Sure thing Benjamin! As of this message there were 6 games I ended up focusing on, Chordelius - lv 131 (red star) Departurer - lv 172 (red star) Scale Spy - lv 108 Inversionist - lv 100 Melody Hunter - lv 72 Intervalis - lv 152 Everything else is hovering around lv 10-25 because I haven't gotten to them yet, except the exercises that require a mic which I haven't really done much of. I had a lot of free time this week so I don't really have much advice lol, part of me wanted to get to diamond quickly so I could stop caring about points and treat the exercises with more care and intention, like trying to do the interval exercises while guessing the interval name AND the individual note names using relative pitch. The best exercise on this site for ear training, in my opinion, is inversionist. The unusual chords it gives you in the later levels made me think very differently about how I listen for individual notes in harmonies. A very difficult game but the gains you get from it are incredible.
Far out. Level 100 for Inversionist?! I'm at 200+ for the interval games but only at 14 for inversions. You've inspired me to try harder... I wish there was a game that played them as arpeggios, progressively getting faster until all notes are played simultaneously.
@Dazzle Brimbles don't forget to use the lifebuoy button! It plays the chord in a slow arpeggio, can be very useful if you're having a hard time hearing the individual notes. But as far as the exercise itself goes, your interval training will help a lot with it. It's important to listen how the intervals in the chord are arranged, such as with major and minor chords and how the bottom interval in 2nd inversion is a perfect fourth, stuff like that.
@NGUYEN TIEN Sure! When you're doing scale spy, it can maybe help to listen to a scale as having a color or flavor to it. It's not too difficult to hear the difference between the major and minor scale, but it can be tricky for some of the other minor scales like harmonic and melodic minor and some of the modes, so it's important to pay attention to the characteristics these scales have and the color they give. Along with this, interval exercises can help immensely as it can help you to listen to the differences between scales more analytically. If you're doing scale spy and it gives you a scale that starts by going up in a major 2nd interval, and the only available options are major and phrygian, you can choose major and get the answer right before the scale even finishes playing because you know phrygian starts with a minor 2nd interval so the answer couldn't be phrygian.
@Colin Aiken thank you Colin! Love your sound module rack by the way, big fan of proteus.
Congratulations! Such an amazing pace requires a good bunch of skills, including strong determination and probably also rock-hard buttocks. And a good chair. 😬
