LOCAL LISTENING · CHAPTER 1.9

Hear one member move

Two chords share a root and two sounding notes. Hear both, then choose how the other member changed from First to Second.

Comparison 1

1 / 6

Let each example finish. Replay as often as you like; Check waits until both are marked heard.

Not heard yet

Ready when you are.

Hear First and Second completely to unlock Check.

Choose with your ear before looking at the notes.

How this round works

Six same-root comparisons each change one member. Answers are relative: middle or upper member, up or down, half or whole step. The final card carries the idea to a different root. This does not test absolute pitch, emotional character, or a need for sus chords to resolve.

Your first Check remains recorded through retries and Clear choice. Revealing an answer before solving marks that card as assisted. Even after Reveal, hear both examples fully before moving on. Start a new round resets the record; nothing is saved after leaving the page.

These local piano comparisons await Doug’s listening review. Sound uses the Common Tone’s approved quiet sampled piano and ordinary chord hold and release.
