Chord types to practice

Selected: 2 / 7

How to Play

Each round plays a chord — three or four notes sounded together. Your task: identify what type of chord it is. Easy mode covers only major and minor chords (the bright vs sad distinction). Standard adds diminished (tense, unstable) and augmented (mysterious, suspended). Hard adds three common 7th chords. 12 rounds per session. Chord quality is the single most useful ear-training skill: once you can tell major from minor by ear, you can hear the emotional shape of a song without seeing the score.

Tips & Strategy

Major sounds 'bright, happy, resolved'. Minor sounds 'sad, melancholy, dark'. Diminished sounds 'tense, urgent, unfinished'. Augmented sounds 'floating, mysterious, suspended'. Dominant 7 (dom7) sounds 'wanting to resolve'. If you struggle, sing the lowest note then the highest — the gap between bottom and top tells you a lot. Two minutes a day for two weeks is usually enough to make major/minor automatic for most people.
