This is a musician aural exercise, #2 of 3. It will tune your ear using ear training. Perfect pitch, absolute pitch, is not required or necessary for this exercise. This is the practiced, intermediate level. This video exercise should be practiced on alternating days of the week until a one hundred percent score is achieved. Do not skip ahead. Finish all questions in order.
Musician Ear Training Practice. Listen carefully and remain focused on accurate hearing.
Identify if the note is flat or sharp. If you were able to answer every question correctly, then you passed the exercise and can continue on. If you did not answer all questions correctly, then revisit this exercise until successful.

These vids are awesome! The practised 5cents are REALLY hard to call sometimes. I seem to call the sharps easier than some flats. And certain notes are harder than other. Anyway, this was superb! Thanks alot!

Hello, Thank you so much for your exercices. I have absolute hear, but not for micro-intervals. I have here some difficulties with 10cts and 5cts. I will start my training and tell you my progresses. I have a suggestion : I think it would be a great idea to make some exercices to see if a harmonic (or melodic, but it is probably harder) interval is pure or slightly altered. I'm particularly interested by consonant intervals (in this case the meaning of pure is clear), i.e. minor and major thirds, minor and major sixths, perfect fourth, fifth. For instance, - the wolf fifth is 23.5 cts lower than a pure fifth, this is the pythagorician comma. - the pythagorean (major) third is 21.5cts higher than a pure major third, this is the syntonic comma. - The equally tempered fifth is 2cts lower than a pure fifth, probably good enough to not be noticed ? - The equally tempered major third is 14cts higher than a pure third (quite bad) Without entering in a precise study of the commas, it would be so nice to hear a difference of + or - 20cts, 15cts, 10cts, 5cts or 2cts with a pure interval. And, even when we feel it is dissonant, it would be nice to see when the interval is too big or too small. The ideal plan for an exercice would be (if the technical constraints do not make that too difficult) : - play the slightly altered interval, +- 20cts, 15cts etc. without playing the pure interval - give the answer, slightly sharp or slightly flat - play again the altered interval, and play the pure interval with the bass note in common, for comparison Would it be possible to do some exercices on that ? Thank you.

so, to play an altered pitch first, then ask if it is sharp or flat, would be a true test of absolute pitch, definitely. highly advanced. alternatively, play a harmonic interval, then ask if it is sharp or flat, in either testing melodic or harmonic intervals, is also advanced level. the intermediate level choice would be to train melodic octaves, I believe. so, what is the ultimate goal. is it to achieve as good an ear as possible in an arbitrary test, or, is it for a music-making harmonization. I think defining that goal would guide the test. singing acapella in a professional quartet for example, requires a finely tuned ear, about 2 cent difference in tuning at professonal level, but the tuning is relative to the group, not to an absolute scale; that would be a musical goal. I aim to have an octave test as my next quiz video, for more high-intermediate training. other intervals, I am not sure about. I will have to study the published research to see if other intervals create an improvement. Overall the broad goal is to make a set of training quizzes which are the best at creating true improvement to a professional level in the shortest amount of study time per practice day and shortest amount of total time over several months.

@@superblondeDotOrg thank you so much for your kind reply. I am indeed more interested to understand pure intervals than to understand a given temperament (such a high conformity to a temperament is somehow arbitrary, non-musical, because the frequencies are fixed, which implies that the harmonic intervals cannot be all pure). Furthermore, when a melodic interval is not pure (this is necessary to make all the harmonic intervals pure), it gives to it some character which is not pre-imposed, so it is interesting to notice. I believe that the "true" notes are not just amplitudes and frequencies, the same way that the "true colors" are something like the intrinsic color of the objects, and not the color they emit in some particular situation. In both case, the amplitudes and frequences of a same true note, true color depends on the context. This is probably one source of the optical illusions : the true colors are not the same, even if they become the same when we juxtapose them, because the objects are altered during the juxtaposition, which changes the true colors even thought the frequencies remains the same. The idea of an isolated color, independant of the objects, is probably false. That is just personal thoughts. Waiting forward for your next video on the topic, whatever it will be.

@user-ju6yr8zs9o 2 жыл бұрын

Can you make more vids of the same difficulty level? After a few watches i'll just memorize the order of sharps and flats.

@superblondeDotOrg 2 жыл бұрын

yes I will make more vids in this series and including this level. It is a time consuming process to make these. However you can consciously choose to not-memorize the answers on these vids by focusing on the sound only. Or you could skip forward a bit and then backwards a bit in each video, as long as total exercise time is well over 10 minutes practice time in total. It is easily possible to cheat by memorizing but that doesnt help obviously.

Would this help me sing better? Thanks

Yes, absolutely it will help with your pitch in singing and in learning melodies by ear. You will be able to much more quickly audiate pitch within a scale to vocally produce correct pitch for a melody. This video is also best done at the same day as vocal scale lessons especially with vocal exercises on the major scale or modes of the major scale.

@@JamesTarghet "coming very soon" for more aural training videos. however there is a 3rd video which has been on my channel for a long time, along with this one, the only difference is that it does not have this same title, but it is the same difficulty level, with different questions.

@briangroenbaek4431 2 жыл бұрын

it would be much more useful if the notes played on the piano would be actual intervals instead of the same note being either flat or sharp - but maybe that will follow in a higher level? - any way, it is very easy to determin these notes because the false following note differs so much - it is not a bit off it is way off ... at least a semitone

@superblondeDotOrg 2 жыл бұрын

I highly doubt you watched this entire video because 10 cents and under is not "way off" as you write. Yes, tuning on intervals is a more advanced level.

Not only was level 1 less than a semi tone, but you're wrong everywhere else too.
