How do you do interval identification?
To determine the size of an interval, count the number of half steps between the two notes then refer to your memory. * A “tritone” is a generic name for an augmented fourth ( 4) or diminished fifth ( 5). These two intervals are enharmonic.
How do you practice hearing intervals?
For example, if you want to play melodies by ear using your interval skills, spend some time explicitly trying to use intervals to work out melodies by ear. You can practice in a simple way just by sitting down, listening to a melody, and then trying to work out the notes by figuring out each interval in turn.
How long does it take to learn intervals by ear?
If you want to learn how to identify intervals and scales in music, it could take anywhere from 4-8 months because there are a lot of different intervals to practice (learn about intervals here in this music theory lesson).
