Recognizing Chords
Recognizing Chords
Improve your ear by working on chord recognition. Choose as many or as few chord types as you would like to learn to recognize or distinguish. A chord can then be selected at random from your list and played. It is up to you to determine the quality of that chord. Nine of the most frequently occurring chord types in traditional Western music are included. You can decide whether to restrict the chords to have a fixed root (middle C) or not, and whether to have the chords played only in root position or allow inversions.
