Listen to two notes and identify the interval
Interval ear training — hearing two notes and identifying the distance between them — is how musicians develop relative pitch. It teaches you to hear relationships between notes, a foundation for playing by ear, transcribing melodies, and understanding harmony. Practice is free in your browser and requires no signup.
Begin with unison, fifth, and octave; add thirds and fourths; then introduce seconds, sixths, sevenths, and the tritone. Later levels widen the range and mix directions. The intervals you miss appear more often in future questions.
Notice whether the space sounds narrow or wide, stable or tense, rather than chasing each pitch. Start with a small set and add intervals only when the current group feels automatic. Short, regular sessions make comparisons easier to retain.
Reliable interval recognition helps you pick out melodies, hear chord movement, and catch wrong notes. Combine it with note reading to connect what you hear with what you see on the staff.
