Joe, I play classical guitar and have had no problems adapting this material to the guitar, I have learned and improved so much in just two weeks of following these exercises, i am so great-full a big thank you for putting these podcasts out All the best Dave Yorkshire England
Thanks, Dave! I studied both piano and classical guitar in college. I tried to make these videos non-instrument specific enough for just about any musician to use, so I’m glad it’s working! I do reference the piano a lot, but the layout of the piano just makes so much sense. I even tell non-piano players to “think in piano” with certain music theory concepts.
Interesting, I've been making dance music for over 10 years (not classically trained) and I tried doing the do-re-mi's with my mouth and missed every single one, lmao. I connected the midi piano and got them all within a couple seconds. Never too late to keep learning. Great job on these training videos! I'll be here practicing for a while 😉 Liked, subbed etc 👊
Absolutely agree! 🎵 Ear training is so crucial, and it's often overlooked in favor of music theory. This video is a fantastic resource to help shift that focus! These exercises are perfect for developing a strong musical ear. Thanks for sharing this valuable insight! 🙌

Yes, I saw that one. Excellent. I think there will be a wide range of skill levels getting started, so I'll post this one for sure. Thank you! @@joeluegersmusicacademy
Ive finally started to move my way into professional orchestra settings, which has just made me anxious about my intonation since its always up and down and shifts drastically. Time to buff my ears 🔥🔥🔥
Best of luck to you! You might be interested in this playlist I created of all of my ear training videos, sorted in order of importance/difficulty. ua-cam.com/play/PL40pFkWbVtdlfiS6YGQ3zr9mQRj7naT19.html&si=lvxx9abgahmlDOTX
I can’t agree more. I’m in a few music theory groups online and every day I see people talking about polyrhythms, serialism, weird scales, and so on, and I always hope to myself that they’ve really solidified their ability to hear basic concepts in action before digging into things that the average musician doesn’t need 99% of the time.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy its worse than that ! names dont matter and probably harm way more than they help. take a great church musician whos been making music in a practical way for years. you can add a bit of theory "oh we call that sound phrygian, like minor with the flat 2" in one second. the name has almost no value ! _the value is in having a deep personal relationship to the sound_ !
To counter that, I would say that the way the brain learns best is by putting vocabulary to things and chunking concepts into categories. Jazz musicians probably have the best ears out of any musician, and most of them know the terms, although they have also have the ability to put all of it in the back of their head and just play.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy thats probably right, but i think jacob collier has it right, _the order is critical_ after it has become your own you can label it if it helps you bracket and multiply and expand it etc *but* its a terrible thing to teach people the concept before they have any practical experience with it i really believe that is catastrophic and basically widespread in education !
Why didn't my music instructor start me of w this over music theory? All the music theory I learnedl and I still feel I haven't developed as a musician 😢. Thank u for sharing!
Really glad to know that this kind of thing is available, but I must be too new, cause I don't know where to start. Maybe I'll find a more traditional method? @Joe, feel free to hold my hand and learn me how to start!
Great question! I have a series of over 50 exercises on my Patreon that starts with the most basic skills and gradually ramps up the difficultly. The first couple exercises are free and then the rest are for my 5$ tier and up. Eventually this will be a purchasable E-book. Here it is: www.patreon.com/collection/90196? And you could also work through this playlist I put together: ua-cam.com/play/PL40pFkWbVtdlfiS6YGQ3zr9mQRj7naT19.html&si=v53NUYshDa3rUb1I
Thanks for pointing that out. The audio is correct, and the letter names displayed are correct. The chord progression is indeed D-Bb-C-D. For the Roman numerals it looks like I stopped typing too soon. Should be I-bVI-bVII-I
This lays a solid foundation, although it probably doesn’t cover enough to help you easily learn complex jazz songs, atonal music, complex orchestral harmonies, and so on. But it’s a good starting place.
What is purpose of interval training, Could you please explain for me . I can hear the functional note- scale degree, triad, and bass note in key however I think hearing interval is unnecessary. I am looking forward to hearing your answer . Thank you
Honestly, functional ear training is more practical than interval ear training, but I don’t think any one kind of exercise will give you everything you need. Learning intervals is all about helping your ear recognize precise distances between notes. It helps when you are working out the individual notes of a complex chord or learning music without an obvious tonic. Intervals are a basic building block, so it can’t hurt to know what they sound like. I have a vocalist friend who performed an atonal opera piece, and I asked her how in the world she sang the right notes since there’s no “key” to latch onto. Her answer was that she knew her intervals.
@@joeluegersmusicacademy Great answer. Thank you so much. I usually ignore interval exercise because I don't know how to apply it. Usually I find the key and use functional ear training to find the note all it. Now I will practice interval exercise. Thank you
I believe learning to hear things first is far more useful and practical, although learning the theory and aural skills parts at the same time also works. What you don’t want to do is learn the theory without ever connecting it to what things sound like.
I have about 20 more exercises in this series to finish, but once that is done I’m going to make it into an album on Spotify/Apple. Hands-Free Ear Training ua-cam.com/play/PL40pFkWbVtdlAY_g71Pf9RBy97mqXpQHK.html The first 21 of these have mp3 downloads on my Patreon for 1$ total.
Good question- the chord progression in the background provides the tonal center. It would be easier if I played a scale or something first, but this is a more real-world example.
A big part of singing is having a good ear to figure out if you are on the correct pitch, so yes it should help, although I don’t really get into vocal technique.
doesn't it make more sense for training to tell us the note, interval, chord etc first and then play it? with the sound first, it's more a test not training.
I guess is more useful like this because you train to recognize them. In the sense that when you hear something you there is nobody that tells you the intervals so you train to guess
Your descending interval exercises aren't really descending. I don't need the second tone to tell the interval. At the moment when I hear the first note I already know the interval. This is because I still have the base note in my ear which is lower than your first note. So in reality these exercises are ascending as well. I could propose you various fixes, but now when you know the problem you'll surely come up with your own solutions.
Yes I’ve mostly stopped including them except when I’m teaching kids. I think the one time it’s useful to include unisons is with harmonic intervals because a I’ve worked with a lot of people who hear harmonic octaves as unisons.
Do you you have a specific time stamp with a correction? A common misunderstanding is that I speak the name of an interval and then immediately play it. Rather, these questions are a quiz. I play an example while you guess the answer and THEN I speak the answer.

The last chord in the progression at 1:12:28 seems wrong to me, too … F# = Vb … ?! 🤔🤷🏻♂️
Also, at 1:13:12 … Am7 = i7b … ?
The b being on the end seems odd, but you use different shorthand notation to me, so … ?
