To help you practice evaluating the different pitches you hear, Lissa uses an exercise she calls “higher or lower.” She starts by playing an A note, and then plays another “mystery note,” for you to decide (or guess) whether it’s higher or lower and by a little or a lot. She also talks about strategies for improving your memory.
