Description
STEP 16 of Ear Training Step by Step (also in the path and Chords by Ear bundles), after Step 15. Self-checking ear training for Grades 7-9: hear four notes at once, name the seventh chord, then find it on the staff. 30 cards, 20 scored. FIVE SEVENTH CHORDS, COUNTED IN HALF STEPS A seventh chord is a triad with one more 3rd on top. From the lowest note: dominant 7th 4 + 3 + 3 (G7), major 7th 4 + 3 + 4, minor 7th 3 + 4 + 3, half-diminished 3 + 3 + 4, diminished 7th 3 + 3 + 3. HOW IT WORKS - 4 learn cards: five kinds on G; triad + 7th; C major's seven (G7 starred); reading the staff. - Round 1: five kinds on G, then the notes one by one. - Round 2: new roots, note by note. - Round 3: chords only. - Round 4: one root as three kinds; tap the staff you heard. - Reveal cards; replay, slow, Compare speakers. Relative pitch only; 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 A5. 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.
