1 - Basic - Interval Ear Trainer Flashcards

The objective of "Interval Ear Trainer" is to help you master ear training skills to identify the sound of intervals. An interval is the distance in pitch between 2 notes. Listen and identify each interval sound as: minor 2, Major 2, minor 3, Major 3, Perfect 4, Perfect 5, minor 6, Major 6, minor 7, Major 7, Perfect 8. BONUS: tritone (3 whole tones - 3 whole steps). A tritone is the interval between the Perfect 4 and Perfect 5 (Aug 4 or dim 5). UltimateMusicTheory.com (148 cards)
