The exercises in this video were created based on the requirements from the RCM Piano Syllabus (2022 Edition and 2015 Edition). The RCM Violin Syllabus (2021 Edition) has similar ear training requirements.

This video is for informational/educational purposes only; it is not endorsed or affiliated with the RCM. These examples were created as ear training exercises for students in my studio, shared here to make these resources more accessible. I notate all of the examples in my videos and also write/compose the excerpts.

Chord options: Major vs. Minor Triad
• e.g. major chord = C E G
• e.g. minor chord = C Eb G

Note options: Root, Third, Fifth
-If the chord is C E G with C being the lowest, then E, then G stacked on top:
• Root = C (bottom note)
• Third = E (middle note)
• Fifth = G (top note)

Visually, it would be:
• Fifth = G (top note)
• Third = E (middle note)
• Root = C (bottom note)

Interval options: -3, +3, p4, p5
• e.g. minor third = C Eb / O Canada, Greensleeves
• e.g. major third = C E / "Do" to "Deer" from "Do, a deer" of Do-Re-Mi (The Sound of Music), sometimes sound of doorbell(?)
• e.g. perfect fourth = C F / Addams Family theme, Someday My Prince Will Come, Amazing Grace
• e.g. perfect fifth = C G / Star Wars, The Flintstones theme
