    Very useful and it makes perfect sense to isolate the fundamentals.

    Thank you for your teachings. I participated in your course a few days ago.
    I felt a deep consonance with what you call like tonal gravitation.
    I think it’s a more fundamental way of perception than calculations on intervals.
    Especially I am sure about that, when I’m trying to find out the tonic in a chord progression.
    I’m looking forward to my reborn in this area.

    I wanted to sing for a professional choir and so I tried out for it. I didn't pass the audition but the choir director liked my vocal and wanted me to get vocal sight singing training. I was so naive when I started this journey two years ago. I knew nothing about sight singing. Now I can read music pretty well but I still struggle a little bit with ear training and sight singing.
    Sing in a choir is really challenging when I have to sing against the melody and sing in harmony. I've learned so much about music that I think that I could probably learn to play a musical instrument fairly quickly.
    What I do is memorize melodies from church songs with specific key signatures in my brain to identify what the note sounds like for specific a key signature. I have found 2 perfect melodies one for C Major and one for F Major. So when I try out again for the choir, I will be better prepared for the sight singing test.
    Working with a professional vocal teacher also helped me immensely. It's really rough.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. Check out other videos on our channel as they might help you further. Ear training plays a big role in what you are trying to achieve.

      @Use Your Ear Thank you for responding. Ear training is critically important for vocalists who sing in choirs. In my humble opinion, singing in a choir is harder than playing in an orchestra because of the difficulty of singing against the melody. I love instruments too and would love to learn keyboard or the soprano recorder. My life revolves around music, I absolutely love it.

    But what if you take this course and it gets clear you are not able to recognize keys at all?
    You can’t make progress if you don’t have this ability.

      Hi Nick, we teach you how to develop that skill from scratch. You don't have to worry, the course is going to work no matter your current level. This is not a fancy statement, it literally works even if you are starting from zero. I started from zero myself (I didn't have that skill when I started), so I know what it takes and our method has helped countless students acquire that skill from scratch. So, I understand your concern but you don't have to worry.

    Dear Master i admire your logics thoughts,but,sometihng intrigues m,y mind: interval study has not utility? in solfege how can us ignore it?we have a tonic the next note what does it represent? colors of different intensities? how unsderstand them,what is its measure or references?

      Hi Pedro, thank you for your comment. it sounds to me like you are mixing up interval-based thinking with solfege and other tonal-based ways of thinking. This video here might help you understand more about the big difference there is from one another and why you should avoid interval-based cognitive processes ua-cam.com/video/8PV9Oe3WE6I/v-deo.html thanks
