Well mate I recommend you get some method. Here in Argentina we have the Maria del Carmen, but there are many, the Zoltan Kódaly is a really good method too in Hungary and is well-known all over the world. Paul Hindemith has some training too.
Also you can get some method entirely made with audio like the David Lucas Burge method, I leave you a link http://www.perfectpitch.com/relativepitch.htm When you have to learn this stuff is little by little for example I'll copy the index from the Melody part of the book of Maria del Carmen (the book is divided into Rhythm, Melody, Intervals and Harmony) Melody: -Relation low-high (differenciation between registers) -Movement of the melody -Tonal center -Major mode -Minor mode -Melodies in major scale -1st 3rd and 5th sounds of the scale -Placing the central C -Reading in F clef -The 6th sound of the scale -The 2nd sound of the scale -Major pentatonic -Minor pentatonic -The 4th sound of the scale -The 7th sound of the scale -Modes: dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian -Aeolian mode -Minor scale -Keys -Order of flats and sharps -Enharmonic scales -Rules for alterations -Alterations in minor keys -F major key -Harmony of F major -D minor -Harmony of D minor -Passage between F major to D minor -Passage between D minor and F major -G major -Harmony in G major -E minor -Harmony of E minor -Passage between G major to E minor and viceversa The same happends with the intervals. One chapter for one interval -Minor third -Major thid -Perfect fourth -Perfect fifth -Whole step -Half step -Minor sixth -Major sixth -Minor seventh -Major seventh -Tritone -Octave -Intervals exeding the octave -Augmented and diminished intervals The course last 4 years so imagine that every topic has it's own time. What I want to say with this is that you cannot learn all by a blink, you have to go step by step. In the David Lucas Burge method is the same you have a practice routine. Also Steve Vai has some piece of advices in his website. I forgot that everything that you learn always is great to have a previous reference. There was a topic here in GMC where everybody added their references to the intervals, for example: perfect fifth = superman song. Let me know if this helped you and if it don't I'll try to explain a more detailed topic. This post has been edited by Ramiro Delforte: Mar 4 2009, 06:37 AM -------------------- |

There are rare people who are really tone deaf. But on the other side, there are rare people who have absolute and relative pitch from birth!
For all us in the middle, developing ear for music is a skill that just requires time and effort, just like other skills, so the more time you put in it, the better it will become. Good news is that this skill is developing while playing, without even doing constant exercises, but with those focused exercises, you will learn it more quicker. Human ear is very sensitive, and it may need some time, like several years, to adopt certain frequencies as recognisable, but it is nothing unusual. We all have this gift, and we can develop it further. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Yes, I agree Ramiro, I said the similar thing, only used a bit different terms. I'm not sure what tone deaf means exactly, but I meant it as a medical expression when someone is not being able to distinguish tones.
