This is one of the best ear training videos I've found. Stephanie, you clearly have some teaching gifts. The pacing, the clarity, and the explanations within each section are outstanding. Thanks so much!

Here it is, 2022, and yes, ear training is still an issue. I plan to come back and drill this every day, until I can identify those pesky 7ths perfectly. Thanks so much for putting this resource out for struggling Ear Training I students :)

I've never practiced ear training before, but came across this vid just before a walk and decided listen while out on it, and it was incredibly helpful! Was getting quality right about 70% of the time and even started getting some of the inversions right towards the end. Thanks so much, will be checking out your other vids.

I really love what you have put out into the world and listen while I walk. I'm a fan of Johnny Marr, Wes Montgomery and The Aristocrats.

[RahulDas-zyut]

thank you so much for this. ❤️❤️
being a self taught musician this helps a lot.
i dont know how but i got most of them right. 😅😅

[anna-gretekuusik]

Thanks a lot! In 3weeks I have to do exam and listening chords and intervals are the only thing I'm scared of not passing❤️

[francesdavies]

I'm studying barbershop arranging and this video is super helpful. Thank you!

[kyle_wagner_music]

Thanks for making this excellent training video - i've just been learning 7th arpeggios and realized i can't tell the differences very well. This video is helping immensely!

[shellista]

OMG, the 2nd half helped so much i perfected it for first try (exclude the inversions) im so amazed. Just feeling the tension of the notes is like an instinct hssdjkfhskjdfh amazing! thank you very much. Will practice more!

[WillHsuMusic]

This was super helpful! And yes, more half dim 7 and dim 7 practice would be amazing!

[fedefrottoman]

Thank you very much. This video was really helpful. The way you go through it made me clear the path 👌

[trinityblais]

It's so interesting that you think the major 7 is so distinctive. I confuse major and minor 7ths SO much, they sound so incredibly similar to me.

[lawrencetaylor]

I've listened to several of your videos and have noticed a change. Merci beaucoup.

[lullabiesbylo]

This was really helpful! I would love more practice identifying 7th chords.

[beerpm]

Studying these like crazy for my class! Thank you- I'd love more quizzes!

[hiranabe]

Thank you, Stephanie I just came across this lesson and I was quite good! almost 80% right, but sometimes half and fully diminished was difficult.

[rohankohli]

Fully agree with other comments: this is the best ear training video on YouTube that I can use on the go!
Question for others: I wonder if everyone finds singing all the individual notes on your own without hearing the arpeggiated notes is harder than identifying the chord quality itself? That's been my experience, so I'm not able to identify the inversions without hearing the individual notes played.

[MattWatsonHarmonica]

This is awesome! Thank you. My ear was better than I thought. At times I new immediately the chord. Will continue listening to this video.

[mitchdepalm]

Very helpful. I'd like to request a video of Maj7, Maj6, Maj7+, Maj7b5, Min7, mMaj7, mMaj7b5, Dim7, Half Dim7, Dom7, Dom7#5, Dom7b5, and Sus7 chords.

[rogeralleyne]

Thanks for the hard work that goes into these videos!
