Harmonic Interval ID
The drill below is a speed drill - use the keyboard to enter numbers more quickly! (Use minus "-" for 11 and equals "=" for 12.)
Greg's Tips
Each interval has its own distinct color and sound. While at first it may be useful to sing the interval and try and determine where it falls in the scale ("Is that 3-4 or 1-2?") in the end for this sort of drill it's best to try and let go of tonal references a bit and just recognize the particular qualities that each atonal interval has.
Next Steps
This transfers perfectly to music with two (or more) parts. Find music with two singers or two instruments and listen for the colors of these intervals between them. Some of my favorites are:
- Bach 2-Part Inventions (especially the E Major invention)
- Classic 60's Folk Singing: Simon and Garfunkel, Peter Paul and Mary, etc...
- Renaissance Masses & Motets
