  • I have been working on ear training the last few years and have made some progress but still have  difficulty with recognizing some tones in relation to an established key ( e.g. minor  6th or minor 7th after playing a I-IV-V-I as a cue) , any tips on addressing that?

    Hi, are there any tips to hear for a succession of chords and their inversions in a major or minor key? E.g 

    chords IIb - V7a - Ia.
