Description
STEP 15 of Ear Training Step by Step (also in the path bundle), after Step 14. Self-checking ear training for Grades 6-8: name all four kinds of triad by ear, then hear which note is lowest. 30 cards, 20 scored. FOUR KINDS, COUNTED IN HALF STEPS From the lowest note: major 4 + 3, minor 3 + 4, diminished 3 + 3, augmented 4 + 4. Diminished and augmented change only the top note. HOW IT WORKS - 4 learn cards: the four kinds; half steps on a keyboard; C major's seven chords; inversions. - Round 1: four kinds on C, then the notes one by one. - Round 2: new roots, note by note. - Round 3: chords only. - Round 4: one chord in root position, 1st and 2nd inversion; tap the staff you heard. - Reveal cards; replay, slow and Compare speakers. Relative pitch only; this deck does not teach perfect pitch. SELF-CHECKING, WITH HELP WHEN STUCK - Boom scores every answer. - Two tap-to-show hints per question. - Equally loud chords, C4 to G5. ACCURACY Every answer is checked by our own software and by AI test solves from the cards and sounds alone, without the key. It has not been tested with a class. No process is perfect; if you spot an error, please tell us through the store's feedback. HOW IT WAS MADE Text written with AI assistance and fact-checked. All images and music notation are drawn in code; no AI image generators were used. All sounds are made in code. No AI voice. Needs sound. Plays in a browser; needs internet.
