    Interval recognition is an important part of ear training and notion transcribing from audio to paper. However, it's also important to see and here these intervals in relation to tonal centers to better understand these intervals in the function of a piece. In the example of Beethoven's Fur Elise Bagatelle, the d# into the alternating e is a minor second, but it doesn't function as a minor second in relation to its key of a minor. It functions as a non chord tone of a sharp 4th, more as a non chord passing tone of sorts. My point is that interval training is important but relationship training is an extension of music theory too.

      @@_jordanhayles The BEST tool to use is to practice Ear & Voice Training Exercises that you can find on UA-cam. We didn't have those same resources years ago when I was going to school for my Music Education degree, but they're essentially the same approach. For example, the tools use popular melodies and isolate an interval within that melody. So an interval of an octave can be heard and sung until memorized based upon the octave jump of "Some-where" (is the octave jump before the rest of the phrase "over the rainbow"). By using familiar tunes to absorb their intervals through listening and singing back those specific intervals, you'll train your ear AND mind to recognize the different intervals. You'll never need another instrument again to test intervals purely for their sound. If you get super familiar with this process, you'll be able to read and write music ALL in your head too. It's very useful, and it's something I use regularly when I don't have a piano nearby. Good luck!

    Great listening to music steps. I am a senior citizen trying to learn electronic keyboard for the past 2 years and yet to make any perfection. So it's my humble opinion that "learn piano in 7 days" or "play as soon as you hear" are all pep talks and just marketing. I am an avid follower of Pianote and listen to many tutorials of Mangold or Piano Pig etc too. For an average senior person who can spend "1 hour before the keyboard" for a day cannot attain these super levels. Even though after 2 years of sincere efforts@1hr a day of remote training, I could play refrains of any song but without applying those memorizing chords... So piano guys pl do not pull the long bow...

    Learning intervals is not functional or efficient. If you want to play tonal music, you need to practice tonal ear training. It's harder than learning a few intervals but it will get you somewhere at least. Intervals are only easy to recognize out of musical context, or in a very specific musical context. Like a perfect fifth could either be jumping from do to so or from re to la or from mi to ti in an ascending order. If you learn the star wars theme's perfect fifth, it's only going to help you in a third of ascending fifths cases (if it does help you at all).
    Also keep in mind that to apply interval ear training, you need to constantly make reference to two notes and to a learned melody, which is slow as hell.
    Learn music the way it's told in music schools please.
