Diatonic Intervals Ear Training
Ear training gets short shrift among music students- who wants to be occupied with such a mundane task when you can spend your time learning Herbie Hancock licks? Well not so fast. The benefits of well trained ears are huge. Every facet of the music will be more immediate and accessible to you whether you are transcribing, comping, improvising- whatever- well trained ears will allow you to assimilate and manipulate melodic lines and chords with ease. In this lesson, learn to identify the eight diatonic intervals by associating them with the first few notes of popular songs. Test yourself with the three randomized quizzes to gain speed and accuracy in hearing these most basic intervals.
