The Musical Intervals Tutor is a study aid to help you learn
the sounds of the basic music intervals from minor second to
perfect octave.
The key to recognizing intervals is repeated listening and singing back. To go to the interval study page, click Listen to Intervals.
If you would like to test your skill at identifying intervals, click Take Interval Test 1 (beginner), or Take Interval Test 2 (more advanced).
You can also listen to the different sequences of whole and half step intervals that make up various scales and modes by clicking Listen to Modes and Scales. And if you would like to test your knowledge of those sequences, click Take Mode Test.
What inspired this site?
As a graduate student and teaching assistant for an undergraduate
theory class at Stanford University, and then as an ear
training instructor at Foothill College in Los Altos CA,
I very much enjoyed teaching intervals and other musicianship
topics. This site is an homage to my music teaching days,
and I hope you will find it useful.
