvement using the videos and exercises and found I wasn’t as bad as I thought I’d be.

I’ve started to sing the major scale as numbers during the exercises now because frankly….I’m scared you’ll hunt me if I don’t put down Star Wars….or in my case the p5 was always superman.

I've been wanting to do ear interval training forever and I just stumbled upon your Channel today I am your 200 subscriber LOL I just happen to notice because the step four was like And subscribe LOL and it made me laugh.

I've never tried interval training before but I've only got like one wrong on video four and the video five on my first try each time so far. So it's definitely giving me hope that intervals will be easier to learn than I thought. Thank you for your videos :-) looking forward to the next one!

Thanks mate! you're just wonderfull and funny. (Best way to really learn something) I wish you were my ear training teacher at music school

[nielsdebont]

This is exactly what i needed, having them described as “hollow” and “emotional”. Also, your humor is pretty good, if you can increase the quality of your videos i think you can become big.

I am going through your mini course on learning to recognize intervals. I am on the final episode. I still at an early stage of this episode; I guess I could say I am at sleeping on it stage- meaning I have yet to complete this episode. I will comment on one part of trying to listen to the different sources playing the interval.

I am 75 years old. As you are well aware, as we get older, the amount of hair cells in our inner ear decrease which results in loosing the ability to hear higher frequencies. This is not a complaint, only a statement, some of the interments you use are very high frequency chimes or other high frequency producing instruments. I am unable to hear anything when chimes are the instrument, I hear a partial sound, but can not hear the two notes that are played. All of the notes you produced in the earlier lessons I been able to recognize- I sure there maybe higher frequency resonances- that I miss but I am able to distinguish the different notes played. As a educator, I appreciate you sharing these lectures to community via YouTube.

Joe, you have a lot of other videos posted covering many different topics. Can you offer me a suggestion, i which of your other videos would logically be the next series to watch.

I play guitar. I trying to learn to be able to better hear changes between the notes of popular music. I do not play well enough to be able to hear the relative changes in the melody or the be able to hear a chord changes and be able to recognize I V chord change verses I -> IV chord change. I want to be able to listen to a piece of music and be able using my ears alone, to recognize the change of chords or to easily figure out the actual melody changes during a song.

I know I will never be able to hear high frequencies- but hopefully higher frequency overtones mirror the lever frequency that I am still able to hear.

Thank you, I appreciate your effort to teach others how to use your ears to distinguish different sounds we hear. Thank you. When I was a kid I wish we had our current technology to do simple things like being able to keep a guitar in tune.

The song World Coming Down on the album of the same title by Type O Negative. That's what comes to mind every time I hear a major third.

“A nerd that listens to baroque era music” . Touché 😅

[anastazjasowska]

ive been doing these for a while and all intervals seem easy, but i cannot learn the perfect 5th and 4th. played one after another, the difference is obvious, but played randomly, i have no idea wich one is it. i know its one of the perfect intervals, but i got no clue which one. Anybody has any tips on how to percieve them to actually know them?

[havenprice]

I'm on my first day here. Havent made a mistake yet but i am going to miss linking up to songs haha

[girlwithathought]

Wow. Just found this channel and I subscribed immediately. Love it!
