Ear Training: Secrets of Interval Singing Exercise 1

In this episode called Secrets of Interval Singing and Hearing Exercise 1, I will show a simple exercise that I like to teach my ear training students to work on both Solfege and Interval Singing. Practice it everyday even if you have a good ear. I will help you greatly on the dreaded descending intervals that most musicians are not great at.

Fantastic channel, Rick! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. In a "younger life" I was a full-time musician (went to Berklee for a couple of years, in rock bands for 15-20 years, and more....) and being exposed to this type of material was hugely helpful and inspirational for my budding career. Although that career has ended, and I have a "real" job now and am retired from music, your channel has inspired me once again to study and think about music. I've enjoyed immensely everything you've so graciously shared on this channel. Keep up the great teaching, you rock!

I love this channel. It has reignited my love for guitar and "all things music"!

This is super helpful, I decided to train my ears properly about a month ago (your video inspired me and gave idea how to approach it), and I 'developed' some simple singing exercises, but I've never thought that I could approach this like that. It's the thing that I needed, and I can already see how useful this will be. Thanks a bunch!

I use this with my students (and also for myself when learning new scales) and it really opens up their ears. I usually do it to a drone (on Do) since it really helps you with hearing the flavour/personality of each note in the scale. Awesome stuff as usual Rick:)

Great exercise. I'm going to practice this right now :) ...and every morning this week. I like the speed aspect.

Rick... where is the other one please (the follow up exercise)? thank you for everything you represent and the content you create. You already know

[juntin]

it’s hard work but reaps the benefit of having strong musicianship at the end. i use the number system. for few minutes a day, it’s a good practice to keep up.

Download a tuner on your phone and use it to monitor your pitch as you go along. Helps a LOT!

[mybiggrin]

Thank you! I will do this 2 times a day and I'm looking forward to the next one bc I REALLY need this.

[KIDiotequeA]

[robertlackar]

Congratulations and please, keep going! I will love to see the next one and the next one!

great lesson ! is there an exercise 2 ? I would guess it would take this idea and take a different "relative" note as pedal point ? first Re, then mi etc.

[gabrielchavarria]

Im anxious for the next videos! Great channel!!

I clicked on this video in hopes of learning something that can help me. But as soon as he said chocolate milk stains I reflected to my kids just leaving food on my acoustic bass fretboard. One night I actually came home and found footprints on the soundboard of my acoustic bass! Completely relative.
Rick, you get me.

[ScottTK]

Thanks for the video! Definitely going to practice this.

[joshuadempsey]

Thanks for the video, I'm a new subscriber and I have a terrible ear so this is really helpful.

[DaveByers]

Awesome~! What videos are after this? I can't find any other "Singing Exercise" on your page.

[Ionut]
