[quote=\"phoenix8\"]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.

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.[/quote]Try some interval association. Ask yourself if the interval played sound like a song you know.

Thanks again. You have been very kind.

Some more noob questions.

1) do you let your kid go back to school after his piano exam?
2) if no, can still choose to wear school uniform to exam? We don’t have a presentable wardrobe for the kid unless tshirt and shorts are ok, are they?

Just wear his best and neatest school uniform to exam. That's totally fine. ;D

I usually send back to school after exam. However, for an afternoon exam - one of my son's teacher actually asked me to take him out of school early to warmup. First time I'd heard of that, but I still took up that suggestion. Worked well. Took him out at around 11am, had early lunch, went home to practise, bathe, changed, then went for exam at 3pm. Timing was much more comfortable. If not, school ends around 1.30pm, probably more rushed.
