QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ May 14 2014, 04:18 AM)  Training you ears was exactly the thing I was thinking about when reading your post, Gabi  I think that this is the best ear training one could get, alongside with consciously imitating various sounds around you! I also had a thing for imitating voices and now I realized how much that has helped my ears yes, this is something very valuable. I used to do it just because I found it fun but it has been a very important training. I wonder if anybody else trained their ears in this way... and if not, what do you use for ear training? -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ May 15 2014, 04:52 AM) Another thing I did, that helped me a lot, was to dub cartoon voices in a studio for about 2 years  Amazing experience and the fun factor... We used to work 30 minutes and than inevitably laugh for another 30 minutes  hahaha that's a very cool job! and it's surely a good way to train your ears off course. This makes me think that there must be some no music related activities that can be helpful for ear training.... dubbing cartoon voices can be one.. do you know any other? -------------------- My lessons

I read the article you linked in yesterday's chat and it had some great insights. I had always subscribed to the learning in short bursts method, but what I had read long ago was 15 minutes, then take a short 2 minute break doing something *completely* different, then resume for another 15 minutes. Resuming is what grilled it into your mind that what you were doing would be revisited, so more likely you will retain it faster. Studies then seemed to show it was more effective.
I wasn't expecting the article to recommend only 3 minutes at a time! I kindof think progress will always be subtle and difficult to ascertain compared to other similar methods, but I don't see why 3 minutes spent on a particular lick would be a bad thing. That's about my attention span anyways, before I go to a different lick. Great article. Chris -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

It really makes sense. Let's say thanks to Hexabuzz for posting the article here! QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ May 16 2014, 03:59 AM) I always found that associating sounds from all around us with various intervals, really helps us remember them well - for me, the perfect 5th sounds like a trumpet announcing the arrival of a medieval ruler in a castle, for instance. Have you guys thought of such associations? yeah! this is the easier way to remember the different intervals. I used to relate the perfect 5th to the beginning of Superman's song. any other example of this?

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ May 17 2014, 03:55 AM) The major 7th I think about the beginning in a Smashing Pumpkins song, called '1979'heheh good one. It's also a good way to remember a semitone. who uses other sounds to identify intervals? -------------------- My lessons

The second/ninth, makes me think about the sea - here's a nice 9th chords based tune that everyone enjoys:

I think that if you know how to play a song and how to sing the roots, you can use this to identify intervals. here we have a perfect 4th: -------------------- My lessons

QUOTE (Sunny @ May 21 2014, 04:26 AM) I do, it's fun.  But I've got musical education where we trained this so it's easy for me too. That was ages ago though and I got a bit rusty, but still think I got it right: Spoiler: It's very interesting to read that you guys also associate melody with intervals, that's exactly what I was doing back then in school and guessing intervals was never easier. I could recognise easily 2nds and 7ths (and primas/octavas), and I even remember which tunes I had for the rest: minor 3rd - funeral march major 3rd - national hymn pure 4th - oh my darling clementine pure 5th - 2nd interval in national hymn, and of course trumpets minor 6th - love story major 6th - some classical piece, don't remember who/what but still know the tune and can recognise this interval Curious how musical memory can stay unchanged for decades..  That's a great list... are you talking about Sweden Hymn? I think that I've never heard it, do you have a link? about the answer... let's see if we have any other GMCer that want to answer, if not, Cosmin should end it. -------------------- My lessons
