As I sometimes read about ear training on this forum, may I suggest an app were you can train your relative pitch. It lets you hear a 145 (or some others if prefered) progressions and after that a tone. You have to listen if it's a 2nd, 5th5 b7th, etc...
Very addictive and fun too. (also available for iPhone)
Functional Ear Trainer (Adroid)
It's free! Also available, a payed version which adds differenent instruments (default is Grand piano) and melodic dictations. But the free one will do fine.

Sounds very cool. I will give it a try. Thanks.
One thing I definitely don't do enough is comparing my intonation against a time generator or keyboard. I really should do it more often.

Don't go over it too quickly... It can take a few years to get it down! :-)
Major and Minor, with all chromatics, 10-15 minutes/day.

As a professional musician, the best advice I can ever give to anyone is to write out a list of songs that you'll never forget, a list of songs that start with all the intervals of a Major scale. For example, Amazing Grace starts with a perfect 4th in the melody, the old Elvis son "I can't help falling in love with you" starts with a perfect 5th. It's a "tool" that I've both used and taught for decades, and it works really well.

Thanks Tank. I’m trying to be sure I understand what you’re saying here
Are you saying the interval between the 1st and 2nd note of amazing grace is a perfect 4th?
I’m looking it up and I see some script in F# shows the first note is C#, below the second note F#
In F# the interval from F# to C# is a 5th, but rising from C# to F# is a 4th, yes?
I see Can’t help falling in love in D (2 sharps) begins on D and 2nd note is A, and this is an interval of a 5th
Am I correct here or barking up the wrong tree?
