You're training your ear wrong

Everyone teaches ear training like a race. This is the opposite. The slow, almost stubborn method I actually used to build my ear, one note at a time. Most ear training courses move way too fast. You hear an interval a couple times, you "get it," and then it never really locks in. What worked for me was the opposite of that: strip everything down, take one interval, and spend real time with it until you know it for yourself and not because someone told you. In this video I walk through exactly how I do it: the whole step, the fourth, the minor third, the 10-minutes-on-one-thing practice, and why I think of intervals as feelings and colors rather than music math. It's a little abstract, it might sound insane, but it's how these things finally became permanent for me. 0:00 – What you'll be able to do 0:37 – Why most ear training fails 0:52 – Strip it down: one thing at a time 1:10 – Start with one note 1:52 – The whole step, and "Do–Re" 2:06 – 10 minutes, one interval 2:16 – Same interval, new notes (E → F♯) 2:36 – Understand it for yourself 2:59 – The fourth, and how it "feels" 3:53 – Scales, chords, and beyond 4:16 – Give each interval its own day 4:44 – Notes as feelings, not math 5:00 – Final thoughts
