Questions :
(If they are all hard, or all easy, that's ok !)
- Which ones were most Difficult ? Which were Easy ?
(If they are all hard, or all easy, that's ok !)
- If you are consistently missing them - look at how far you missed them by. Are you consistently above the original pitch ? Or usually below ? are you missing them by a consistent distance ? (i.e. you always seem to be 5 keys above the right answer)
Find the Note - Part 2
Same Exercise - However - Now we will have 2 Notes to find. They will sound one after the other at first.
***** Listen to the notes and see if you can imagine how far apart the sound / look on the keyboard. Do you think there is a BIG space in between them, or are the pretty tight together ? Remember how the sound waves clash - if these notes were sounding together would there be a clash, or would it sound OK ? ****

OK - So - Now we have two notes sounding one after the other. The space between those notes is called an Interval .
Intervals are VERY IMPORTANT in harmony - Think of a Chord (3 notes stacked together), this is really just 2 intervals put together sounding simultaneously , right ?
