Getting Minor Thirds in My Ear

Post by blueskygal » Mar 18, 2009 11:05 am

I am using the Relative Pitch Ear Training Course and use EarMaster as my drilling coach. I am up to minor thirds and I seem to be having a heck of a time getting them in my ear. I have been able to identify other intervals but for some reason the m3 is really giving me a problem.

Any advice for how I might learn them faster? I have been using the song technique (hey jude) with some luck but as of yet do not have consistent results.

Thanks for this great forum!

for me this song works quite good... (the very beginning of the vocal part).

edit:
for me the best technique is to sing the intervals or the songs with the intervals you are interested in... sing and sing again...
