Re: Ear Training

Thank you guys. All of that is helpful.

I don't know if it matters, but upon further reflection and trying some other things I think my problem is that I sense the pitches accurately, but that the sensory information doesn't get translated or processed into my understanding, where they are understood or percieved as related to one another.

When I was practicing simple intervals online I tried forcing myself to sing them first. My accuracy improved dramatically. When I first heard them they were only two random pitches, but when I sang them it was immediately clear what their relationships were. After singing the intervals for a while it got easier to recognize them without singing them.

So, I think I'll start at the most basic level and do a lot of singing at the same time. Then, hopefully I will be able to do the same exercises without singing.
