Ear Training - Treinamento Auditivo - Melodic Intervals Drill - Intervalos Melódicos

These drills are available at musictheory.net. It's a good resource for theory and drills, and if you are a music student you really should try it. Those are fun things to do, but I don't think this kind of exercise help much when one has to listen to the "real thing" ...
I mean, when you hear to music, the intervals won't come isolated from each other, so that the process will require a whole new approach. I really advise you not to waste a large amount of time in things like this, because there aren't many situations in which this kind of skill would help much, other than get good grades at music school, if your perception teacher is lausy enough to believe that your musicality can be tested with this kind of stuff.
As soon as you get confident with the intervals, you should look for a partner to play small motives or group of notes (tonal and atonal) for you to notate. That would be worth and you would really train your ears for the real life.

É um material interessante para exercícios e teoria, e se você é um estudante de música você deveria experimentar. Mas não acho que este tipo de exercício possa ajudar muito na prática, quando você for escutar música de verdade, pois os intervalos não irão ser tocados isolados uns dos outros. Será necessária uma atitude completamente diferente. Aconselho não gastar muito tempo com exercícios deste tipo, pois não há muitas situações em que o tipo de habilidade treinada ali possa ajudar, a não ser mostrar para seus colegas ou tirar notas boas na escola de música (se seu professor de percepção auditiva for ruim o bastante para achar que esse tipo de atividade sirva para avaliar sua musicalidade).
Assim que você ficar confiante para diferenciar os diversos intervalos, procure um colega para tocar pequenos motivos e melodias, tonais e atonais, para você anotar. Irá valer a pena, e você irá treinar seu ouvido para a vida real.

The site has changed a bit. Go to "exercises" and then "intervals"

I am having great problems with intervals, I have a music theory exam next week and I have to learn 3M 3m p4 p5 ascending and descending and cant' seem to learn them, I have used songs, practised online, with keyboard, sung them. But I always confuse 3M with 3m, and 3M with p4 specially descending

I think it's quite common to make mistakes when practicing intervals, because the series of aleatory intervals often form a lot of strange and distorted harmonic contexts. It's hard to stop thinking tonally and isolate the intervals in your mind. What I say to my students is simple as that: sing, sing, sing. If you can sing, you probably can tell apart. And vice-versa. Yet, the more you try different approaches, greater are the chances that you stumble upon the right method for you. Good Luck

I don't have perfect pitch and I don't think I can learn it. I have good relative pitch however. I used this application all the time. It has helped me to improve my ear. No one wants to practice with me but this thing is always willing and available. I started talking piano lessons when I was 6 in 1956 and have been playing piano ever since. I have degrees in music and education. I taught private lessons on piano for many years. In fact I have one student now. One of my students had perfect pit

That's the good thing about computers, they never get bored and never complain about playing notes for us. :) Thanks for your comments.

I think even people with perfect pitch have to work their interval listening skills. Listening to individual pitches is a really special ability, but in serial works intervals are more important than the pitches themselves, in my opinion. As most of the serial procedures, like invertion, retrogradation, etc, are, in practice, permutations of the 12 pitch classes, the intervals between pitches become the main aspect of the series - the one parameter that carries the series 'personality'. Regards

You are right. But I'm pretty convinced that I can't develop perfect pitch, and I really don't believe most people can. I've tried it several times, for many months, with lots of methods. I think (and I've read it somewhere) that if you don't develop it as a child, when you grow up you are out of the perfect pitch club. Anyway, that's my point ... this kind of exercise above is fun, but not very useful. Good luck with your PP studies.

Its good for your ear, but if you want to acquire perfect pitch some time in the future, you have to not think relatively. Basically, you would find it very difficult to develop. I used to train on that site, but now I realize that perfect pitch clearly has more potential than relative pitch, so now I train by guessing notes on my piano. I can guess with pretty good accuracy now.
