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

Episode 9 (chord Qualities)

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.

Episode 8 (II - V progressions)

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.

Episode 8 part 2 (II-V progressions)

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.

Episode 7 (more interval training)

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.

Episode 6 (modes of the major scale)

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.

Episode 5 (recognizing extensions in dominant chords)

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

Episode 4 (singing intervals)

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.

Episode 3 (singing melody notes over chords)

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

Episode 2 (melody notes)

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

Episode 1 (intervals)

The first section will be major triads over Cthe second section will be minor triads over A

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

Episode 11 (root position triads over bass notes)

In this exercise you need to guess the melody note played on the piano over a given bass line. I will provide the key of the bass line. Later on in the exercise I will give you two notes at the same time.

Episode 10 (melody notes over bass lines)

Love the podcast.  I can&#39;t seem to get the episode on extended chords to download though.

Can't download some...
