Unit 1: Chords

Learning Objectives

In this unit, our chord identification work will focus on major, minor, and diminished triads in root position, 1st inversion, and 2nd 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, 1st inversion, or 2nd inversion). Each chord will be played two times.
