In the Inversionist game, when I get the answer wrong, I am shown music notation for the correct answer. I do read music notation, but not fast enough to identify what my mistake was. Any advice on how to capture the correct answer, so that I can actually use it as a way to learn for next time?
Press c and it gives you as much time as needed to examine the mistake. Additionally, you can click on each answer to hear the differences. Then press c again to move on to the next question.
Thank you so much! Actually, the C key by itself doesn't seem to work on my Mac. But if I press C and then quickly hit the spacebar, it works as you described. It's a huge improvement for me.
Calibrator: How do you guys do with calibrator? For me: 1) Calibrator never shows up in my daily lessons - even though it has the box checked in my settings. 2) I find it difficult that even on level 1 we're given compound intervals (m13, etc.), and often in different octaves from the other options. I still haven't passed level 1 even though I'm 100 on intervalis and departure. I keep thinking there is a compound interval when there's not, or I fail to recognize the compound interval when it's there. Any tips?
Hey guys, just a question on sus2 and sus4 chords, I find them quite difficult to tell apart. Personally I try to mentally take apart the notes which takes quite some time, or feel out where the tonal cluster is and flip a coin.
Does anyone have any tips on this, or it's just a matter of practice?
I would say get familiar with the sound of a M2 and P4 against its root. The better you get at hearing those, start to add M2 and P4 against its root and major 3rd.
I break things up into smaller chunks if the whole is to difficult.
Hey, I used to get them always wrong, but after a while never anymore. Maybe you could attempt to just practice these two to tell them apart? It's mostly what happens with every interval, we all struggle with one or the other.
I just realized that one of the reasons I was getting them wrong is because I was hearing the sus2 as wanting to resolve down (for instance I was hearing Csus2 (C D G) wanting to resolve down to G/B (B D G). Every time I heard a sus2 I would mark it as sus4 because sus4's resolve down, but really, I was 'resolving' the wrong note. Maybe that helps.
