In addition to using this site, I've been working with a personal instructor for the past couple of months. Part of what he as me working on is ear training. We've been working on two intervals each week.

For the life of me I can't "get it" (yet). I am using some song associations to help but still struggle. He is telling me this is totally normally.

I am just wondering if it really is that difficult for most people. Maybe it is, or maybe he is just trying to keep my spirits up. Anyhow, wondering what you more experienced musicians think. You can be honest -I am not going to quit - just really curious about how hard this is (or isn't).

Thx.
