Wikipedia Interval Training Resource

Forgive me if this has been posted before.

I sat in on a gig the other day and was displeased with myself as the band proceeded to medley the song we were playing with another one (with a completely new section) and my ear did not keep up.

Intervals are the Jedi skills of music, so I knew right where to start practicing. I quickly identified that I could sing ascending intervals no problem but descending were pretty atrocious.

I found this resource from Wikipedia that was exactly what I needed to begin practicing effectively. Best part is, it can be edited to add new melodies.

My time and feel have always been strengths. Time to work on them weaknesses!

Cool link, thanks. The same idea applies to recognising Keys by associating a tune to the Key.

I have an app on my phone that's fine. Ive been using a guitar or keyboard to go through the root progressions that I do to take things through all 12 keys multiple times.
