249: Q&A - I'm getting no results from my ear training - should I give up?

We had a great question from @Lutemann on YouTube this week:  "So I wanted to be able to play on sax what I hear in my head.  I wrote out 60 diatonic patterns (Example: 5, 4, 1, 7, 6, 8). Then I would pick a key and sing these patterns while fingering notes on the sax.  I did this for a couple of months and got no results.  Do you think I gave up too soon?"
