This week's ear-training exercise for developing perfect pitch
Can you sing each interval of a major scale?
Singing up the scale is called ascending. Singing down the scale is called descending.
After several attempts at singing only ascending intervals, begin practicing descending intervals. (It will help if you practice just saying the solfegge ( do, re, me, etc.) in reverse first until it becomes automatic.
- Beginning on "A" below middle "C" on the piano (or choose any key that is comfortable to sing ) -
- Sing "do " (dough) as the first tone
- Sing "re " (ray) as the second tone
- Sing "me " as the third tone
- Sing "fah " as the fourth tone
- Sing " so " as the fifth tone
- Sing " lah " as the sixth tone
- Sing " Tee " as the seventh tone
- Sing " do" as the eighth or final tone of the major scale

Ear Training Exercise for the Week
The ear-training exercise for this week is to sing a Perfect 5th and really be able to establish this interval in your mind. Remember...what you think, is what you sing. So you must be able to hear this interval in your head first.
If you don't have my Ear Training CD program - play a P5th on the piano or keyboard by playing 1 to 5. You can play from c to g, singing c as 1 and g as 5. You may begin on any piano key, just make sure your first key is 1 and the fifth key is 5. EX - g to d. or f to bflat.
Repeatedly sing this 5th until it is well established in your head.

Now, get to work! :)
