Musical Hearing Test - New to Ear Training? Start Here!

Your ears are probably much better than you realize. If our ears weren't great at hearing and understanding music, we wouldn't be able to recognize melodies when transcribed into a new key or played with a wrong note. This is a skill even most non-musicians can do, and our ears can be improved by adding vocabulary to the concepts they already know. Use the exercises in this video to test your basic ability to discern pitch and begin your ear training journey.

This melody at the very beginning reminds me of ABC song for children.

I hate myself for not having a good “musical ear”…. The idea of training with this regard always seemed to be kinda irrelevant if not to say “for dummies” or for pathetic folks (like myself) as it should be kinda natural, shouldn’t it?.. (like how can you train yourself to have a longer leg? 😂 - I train as an athlete, however, even at 65 - kinda makes sense?)
How could I even expect to catch up with a musically gifted guy if I have to start on THIS with you 😂 ? Really pathetic…. However, I do wonder through Classic Squeek channel exercises once in a while (tough sh.t)…. So, I tried this test, too (listening on bad phone speakers). Easy (yeah, comforting!) but… Not always :-(((. Interesting experience! I kinda felt that before experimenting on keyboard that my brain can trick me on sounds further than a fifth: it just wants to hear the mirroring interval that is closer, especially like a leading tone, say A4 to B3. Or, in your example, with the “Timpani” I definitely hear F4 down Bb3, not UP! That’s sounds like my brains are mis-wired selectively ??? :-(((

I'm a little traumatized about how hard I found lesson 1.2 even though I have done some ear training before and can for example identify major intervals usually.
