We will be starting Ear Training in the studio after our May recital, so I thought I'd give you a heads up and share a fun way to remember what the different intervals sound like. We will only take a few basic intervals here, and then later will include all types of intervals.
Today we will review the Major Intervals only. Are you ready?
