I've always struggled with my ear and I have to say, jusy a few minutes every day with this method for the last week and already I can hit any note and sing fifths, fourths, and thirds all the way through the cycle. Just gotta work in the other intervals!

[ATastyEnd]

You have no idea how much I love your channel.

[DoubleBassX]

I started crying when I realized how balanced your ego is for someone of your mastery.

You make the world a little less cynical <3

We love you.

[montalvomachado]

The clearest intervals class EVER.
Thank you so much for all your videos, Rick.
You are beyond awesome!

[grizzlymartin]

This is one of THE MOST important lesson of my modest musical life. Had I learned this early on, I can only imagine where I'd be today. Thanks. I know incorporate this DAILY!

[habemusfyah]

This was the best method I've ever seen! I will put in practice right now!

[inajefflymanner]

I'm a junior undergrad theory major. The ear training was kicking my butt! This has unlocked something in my brain and things are clicking finally. Thanks!

[SteveofArms]

As a performance major at CCM, this ear training and method of practice is so much better than what my school offers. Thanks for your insightful approach, I will put this to the practice room, and I can't wait to show it off in class on Tuesday!

[valerypopov]

This lesson is priceless.
So glad I chose Rick Beato as my guide in music.
Gotta enroll to Beato's ear training program for sure.

"Fifths are tricky for people especially descending fifths. I'm not sure why, probably from not practicing."

OKAY OKAY I'LL PRACTICE MORE *runs away sobbing*

[tonurehela]

Thanks for posting, you explained not only intervals but also the logic behing "Aug" and "Dim" chords.

[JariSatta]

Cool
In addition I'd play random tones from different octaves and then sing them in the same octave.
For example, C2 (~65Hz) and D5 (~587Hz) to -> C3 (~131Hz) and D3 (~147Hz)
Squeezing the tones as close as possible.

Whenever I hear a minor second, I just think Für Elise or the Jaws Theme immediately and that works

[markmacdonald]

Thanks so much for this Rick! I’m a pro musician but have never dedicated enough time to ear training. Your videos have inspired me to get to work!

[wowerman]

This is great lesson to excercise your hearing especially when you do productions but you stopped singing for many years.Thank you Rick.

[mbmillermo]

Thanks, Rick! But about those songs -- I'm old so they might help me! ;-) A really cool idea might be to call on your many followers to make suggestions and put together a list. There might be dozens of examples for every interval -- sometimes old ones, sometimes new ones, some from jazz standards or Broadway, some from Blues standards, some from classic rock, some from '80s new-wave pop or grunge rock or metal. That way students can look at the list and pick out the ones they know.

[HitWaveMusic]

great info. I've never heard anyone explain it like that. you're the man!

[christophermoody]

Domoarogato Mr. Beato... I never thought of this before. I struggled for years with ear training, only got marginally better... I think this idea of using symmetrical chords to train 3rds is genius.. I'm going to start trying to train my ears again.

[fizzy_izzies]

thank you for this advice. i am in my first year at university and this part of theory class always gets me. i have a hard time distinguishing the 4’s and 6’s. i will try to train with this method and practice more.
