Melodic 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.)
Intervals are given in half-steps (1 = half step, 2 = whole step, 3 = minor third, etc...). Click the "traditional names" button if you prefer.

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.

It would be nice to have the option to select to practice intervals either upward ( c - d) or downward (d - c).
I find downward intervals much more difficult to hear.
Thank you, Guus Wijte |

| Thanks tmt -- I found the bug, it's fixed. The first two questions in a level will no longer always have the same answer. |

| What I meant is that if the first interval is a M2 then the second interval is a M2, if the first interval is M7, than the second interval is a M7, but not necessarily the same notes. It happens to me every time. |

| I'm pretty sure it's just you... the lower note of the interval is generated entirely at random. The interval is also chosen at random (though the process is a bit more involved... to be sure that no one interval is too significantly overly represented in any level). I just refreshed three times and got three different intervals... |

| Hi, is it just me or are the first 2 intervals always the same for both the melodic and harmonic drills? |
