hello-
I'm working on ear training right now and i have probably invested a couple weeks into interval training. in an estimation, how long (say practicing 1 hour a day on ear training, 5x a week) would you be able to hear intervals with a high level of accuracy?
sorry for this type of question... it just seems like im getting nowhere with my studies.
Everyone's natural abilities vary a great deal, so there's really no standard to go against. Most people can identify octave intervals very quickly, and perfect fifths and fourths follow soon after... but identifying major and minor intervals correctly can take quite some time.
It all comes with practice, though, so just stay focused and don't worry about the rate of progress - it'll come.

right now i'm working on 4ths and 5ths... are those two good to start with?
i'd say the best in order to practice is
1) Octave
2) Fifth
3) Third
4) Fourth
Major 2nd Oh Susanah ("Oh, I Come from...")
Major 3rd (1-3): Oh, When the Saints...,
(3-1): Swing Low Sweet Chariot,
Lou, Lou, Skip to My Lou
Minor 3rd Greensleeves ("Alas, My Love")
Perfect 4th (1-4); Here comes the bride
Perfect 5th (1-5): Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
(5-1): Eerie Canal, ("I had a mule")
Major 6th (1-6): Momma's Little Baby Loves Shortnin' Bread
(6-1): Nobody Knows the Trouble I Seen
Major 7th (1-7): Bali High (1-8-7), The Pajama Game
Octave (1-8 ): Somewhere Over the Rainbow
cool where dya get that from?
It's a list that has been out on the internet for a while. It isn't my invention by any means.
