Take note of which intervals were easy to identify, and which ones took a little time.  Practice writing out the intervals that you still find a little tricky:  a row of different fourths for example.  With a little practice, you should be able to identify interval sizes up to the octave quickly and accurately in any clef.

I just read a neat article that talks about the importance of music education, music theory, music teachers, and those who learn to read music

Enjoy the article and tomorrow we’ll be back to some great Music Reading Tips to help Anybody Learn How to Read Music!

The methods teaching how to read music still rely on techniques that were first developed several hundred years ago! Interestingly, almost every other area of study has very much advanced in its learning techniques.

Take for example science. It was once taught almost completely by book, and now of course, “lab” has become an integral part of learning almost any science. And the point of lab is to help you learn how to apply the information you just learned. (shouldn’t there be a lab portion in learning to read music?)

“Normal” methods of teaching to read music almost exclusively rely on some sort of homework like drawing notes for the application portion of the class. And while this might work great if your goal is to sight read one note at a time, it will leave you helplessly stranded if you want to read musical “phrases” (which is by the way how every one of world’s greatest musicians reads).

If you think of the greatest musician you know of; the one who can literally sit down and play almost any piece you set in front of him or her, they read line by line, NOT note by note. And EVERY book, manual, class or flashcard program teaches you to read note by note.

Fortunately, a few “rebel” musicians have recently begun dissecting traditional music education and have discovered several dramatic short cuts that can help even beginners learn to read music 2,5, in some cases even 10 times faster than the traditional method!

They’ve found that integrating at least 3 senses into all music reading education has dramatically sped up student’s learning, and it’s to teach about this that music reading tips was created.
