A perfect fifth, heard six ways in about six minutes.
By the end you'll have made more comparisons than a week of drilling gives you.
Last time I said your ear learns by comparison and not repetition. Watch that one first if you haven't.
This is what that actually looks like. Play along or just listen.
Six angles on one interval:
melodic ascending
melodic descending
harmonic, as a single color
harmonic split, attention on the bottom note and then the top
hidden inside a triad
inverted, where the fifth becomes a fourth
Most people who can nail an ascending fifth stall completely on one going down. That's normal. It's also the proof that they memorized a shape instead of learning a distance.
Halfway through you'll be moving a flashlight around inside a sound that isn't changing. That's a skill, it's trainable, and almost nothing teaches it.
A drill gives you one of these and calls it ear training. Your ear needs all six and more, because music is going to hand you all six at once.
Do this with a fourth tomorrow. A third the day after. Thirty minutes, then go live your life.
The first week of Flawless Ear Training is free. Seven days, one audio lesson a day, thirty minutes or less.
