Ear Training: The Sounds of Intervals (How to Identify Them Fast)
Train your ear to recognise intervals on piano. Jason Zac compares resolved, tense and anticipatory sounds, then shows partner practice and an eyes-closed guessing exercise. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music explains practical ways to identify intervals, the distance between two notes relative to each other. You'll compare intervals by their perceived stability, tension and colour, then try partner and eyes-closed listening exercises. Use these listening comparisons and practice suggestions to develop interval recognition on piano. 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining ============================= 🎓 Learn Music with Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac ➡️ https://nathanielschool.com 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) by skill level, topic & genre ➡️ https://learning-portal.nathanielschool.com ============================= 💰 Donate on PayPal ➡️ https://geni.us/DonatePayPal 📸 Instagram ➡️ https://instagram.com/jasonzac 📞 Call +91 98454 65411 · 💬 WhatsApp chat +91 77604 56847 📧 Customised & Private Classes ➡️ music@nathanielschool.com 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music ➡️ https://riffs.jasonzacmusic.com/ #IntervalEarTraining #EarTraining #MusicTheory Chapters 00:00 Identify intervals by their sound 00:35 Resolved and tense interval sounds 01:37 Compare perfect fifths, major thirds and minor thirds 02:51 Intervals that create anticipation 03:36 Major and minor sixths 04:01 Recap and combining intervals into chords 05:30 Practical ear-training suggestions 06:04 Practise with another musician 06:29 Identify intervals with your eyes closed
