-p Apparently there's some kind of misconception from some saying guessing and checking on actual songs is better. Training interval identification in a coordinated way lets you get this ability infinitely faster. Associating intervals will be slower than guess and check only in the beginning. If you want long term improvement ear training is the way to go. Picking out a song by ear by guessing repeatedly is not the same thing as playing a melody out with little or no mistakes in real-time.

-p Finally, whistling or singing to replicate a note correctly is not perfect pitch.

  • 3YRS WITHOUT YOU!!!!

    :(

  • I immediately recognized that intervall as greensleves :)

    I told my piano teacher about it and that you have so many song-examples for the different intervalls. And she said that this is the way to do it and then I learend to play amazing grace just by ear and memory (had to sing the whole song - and I suck at singing ^^) but than we even added the chords in the left hand and than transposed it to the other 11 scales :) it was great fun - and your video started it :)

    Can I stll donate? cheers

  • niceee where do donations go?

  • Hello! If you want to see my website, it's down, but when it's up, I'll tell you. It's what I call "the dumpster of the internet", the weird zone.

  • Eh? The same guy who taught me HTML, CSS and JavaScript like 3 years ago, is now teaching me music theory? :D

  • I lol'd at the cat picture

  • Jimmy's on Vimeo. Just search for Jimmy Ruska. He says: "I'm not posting to youtube until I can guarantee a regular posting rate.". This is a copy/paste from his latest video about Skyrim uploaded a week ago.

  • nice! Thanks for making it easy for the beginners!

  • geeks rule the world!!! You just saved me a few years

  • I love you. Just saying.

  • This is an excellent piece of software! From one music software developer and educator to another, we highly recommend this software to anyone learning music. This software is very intuitive and will make a huge difference in learning all other concepts of music. The faster one develops an ear for intervals, the faster they will proceed through their music education. Thank you Jimmy for advancing the music education system in such an easy and intuitive format.

  • I play the piano by ear, and this is confusing for me. If I knew what all these numbers and names for notes meant, I would just read music. I guess this is for people that already know how to read music.
