Hi Everyone, hoping you can provide me some advice. I've never been terribly adept at ear training. Always had decent, innate, relative pitch. Any better than that was a pipe dream, though I can talk the talk.

Here's my question using an example of the game Departurer - Are a lot of you sitting alongside a MIDI keyboard, plunking along until you find the root of the interval, then playing back the tone from the game until you can find what the corresponding interval is by then plunking around on the keys to find the second note?

Or, is there a hint anyone can give on how to be more successful on these types of detection games?

I grew up playing drum kit but taking theory classes so rhythm I do lovely at, but intervalic and harmonic detection is a BEAR for me, though I am not a total neophyte by any means.

Any tips would be super appreciated! Thanks!
