249: Q&A - I'm getting no results from my ear training - should I give up?
About this episode
We had a great question from @Lutemann on YouTube this week:
"So I wanted to be able to play on sax what I hear in my head. I wrote out 60 diatonic patterns (Example: 5, 4, 1, 7, 6, 8). Then I would pick a key and sing these patterns while fingering notes on the sax. I did this for a couple of months and got no results. Do you think I gave up too soon?"
Here's my answer.
