Interval Recognition

Two notes will play one after the other. Pick which musical interval you heard. Select only the intervals you want to practice — start small, add more as you get fluent.

Intervals to practice

Selected: 3 / 13

How to Play

Each round, two musical notes play in sequence (sometimes simultaneously). Your task: pick the correct interval — the distance between the two pitches — from four options. Easy mode includes only Major 3rd, Perfect 5th and Octave (the easiest to tell apart). Standard adds the rest of the diatonic intervals. Hard includes all 13 chromatic intervals including the tritone, minor 7th and major 7th. 12 rounds per session. Interval recognition is the foundational ear-training skill — once you can hear intervals, you can hear melodies, chords, and harmony.

Controls

Click the four labeled buttons to choose. Tap the speaker / replay area at the top to hear the interval again. After choosing, the correct option flashes green and a wrong pick flashes red, then the next round starts.

Tips & Strategy

Associate each interval with a song you know — this is how generations of musicians learn intervals. Examples: Major 2nd ='Happy Birthday' first two notes; Perfect 4th = 'Here Comes the Bride'; Perfect 5th = 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' first two notes; Octave = 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' first leap. Sing the interval back in your head before guessing. Replay as many times as you need at first — your brain will start hearing the gap automatically after a few weeks of practice.
