- If you're a complete ear training novice, start with this video. Once you have developed some relative pitch, you'll be able to play songs, hear chord progressions, figure out notes, all by ear without having perfect pitch.

As soon as you said “Now here’s the second note.” I prepared for a single note and closed my eyes. Then an ad started playing of a guy playing a jumpy tune on his piano and I thought, “Is this a trick question??” So I opened my eyes and saw the skip ad button
same, i got so scared
hahaha oh man sorry that's awful timing! Didn't realize that's where the ad was setup. Did you end up getting the question right after you recovered from the shock?
I had to skip back a few seconds but yes
😂😂😂😂
I did exactly this. I had the Simply Piano We Will Rock You ad.
The biggest secret and most challenging part of ear training is...."CONSISTENCY" .....you have to do it everyday!!!!!!!! the consistency part is where people fail and quit. I know cuz I was one of them. its hard and frustrating and it makes you want to quit. Believe me if you do it every day every day every day it does get easier and you'll be amazed of the results.
Im distracted by the background its so beautiful
By the background or 😁😁😂😂😂
Yea
Me too! Beautiful 😍
yeah me too

I've been looking for a good ear training course for a new student, this is it. Thank you.
Glad to help!
@@NoahKellman nice job. TYSM
that snowfall in the back is majestic
I wasn't the only one staring at it haha
Time stamp
The snow outside is mesmerizing, it goes really well with this video.
Thank you for doing these videos for those of us who have struggled with ear training and singing on pitch.
💜☮🎶
You’re very welcome 😀
I got the G in the first question. Fun, and awesome teaching video, just what I needed. Thank you
I like how you explain it as a new language. Takes the pressure off getting it right away.
Great content! Thank you! Looking forward to more beginner ear training videos!
Have a great 2021!
Wow! I already do well at recognizing tonal centers for a few of my favorite jazz tunes ( example C minor for Footprints ). But this also is an enormous help. It's in almost deceptively simple and yet effective methodology. I think that I will try it out on relatively simple tunes however
I love this, he shows the difficulties we may encounter, makes me feel less lost, worrying if I am doing it wrong
This video and you are what I've been looking for...I kept thinking we've got to recognize the SOUND of notes to actually find and play them. And that definitely is like learning a new language. Thank you...for un-complicating this!!!
This is so helpful! I might be able to finally overcome the trauma from when I was in elementary school. Where I live, arts and music are obligatory subjects up until 18 yo, the end of high school. When I was about 10 yo I think, the music teacher was forcing the whole class to write down the notes she played on the piano. She would run through the basic chords first and then she played some random sequence. Of course, the whole excercise was always graded. That was impossible for me then, as was for the majority of the class, and it's still impossible now. I hated music because of that so much, each lesson was so stressful. It was maaaany years ago and I still remember that lessons vividly, the trauma is real.... It seemed very wrong to force kids to do something like that at such age... Your video wasn't stressful at all, I even feel motivated to practice and learn now :) Thank you so much for that!
Simple and efficient . Best lesson on you tube , I have been searching a long time .
I just started learning the piano and this has truly helped me in recognizing the notes.....Thank you so much for keeping it so simple. Love from Nigeria.
This video was super helpful! I hope you continued this series, because this made me realize I'm more advanced than I thought. Guess those years of high school choir paid off lol
I love this video!!! I took choir all through high school and have been trying to tune my ears again to play bass, you're a wonderful teacher!! ☺️ This is really helping me get a grasp on it all again!
Excellent training. I have trained my ear to hear middle C. The rest falls into place with repetitive singing. I hope that came out right. Thank you. (Just keep singing)
One of the best music tutorials I've seen in a while
Yes. I recognized G because it seemed substantially higher rather than a bit higher
I have music contents check me out
I'm a drummer trying to learn music theory just started playing bass so cheers for this!
Best eat training ideas I’ve heard. Now I need a syllabus to follow.
Nice foundation for building a bigger sound vocab. Thank you!
I do have an APD and this really helps me a lot. Thank you so much!
As a person who always had an issue with understanding notes and sounds because I didn't know how to learn the pattern for that I must thank you. Just at the beginning, with the language metaphor you explained it to me like no-one else. Your way of describing thing is very similar to my thinking and I am really gratefull I've found your YT!
I'm also really struggling but it takes 3 months to 3 yrs to develop relative pitch. I thought i was slower and its just my day 2 😅
wow this lesson is the best I've come across. Thank you!
My teacher recommended making an association between intervals and a popular song (or one we could make up). Eventually, you'll pick it out super easily
Ex: Perfect 4th going up, in every key, is the start of "Here Comes the Bride"
Perfect 5 is starwars theme
A major third going down sounds kinda like a doorbell
So on, so forth. You can find handy charts with other example songs for free online. I would highly recommend still doing the exercises that he suggests though, because they allow you to internalize the sound better and really get a grasp on what you're hearing
Don't do this. It will make it much harder. I tried that for months and yes eventually I was able to recognise those pitches. But was of zero help when trying to find notes in melodies. The method described in this video is the easiest and best way. You need to use your instrument at all times for this. Learning all the intervals two note associations does not help, believe me.
This helped a lot for me , you just have to make sure you put it in music context and remember how the interval sounds in relation To the 1 and in relation to notes that are played in sequence (which is the hard part imo) for ex. 1-4-7 in a min key sounds like two perfect 4th back to back
Yes that's a good way to do it. I did that and could recognise all the intervals in a couple of weeks. After a while you stop thinking of the song you used as you know the interval so well
@@TechTins_Projects nonsense
@@Philrc well i have a test on monday i can tell the intervals because of the music but when it comes to melody or randomly generated notes i get lost and its only c major scale what should i do?
Him:here’s the second note...
Ad:I found a loove
lol
For mine it was loud
This is the first vid that I understand. Thank you for your vid.
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
I was talking at six years old by the greatest vocal teacher ever in Toronto back in the 70s
Many thanks. I'm tuning my guitar so I need this help. Power to you.
If playing the piano, it might be good to listen to the interval and then reproduce it on the keyboard, not only try to think for the interval. Why? Because it will train your muscle memory at the same time. You'll train your ear to identify the sound, and your muscle memory to instinctively play that interval. With time, you'll be able to play fast melodies by ear.
This is an excellent video - so helpful. Now it seems possible. Thank you!
You are officially my new piano mentor !!!!!
This is truly helpful. Thank you
Thank you bro . For a awesome tutorial
Good tip. A good place to star ear training. Thank you!
Thank you
. This helped a lot.
This is great. Thank you.
For sure, you're welcome.
2:50 - Ok, given that the only possibilities were E and G, it was clearly a G. But I don't know if I'd have known that if it could have been any note of C. If F and A had been possibilities... well, not sure.
Thank you for the ear training class.
im excited for this journey!
The snowfall is beatiful!
thank U so mch 4 ur Time...i L0ve Music.. sadly I am a beginner, but I have one Question?, what is the concept behind playing any given NOTE and having the next one play in harmony with it on an instructment. Pretty much, the making of a song; Not whole in theory but if you were to play Gmajor for example within the next 3-5 notes play; would there be such a musical equitaion that 2 or more of those NExt 5 notes played would have to be specific notes carry the beat with structure. How you do put notes together to create a BEAT/SOUND/RHYTHM. ( Not reading them) is kind of hard to explain myself. Thank U...
This is good. I could do the equivalent on my guitar. I'm curious about another aspect of ear training, and that is listening to music and being able to pick out the instruments that are playing. Is that a fundamental part of ear training?

Beginner friendly! Thank you!
This video quality is good bro. Keep it up
Crimson Lightning Music thanks appreciate it!
Great lesson. Btw i'm a guitar player and generally i'm not so trained on identifying single note, but i'm very good on identifying chord (harmony created by the chords) or the sound created by the bass guitar. Any suggestion to improve my hearing abbilities sir?
Do you sing when you play?
Super super helpful, thank u so much!!!!
That was useful. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for your gentle tutorial for a beginner :) dig the sweater- wonder if its still around 3 years later lol
Thanks Noah
Looking fwd to some more videos.
Stay safe God bless🌻
Thanks, June, you too!
Yaiiii thank you for this vid. I an so exited learning piano 😍
Yoooo thank you for this , really appreciate it !
I think it would be more profitable to start with the Harmonic Series. An Octave of C in the Bass followed by the fifth, root, third and fifth in the right hand. this is Still a triad, but the 5th is doubled. These are the four notes of a standard Bugle Call which are prevalent in almost all Western Music. These 4 Notes Frame the Pentatonic Scale, which Frame the Blues Scale. Once you have these notes down you can apply the standard Morphology that Arrangers use, Minor, diminished, sus 9, sus 4, Altered, Sharp 5, sharp 5 to the Ninth ( which Miles uses in Airegin and which the first four bars of the Melody by Sonny outline this Methodology I'm talking about). Ear Training is sort of misrepresented these days because teachers play random intervals without a tonal center. The Harmonic Series just fits the ear like a glove and if you don't start there you are sort of Lost in the woods. The fact that thousands of even tone deaf Soldiers could Learn, Recognize and Respond to a wide variety of Bugle Calls (as many as 100), is sort of embedded in our Musical DNA.
great video, ill practice this from now on
Thank you for this video.
P. S. I love the snow in the background.
Hi Noah! Thank you for this great information. I have a question. I can listen to a favourite song a few times and then have it play back in my head, almost as it it were recorded on tape. I can hear the melodies and instruments like I was listening to it again. This is true even with songs like the Piano riff played by Edgar Winter in the song "I'm Not Sure" on the Second Winter album. I've been told that I have a good ear for music. I am currently learning to play Tin Whistle and want to start with Piano. Is my ability to hear music after listening to it a benefit to learning an instrument?
Hey Donna, yes, absolutely. That ability will likely make it far easier for you to naturally absorb melodies and chords as you are learning. For many people, it can be difficult to get away from the page, meaning it takes a long time to memorize. That means they are always simultaneously reading and working on skills. If you can easily memorize music, you can quickly step away from the page and focus on the skills themselves. Hope that makes sense, and keep up the great work!
@@NoahKellman Thank you for your reply Noah. You are so right! I amazed myself! Just 3 or 4 days after buying my first keyboard, I'm playing the right hand melody of the Intro. to Fur Elise. That's with correct posture and fingering as well. The scales and fingering are coming really easy to me with my right hand so far.
thank u . very helpful
this is so helpful, tysm:]!
I'm so glad to hear that!
I got E! Im so proud c:
Wonderful beginners guide!
Thank you so much!!!😊
Thank you! I will try!
Do you recommend using solfege in this practice? Like, is it better to use do mi Sol instead of saying c e g?
Great lesson!
At 2:30 I counted on my mnd to have got "G"
Thanks for the exercise!
Thank you
Your method to identify intervals is pretty good
thank you sir for your valuable lesson.
how much time one should practise this and what are its application?
The ability to learn to play a song just by listening to it is usually what drives people to get good at this. Also impressing your non musician freind's by saying you have "perfect pitch. "
Thanks!
Just watched another vid on using soflage. Now on a journey to learn my intervals!
Super, very useful video, thank u
Thanks so much
Greatings everyone! I haven't got a lot of experience in singing but if I'm not mistaken You're singing an octave lower than you actually playing (6:15). Please help me somebody out with clarifying this. THX!!!
Thanks for the good contents
love that sweater. where did you get it?
Hey, so you said if you've had experience with ear training to check out some of the other videos. Do you have any more advanced ear training videos? I grew up with a basic concept of Perfect Pitch that I developed on my own, and now I want to work on hearing cords, Etc instead of just hearing single notes. Do you have any videos that are about that? If not, do you have any channels you would recommend? Also, just a quick side note I am mostly blind, so I would need something where the instructions are read out loud rather than being text on the screen in the video
Hey Daniel, I don’t have any videos about perfect pitch specifically, but I do have other more advanced relative pitch ear training videos!
Here’s a video I released recently: czcams.com/video/HB_jl6xAaZ0/video.html
Nice work on the site
I would like to ask a question sir can this be done and a guitar not a keyboard
Can you use solfege as a substitute instead of singing out the note name?
Very helpful.
Hello. I am deaf in my right ear. Do you have any specific suggestions for me? For some reason I have strong relative pitch, but when I try to learn perfect pitch I start out okay but get worse as I practice guessing notes. Thank you.
Really very good teaching..well done..
Thanks, Samuel. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a lot!!! 🙏🚀
What does it mean to keep note in C scale??
Amazing stuff Noah thank you ive been trying to learn sincy 2008 and i still dont get it
Glad I’m recognized all three correctly.. I thought I wouldn’t
Thanks❤
love this. one question tho, how come it starts with C and not A? sorry. :C
I love the falling snow ♡
I would like to know how intervals can help me to recognize the chord progression of a song
Very good Nohal bhai
cool, this is helpful! wish you greatness 🎹
Thanks!!
Wow amazing video and not to sound like a hater. this C d e etc like this will take ETERNAL LIFE..... But better than nothing. Of course this is youtube might not want to give everything here since it needs much work and people might not even watch and follow all you need to give them to perfect their ear, So I get it. good job sir.
I can be able to learn to recognize the notes but I dont know if I'm hitting them correctly (on pitch).
U are a gud teacher
So... if i cant tell what note is what and im trying to train my ear how do you expect me to be able to sing it?
Nevermind just needed to watch some more.
Sweet sweater!!!!
The second note was G🗣‼️🔥
