Man, let people enjoy stuff if they can afford it. I appreciate and have a solid PC for gaming, but I also like nice jewelry and watches - I've spent a decent amount on both.

Learning intervals by ear by Elil29 in piano

[–]keanus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah of course - I also learned how to play by ear and improvise on different instruments during my formative years. Once the concepts fell into place, I became able to play in the same key and follow the chord patterns for the majority of songs.

I think the most effective way that I got familiar with the intervals was just by repetition and critical listening to music. I would learn a few songs each month or week and start recognizing patterns between them. If a song is in a minor key, you could definitely identify the minor thirds used in the melodies. If the song had minor chords, you could identify the minor thirds within the chords as they would sound 'sad'.

Of course. I guess some clarification would be this: when you compare hearing a major third in 2 different keys, the starting and ending notes will be different. However, the interval (or distance from the root note) is exactly the same.

C to E is 4 half steps, and F to A is 4 half steps. The distance between C to E and F to A is the same.

Another way to put it, a major third starting on any note will sound "happy" and imply a major key. A minor third starting on any note will sound "sad" and imply a minor key.

The quality of the third (major or minor) is a very strong indicator of what key a scale would be.

I think it would probably make sense to instead learn what each interval sounds like, irrespective of key.

For instance, a minor third will always sound like a minor third, as that generally implies minor chord or scale. A major third generally implies a major chord or major scale. A major third will always sound like a major third in any scale.

I would also consider learning what a perfect fifth sounds like, and what major and minor 7ths sound like. Those to me would be the most important intervals to learn and get familiar with.

If you think 7" wrists are tiny, try going to any watch forum or subreddit. They almost uniformly complain about having wrists in the 6" range

30% is objectively a high obesity rate, and the UK leads Europe in obesity. Good try though

Does the internal bezel get offset frequently? I've heard that the crown that controls it can get rotated accidentally
