I started with the tutor "interval comparison" and right now I am working on lesson 16 without success.
How to you know witch interval is greater when there is no common note?
Everytime I try to compare between the two intervals , the higher notes interval sounds greater than the lower notes.
(I am using string instrument for this tutor).
It's a psychological reflex. In previous lessons, you were probably trying to identify the higher pitch to find the largest interval. It's completely normal to do that. But now you have to focus on each interval as a 2-note element.
but , how do you approach to that?
Are you trying to hear the sound that both notes makes together or is it something else?
in ex. 13-15(maj\min 2) I could identify which is major and which is minor(and that major is always greater interval so I chose that answer).
but now I don't know what to do.
