Interval Training Tip: Don't try to memorize every interval as a completely abstract piece of music theory.

Instead, associate intervals with the way they feel. A minor 2nd sounds extremely close and tense, while an octave sounds wide and spacious. With practice, your brain starts recognizing these distances almost automatically.

For singers and songwriters, interval training can make it easier to find melodies, harmonize vocals, learn songs by ear, and write stronger melodic hooks.
