Beginner ear training
Start ear training by hearing contrast first
If music theory feels confusing, do not start by memorizing every interval name. The easier beginning is hearing simple differences clearly, then learning the names after your ear already feels the contrast.
What should a beginner practice first?
A strong first step is hearing the difference between a minor 3rd and a major 3rd. One often feels softer or darker, while the other feels brighter or more open.
