I will play a 4 note voicing consisting of the root, 3rd, 5th, and 7th and you have to guess the quality of the chord. You're choices are major 7, major 7b5, major 7#5, minor/major 7, minor 7, half diminished 7, full diminished 7, dominant 7, dominant 7b5, dominant 7#5. I will play the chord twice, tell you the answer, then arpeggiate the chord

This exercise will help you to hear II - V progressions. I will play two II - V progressions consecutively and you need to distinguish the interval between them. For example if I give you Dmi7 - G7 - Ebmi7 - Ab7 then the answer would be a half step up because the second II - V progression is a half step up from the first. These different types of progressions are common in jazz music and if you are able to distinguish between them you will have a better understanding of the music and will hopefully allow you to eventually learn jazz tunes by ear.

This is the same exercise as the first part of episode 8 except you will now have to name the last two chords of the progression after hearing the first two.

This exercise will help you to recognize intervals quickly. I will play a note and you need to guess what it is based on the previous note.

I will play a scale based on a mode of the major scale and you have to guess which one it is. You can choose from ionian, dorian, phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, aeolian, locrian.

This exercise will help you to hear all the extensions of a dominant chord. I will play the chord twice; the first time as a block chord, the second time each note separately.

In this exercise I will tell you what interval to sing from a given note.

I will play a chord and tell you what that chord is. I will then give you a note that you need to sing over that chord. I will play the chord twice. The first time without the melody note; the second time with the melody note after.

name the interval between the melody note and the root of the chord

Name the interval. You will hear the two notes played simultaneously twice followed by the answer. The answer will be within two octaves. -Skip examples by double clicking on the middle button on your ipod -Listen back to examples by triple clicking the middle button on your ipod

The first section will be major triads over C the second section will be minor triads over A
