Hello,

What do you mean by hearing the notes in a major scale? - taking a melodic dictation in a major scale?

Yes. This is probably a bad example, as most of us can at least tell which degree of a major scale is which - it seldom gets that bad. But there are these "bad days" when I have trouble ...

I'm sure some of you share my problem of having -- for some reason -- days when the most basic exercises (hear the notes in a major scale) are very hard, or they throw you - it's frustrating.

Do any of you have these bad days?

If so, do you know anything that helps? So far I've just said screw it ...
