Unit 6: Chords

Learning Objectives

In this unit, our chord identification work will focus on distinguishing between major, minor, and diminished triads, as well as identifying whether the triads are in root position or 1st inversion.

 

Instructions

Each chord set contains ten chord identification exercises. For each one, identify the quality of the triads that are played, then indicate which inversion the chord is in (root position or 1st inversion). Each chord will be played two times.
