The way I trained my pitch recognition, was taking a song that I really enjoyed, and tried slowing it down, to the point where I could recognize all of the notes.
Yep, that's how I started as well. Good tip!
I have trouble identifying the same note played in different octaves To my ears, the C4 doesn't sound the same as C5 or C6. I can't seem to hear that the note is the same.
i have no clue how musicians are able to figure that out. i have no clue at all how a specific note sounds lol
do you play an instrument? if so hit C4 and hit C5 together. listen closely. then hit C4 and D5 together and then C4 and B5. you will hear it trust me. you just need to learn recognize it. :)
I always thought I was good at this, I just never stepped it to the next level to instantly know what note it is by hearing it.
As somebody with perfect pitch but sucks at using it, I think the method you're using is perfect for training both relative pitch and perfect pitch. Thanks!
My relative pitch is so good after taking music theory in high school XD
Those who have perfect pitch: you are SOO LUCKYYY
I learnt to play by ear by putting everything in the most comfortable key for whatever instrument I'm playing, such as Bb for trombone and tuba or C for ocarina. I have pretty good relative pitch, but I couldn't tell you what key on a piano equates to a pitch that you play or sing.
Hello! Dear David
I'd like to thank you you for your videos. I myself recently (and by recently I mean like, yesterday) got my first ocarina. with a lot of discouragement from people around me believing that a do nothing such as myself couldn't figure it out, after about a day I was prepared to give it up, but thanks to you and your videos, I'm learning!(even if it is by one sour note at a time) I'm grateful to you and your channel, so again! thank you!
I teach middle school and my students would love this! We have TVs in our classrooms! I'm going to show them tomorrow!!
Awesome Britaney, please let me know how your students liked it! :D
+David Erick Ramos - Ocarina Sure!!! I'll let you know what they think :)
After just a month and a half of practicing recognition and singing scale degree every day, it got super easy to identify relative notes to the tonic. I guessed all the notes right just humming. In fact, getting good at this is easier than getting good at playing...
By far one of the most useful videos ever!
hi david, (much appreciated if you read this, thank you)been watching your videos for years, I was introduced to the ocarina like anyone else, zelda ocarina of time. I started with a five hole sweet potato, then I got better and practiced on a 12 hole tenor ocarina and now I play on a double chamber ocarina, I always practice by ear, I don't know how to read music, but by listening somebody can learn so much.
one of my favorite songs I play from you is bad apple, I love the fast paced notes on it
Got almost all right. Only confused with E and F. Tried a couple of times already to write notes for songs or soundtracks down and it's much easier after you got the first note.
Me, a person with perfect pitch watching this video: *Interesting...*
Oh, I have super powers.
This is great! Thank you for making a video explaining and going through the process of something I used to be able to do as a kid, but have since lost that ability. Picking up the ocarina has helped with learning pitches.
+Amo Scribere I confused a couple of them in the second octave, but I was also going by my head, not with an actual instrument. Had I gotten my ocarina out, it would've been easier probably...
This was incredibly helpful, I found myself improving rapidly within the one video!
Happy to hear it!!
"You can use any instrument for this lesson"
me: opens 3xOSC
Dr. Jiggles hehe 3xosc in blood
Something that I suck at.
Don't worry...a lot of people struggle with this. That's why I made the video :)
+Cynthia Guo I feel you, bro .-.
Especially when the b thingy and hashtag gets involved
You mean Flats and Sharps lololol
s1r_dr2g0n yup, but thats what it look like
This is so much fun to practice with!!
Why am I only finding this video NOW?
What the hell UA-cam algorithms??
I'm one of those people that can learn songs completely by ear.
The problem is that....I can't read music, so there's kinda no other choice for me except learning it by ear, or tabs....if I can find them. :P
It's a lot more painful this way, that's for sure, lol, but it IS possible.
Just takes a lot of time to figure out the whole song of whatever it is that you're trying to remember.
Just remember, if you can't figure out the start of a song, it doesn't matter.
Find another part of the song that you CAN get notes on, and you'll be able to figure out the rest from there.
It sounds kinda stupid and counter-intuitive, but I promise, it's easier than it sounds. :P
This actually wasn't that bad for me because I'm in AP music theory, I recommend it to everybody interested in music, it also completely changes your overall perspective on music.
thank you so much!!!!! I'm in band, so I need this!!!!❤
What if someone does have perfect pitch but does not know note-note name relation by heart?
Thank you! That will help a lot!
i was born with this :)
This is kind of how I've played music since I started. I'm still not amazing at it and I definitely don't have perfect pitch, but I can find a note pretty quickly, sometimes on my first try. I keep getting better at playing music by ear. I don't play with sheet music, but I do know some basic music theory, which helps. Recently, I've been able to play several melodies, harmonies, and rhythms all at the same time in my head. I don't know the specific notes, that I'm thinking about, but it's cool to be able to hear music in your head when you're in complete silence. I can sometimes play some of the parts on my guitar or ukulele (at least the less complex stuff) pretty quickly. Hopefully, I'll be able to hear something in the future or think about something and be able to play it quickly. I'm guessing that's how Beethoven made his music after going def. He had some much experience with music that he could literally hear the symphonies in his head without hearing.
+David William A. I would like to be able to write music and read music in the future though. I'm trying to learn it on my own (with a fundamentals of music class that i took a couple of years ago, which helped quite a bit) and it's hard to find the motivation to learn it with distractions all around me. However, I hope to be good at playing by ear and music theory sometime in the future.
This is definately something I need to practice more :D
Thank you so much for sharing these videos! it's very motivating and very useful.
I love your channel and the cheerfulness that you always have when doing the videos :)
I do have a question about playing in general:
Do you wear hearing protection/earplugs while playing the ocarina or isn't it necesary?
The only sheet music I read was some 6th grade begginer's violin. I don't really read ocarina sheet music, but I play every song I know on ocarina just by ear. I learned every song I know mostly by ear.
Sounds like you solve... practical problems right?
+Gerardo Chávez That's right. Not problems like "What is beauty?"
I guess you would "fall on the condrums of
philosophy"...
Can you do a tutorial about sub holes
Ok, I got exactly one note right, by pure chance I guess.
I missed one, although I have been playing music for a very long time. I sometimes try to play the melody of a song I like by ear. It is interesting to find what notes I can't seem to find and how close to the original key I play it in if I am not listening to the song while finding it. Deathbed by Relient K always seems to lose me after I have been playing with it for a while. I think because their are so many key changes.
I got almost all of it.Or was it half? Almost 3/4 of it without using any instrument. Thx Doc 😁👍🏻
That is a fun game....i could play that for hours...im at work and dont even have an instrument... just guessing by listening and im down by 3
And the ONLY instrument i can play is an AM radio..and only average at that, tuning the channel in is tough, i got the volume fairly well figured out, and i can't wait to start learning the antenna adjustment
You should seriously make video.... with just that game...thats a great idea
Loved your vid
Thanks
I actually guessed D, lets go
ooh i got that perfect pitch
So I play piano but can't sing well at all, so I'm working on my pitch recognition. I was wondering if you practice enough, can you develop perfect pitch or is it something that you have to be born with?
Luc you can develope a perfect pitch any time.
with much practice, passion and love and respect for music
I think I have that thing where you know what note it is because I taught myself how to play the Pokémon theme without listening to it and I guessed that that piano note was E
I have a question can lugia's song be played on a 6 hole alto c fairy ocarina?
kept getting the note next to what you played.. only notes c b and a i got right. need more practice thanks
That's awesome you got close though. You're on your way!
pretty easy to hear the 5s and 7s. 2001 a space oddessey theme is 1-5 and 7 just begs to resolve to 8.
Yep, in the next video, I'm tackling intervals, which makes these exercises way easier!
I play violin- incredibly useful
Hey, I have a request. There is a song called Wolfsong by Denny Schneidemesser and I have been wanting to play it on my ocarina but I can't find any music for it. Can you help me out? Thanks!
I was born with perfect pitch. My piano teacher figured that out very early!
I have always been able to do that which I just thought I was different
I found each one
I was 1 note below every single time
Dear Dad
I've recently joined FaZe.
Its a blast playing with the FaZe members, we all get along.....
So how's your life?
Your son......
I'm stopping this it's too cringe worthy for me XD
we do this in chorus but do re mi
I failed
i actually got a lot right some how :O
I never knew I had perfect pitch
Could you put french subtitles on your tutorials, please ?
Easy to tell but I keep second guessing what I wrote down.
tought i was going to miss all the notes, unless C, but I actually didnt missed any. wow, wtf
I got every one and I don't have a keyboard in front of me. does this mean I have the super power?
Garrett Seals ...i only missed 3
I think there is an advantage by not having an instrument playing this game, cuz you really have to think about the note thats being played and figure out where its wedged into
I missed one note by 5 places but the other 2 i missed where right next to the correct note
so many of these I was off by a note actually using a instrument instead of my head might have helped though lol
Davy Dave! XD
Checkout my new mixtape droppin this Fall!
You can be born with it. I didn't lmao
Look at you with your backwards hat lol
i discovered that i am verry good at relative pitch just got one wrong! :D
Oh god, I'm so horribly bad at this.
I have that gift 😜
5 mistakes. I was actually not bad
I sucked so hard at this. I hate to hear the notes
Keep working at it. It's definitely one of the best music skills to have and anyone can get it with practice!
Thanks for the Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Honora Xenndrew Magic (just google it)? It is a good one of a kind guide for learning pitch recognition to master absolute pitch
and relative pitch minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my work buddy at last got cool success with it.
hahahhahahajajajja
This didn't help at all!
FIRST LOL
