Description
STEP 14 of Ear Training Step by Step (also in the path bundle), after Step 13. Self-checking ear training for Grades 5-7: hear a three-note chord, then tap major or minor. 29 cards, 20 scored. LISTEN INSIDE THE CHORD Major and minor share the bottom and top notes; only the middle note moves, one half step. On a keyboard, major is 4 half steps, then 3; minor is 3, then 4. Many listeners hear major as brighter and minor as darker. HOW IT WORKS - 3 learn cards: listen inside; count half steps; six roots with sharps and flats. - Round 1: C major or C minor, then the notes one by one. - Round 2: new roots, note by note. - Round 3: chords only. - Round 4: two staffs; tap the one you heard. - Reveal card after each round; 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; retry wrong ones at once. - Two tap-to-show hints per question. - Equally loud chords, root position, C4 to E5. 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.
