Hi Dreamaurora,

I can't even differentiate the 3rd and 4th interval when 2 notes are played successively. my teacher asked me to sing do re mi fa soh. Sang correctly. Once he played 2 notes and asked me the interval, i am completely lost. Can't fit the 2nd note anywhere either in mi or fa.
He will have to figure out how to help me. I have no idea what to do

I am little confused by what is your exact difficulty?. What exactly is your difficulty? Do you have difficulty pitching an interval from a given note e.g. I give you D and you must sing a perfect 5th above it. Or you have problem identifying interval? e.g. I play D then A and you must tell me the interval i.e. perfect fifth.

How about you practice singing the following?
Do re
Do mi
Do fa
Do so
Followed by interval going down:
Do ti (C b)
Do la (C a)
Do so (C g)
Do fa (C f)

That is how my son's teacher taught him.

Hi, Thanks for your suggestion. I will try out.

You play D then A. i must tell you perfect 5th. You play E then A, I must tell you perfect 4th. Last week and today I got them all wrong. Especially major 3rd and perfect 4th. perfect 2nd is ok. perfect 5th usually ok. very frustrated.

Ask yourself if the interval played sound like a song you know.

Thanks again. You have been very kind.
