10 INTER VALS, CHORDS, AND EAR TRAINING.

Exercise in Ear Training.

Place the pupil where he cannot see the keyboard. Try to

teach him to recognize by ear the intervals in Examples 7 and 8.

Play the perfect prime and the perfect fth in succession.

\

g '96- '6-

Tell the pupil what intervals you have played, and let him dis-

tinguish between them ; do the same with the perfect fourth and

the perfect fth :

a? It

'9' '9-

then play the perfect octave and the perfect fourth. Play other

combinations of perfect intervals till the pupil can distinguish

between the perfect intervals; then play the perfect intervals

separately till the pupil can recognize them all. Then treat the

major intervals in the same way. Play perfect and major inter-

vals in succession, until the pupil can recognize any interval

given in Examples 7 and 8, when it is struck separately.

If the pupil has not a quick ear, let him distinguish at rst

between the major second and perfect fth, the major seventh

and perfect fourth, etc.

Strike each interval simultaneously and successively, that the

pupil may learn to recognize the intervals when they are played

either way. . -
