Eartraining using song beginnings truly fails when it comes to the minor third down. Here's why... it's almost comical! Better do ear training the right way!
00:00 Minor Third Descending
00:13 Context: Major
00:23 Context Added - Minor to Major
00:47 Major to Minor
Transcription
One of my pet peeves is that on many many lists that you find on the internet that tell you about the minor third descending, the context of the song they reference is actually in major.
Fine that's a minor third but - not so minor anymore.
Minor third. It's as major of a context that you can be.
A descending major triad once again.
It's not wrong. These are all minor thirds, but they happen in a major context. It's much more important to hear things in context. I'd much rather you hear that's the five to the three rather than hearing it's a minor third, because music doesn't happen in isolation and the moment where we need it - you need it in context.
