The dead giveaway here is the major 7th between the top two voices.

(Check: could you resolve it by improvising a ii Гё7-V-i progression in A minor on the piano? Take the bass voice up to E= sol, resolve to A= do, follow the usual rules of voice-leading.).

Therefore, this chord must be dm 6/5 (bass note=fa). If we think of dm as chord ii Гё7 in a minor key, the solfege would be вЂњre, fa, le, do.вЂќ The only way we can get a perfect 5th is by using fa-do.

Get the inversion: it canвЂ™t be root position because there wouldnвЂ™t be a perfect 5th.

Does this sound like V 7 or one of its inversions? (The correct answer is no.) Must be dm.

Tritone between two upper voices: eliminates mm and MM.

Perfect 5th between two lower voices: eliminates dd.

Below the examples is the kind of rationale you might use to sort through the evidence to identify your chord quality and inversion. Play the following chords on the piano, noticing the intervallic relations between every tone in the chord. Experiment: make your own flow chart with a different initial question. Study the flow chart and use it for the piano practice examples below. In this example, the first question asked is whether tritones are present in the texture.

When it comes to identifying compound seventh chords in inversions, we need a rational method for quickly sorting through information to find correct answers and identify wrong ones. Piano Keys: Identify the notes on the staff by clicking the proper key on an on-screen piano keyboard.Piano Practice - Figuring Out Inverted Compound Seventh Chords Methodical Procedures for Quick Answers.Includes modes (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian.) as well as other scales.

These exercises will improve your understanding of music concepts and your speed at interpreting from the staff. You must identify the major scale degree of each note in the melody.

Melodic Dictation: In this exercise, you will hear a short chord progression followed by a short melody.

You must identify the major scale degrees of the two notes relative to the key established by the chord progression as well as the interval between the two notes. In this exercise, you will hear a short chord progression followed by two notes.

Intervals in Context (functional): This exercise combines the 'Intervals' and 'Scale Degrees' exercises.

This is also known as 'functional ear training'. You must identify the scale degree of that note relative to the key established by the chord progression.

Scale Degrees (functional): In this exercise, you will hear a short chord progression followed by a single note.

Your goal is to identify the name of the note.

Perfect Pitch: In this exercise, you will hear a single note.

Your goal is to identify each chord that you heard.

Chord Progressions: In this exercise, you will hear a chord progression.

Your goal is to identify the name of the scale that you heard.

Scales: In this exercise, you will hear a scale.

Your goal is to identify the type of chord that you heard.

Chords: In this exercise, you will hear a chord.

Your goal is to identify the interval between the two notes.
