I hate myself for not having a good “musical ear”…. The idea of training with this regard always seemed to be kinda irrelevant if not to say “for dummies” or for pathetic folks (like myself) as it should be kinda natural, shouldn’t it?.. (like how can you train yourself to have a longer leg? 😂 - I train as an athlete, however, even at 65 - kinda makes sense?) How could I even expect to catch up with a musically gifted guy if I have to start on THIS with you 😂 ? Really pathetic…. However, I do wonder through Classic Squeek channel exercises once in a while (tough sh.t)…. So, I tried this test, too (listening on bad phone speakers). Easy (yeah, comforting!) but… Not always :-(((. Interesting experience! I kinda felt that before experimenting on keyboard that my brain can trick me on sounds further than a fifth: it just wants to hear the mirroring interval that is closer, especially like a leading tone, say A4 to B3. Or, in your example, with the “Timpani” I definitely hear F4 down Bb3, not UP! That’s sounds like my brains are mis-wired selectively ??? :-((( Subscribed
I'm a little traumatized about how hard I found lesson 1.2 even though I have done some ear training before and can for example identify major intervals usually.
You probably have a hard time separating pitch and timbre. Practice singing along to the notes and these types of exercise eventually feel a lot less weird.
I’m not a researcher so any evidence I have is anecdotal. I’ve had a student in my choir who sang loudly off pitch for two years, but just this year I noticed they were on pitch. I had another guitar student who didn’t realize he was playing his chords off by a fret along to a song, but a few years later he was a pretty good guitarist. I read a few scientific articles on amusia, some suggesting you could improve with practice and some suggesting you can’t with true amusia. I remain a bit skeptical though because I couldn’t find anything on how long people were studied, and I know making improvements in music happens slowly over a long period of deliberate practice. If you can identify major intervals, then you can definitely measure distances in pitch with your ear. My advice is usually to spend your energy on practicing and not worrying.

@@joeluegersmusicacademy Have you seen students recover from this condition?
