How to only practice relative pitch

[Tijs]

Hey there,

I'm thinking of buying this program.
In the faq I read that the main focus is relative pitch. Now I only want to focus on relative pitch since I heard perfect can be quite annoying.

Is it possible to only focus on relative pitch with this program? If so: how to do it?

And will I be able to hear a song and know the chords right away or very soon with relative pitch alone?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

Hi,
The exercises including pitch in EarMaster are training your relative pitch recognition skills. Perfect pitch is not included as standard training, but you can customize EarMaster to train it. Therefore, you can be sure that unless you set it up otherwise, EarMaster will train your relative pitch skills.

For your last question, the short answer is yes. Having good relative pitch skills will help you identify chord qualities (Maj, min, dim, 7, etc.) and the pitch relations between each chord, especially with the exercise on chord progressions.

Cheers!
