Why are intervals important?
Intervals are the building blocks of melody. Hearing them helps with playing by ear, sight singing, transcription, improvisation, and composition.
Intervals
Interval ear training without guesswork
Intervals are the distance between notes. Training them helps you understand melodies, sing more accurately, transcribe faster, and hear musical motion clearly.
Practice intervals in Coco
Train direction on purpose
Ascending and descending intervals do not always feel like mirror images. Coco splits Climb and Fall so both directions get focused practice.
Name intervals and compare them
Naming intervals is useful, but comparison is useful too. Span trains the raw sense of which distance is wider, then naming becomes less abstract.
