Intervals practice FAQ
Where to start if I’m a beginner?
Start with simple intervals, such as minor thirds and perfect fifths. Practice a minor and a major interval and pay attention not only to the distance but also to the quality (major or minor). Practice daily for a few minutes using a piano or an ear training app, gradually adding more complex intervals.
