Is there a way to make Interval Banks only play piano sounds instead of screeching ”Eeeeh”? I wasn’t able to figure out a pattern of when it uses piano samples versus human voice imitation.
You should be able to select an instrument before entering the game. Try scrolling down if you are unable to see the selection buttons on your screen. If you do not select an option manually, ToneGym will select one for you based on one of two randomization options in your account settings.
What's the deal with the slow page loads? I have been getting frequently load times of five to ten seconds or more. At the end of exercises, but even on the homepage. Is this being worked on?
Chord inversion is my nemesis. It makes me feel stupid and unmusical, but I'm getting better ever so slowly. It's shifting (glacially slowly) from a wild guess to actually hearing the difference. My next task is to get a better sense of the sound of 1st vs 2nd inversion. I sometimes move to my keyboard when I'm playing the game. I also usually have a window with ToneGym's Chord Player open.
You should honestly just ignore the chord inversion game at first, its significantly more difficult than the others. You definitely will improve if you practice consistently... but maybe not at Inversionist lol. (I'm no good at it either)
Lecture 15 - Gregorian Chant I thought this was going to be rather tedious. It turned out to be really flipping interesting, with the most engaging music so far. Go figure!
One thought on melodix: I think it would be very helpful to see what the first note is while it’s playing the melody, or have an ability to play the tonic before listening to the melody, at least in the beginning stages when there are too few notes played to establish the tonic easily. I find that I get a key established in my head that’s different from the actual key of the melody and then seeing the first note throws me off a bit. But perhaps it’s part of what needs training on my part. I use functional approach to recognize melodies instead of using relative pitch from the first note played.
Nikita if you scroll down there have been a few really good discussions about this game -- lots of good tips. I have no tips myself, as I am terrible at that game.
