Practice Intervals in the 'Real World': Hear Them in Context With Chords (Ear Training)
Intervals are far easier to recognise when you hear them the way they actually appear in music — inside chords. Jason Zac from Nathaniel School of Music teaches you how to sing and identify musical intervals along with major and minor chords, using a 'real-world' process. You'll learn to figure out the interval — both ascending and descending — while improving your music theory and your recognition of notes on the piano. And you'll become a better singer in the process! 🏫 Courses, Workshops or Private lessons ➡️ https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 00:00 Performance 00:48 The “Real World” of Music 02:02 “Song-based” Intervals? 03:24 What is an Interval? 05:00 Why should I train my ear? 06:20 Chord scale relationship 08:17 Melodic Intervals - Ascending & Descending 10:42 Major 2nd Intervals (F Major) 12:49 Swaras 13:33 Importance of Singing 14:59 Minor 2nd (Tension & Resolution) 16:25 Minor Scale-Chord Practice with Intervals 20:25 Importance of Music Theory 22:20 Beauty of the Harmonic Minor 23:51 Thirds over the Major Chord 25:48 Thirds over the Minor Chord 28:13 Perfect 4th & 5ths 29:54 “Wide” Intervals - Sixths 31:54 Practicing Sevenths (7ths) 33:12 Transcribing Jazz Standards - “Misty” 34:10 Final Thoughts ============================= 📹 Our Video Courses (Everything for Life Bundle) ➡️ https://learn-music.nathanielschool.com/ 🎹 Piano Courses & Private Lessons ➡️ https://piano.nathanielschool.com ============================= ▶️ Related Lessons & Playlists 👂 Ear Training lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/EarTraining 🎵 Music Theory lessons ➡️ https://geni.us/PianoTheory 🎹 All our lessons on Chord Inversions (Playlist) ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrNNL05e9FT9ygtrGwGFmfyvMyGWH52EC ============================= 🎓 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
