Aug 26, 2016 at 15:18 comment added user28 @DevShark I would say that the interval training took about a month before I started seeing real improvements, but I only practiced about 5 minutes a day. After that, I started the second technique and was seeing results from it within a week, again with only a few minutes of practice a day. The entire process to fully improve accuracy-wise took maybe 6 months.
Aug 26, 2016 at 12:14 comment added Some_Guy If you have access to a piano, trying to work out melodies to songs you know very well (nursery rhymes, pop songs, Christmas carols, I don't know your background but whatever is already already burnt into your memory). It will be hard and take a long time, but give immense satisfaction when you get it right, and train your ear a lot. This applies to any instrument but the advantage of piano is that you'll be able to "see" the way the melodies work in a transparent way, that it takes no training or physical strength to press individual piano keys and that the notes are intuitively laid out.
