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.
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!
Fully agree with other comments: this is the best ear training video on TH-cam 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.
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!
So awesome, well layed out, I expected to lose focus really quickly and I watched the entire thing o.o Helps that I did way better than I expected to, lol
Great stuff! Thanks a bunch. (Audio quality is so-so, but that’s obviously a secondary consideration.) I took the usual Freshman and Sophomore Theory and Ear Straining 🤪 waaay back in the mid-‘80s. After decades of work-work-work, I’ve recently checked back on my ear-training level, and it was utterly humiliating! Nevertheless, on these particular exercises, I did much much better than I expected!
Hello! Augmented 7th chords aren't really around in standard harmony. I do have a video on augmented vs. diminished chords in my ear training playlist, which you can find on my page. I'm glad you found it helpful!
Oh my god that’s me and I’m stressing about it haha, I went online to take a practice exam and every single Minor I got incorrect for putting Major, and vise versa. I can differentiate the difference in the notes but I can’t pinpoint a M and m :(
The 1st inversion of M7 corresponds to a minor6 in root position and 1st inversion of m7 corresponds to a major6 in root position. Adding the 7 ‘flips’ the expected quality of major/minor

It's a process for sure!
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❤️

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

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.
I always have Trouble distinguishing maj6 with min7 and min6 and min7b5 of the root is not very clear.
Wtf you just inventing chords
This was really helpful! I would love more practice identifying 7th chords.
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. 😅😅
I'm studying barbershop arranging and this video is super helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I've listened to several of your videos and have noticed a change. Merci beaucoup.
Studying these like crazy for my class! Thank you- I'd love more quizzes!
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.
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.
Excellent Teaching

Thank you very much. This video was really helpful. The way you go through it made me clear the path 👌
Half diminished 7 is the choo-choo sound!
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.
Thanks for this ! So I can learn the Anglo-Saxon definitions of the sevenths. :-)
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.
So awesome, well layed out, I expected to lose focus really quickly and I watched the entire thing o.o Helps that I did way better than I expected to, lol
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Amazing exercise. It’s helping me so much. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the hard work that goes into these videos!
Great video! Thanks so much for the practice. This is the best one I’ve seen for ear training class prep on 7th chords.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. This is great practice. The pace is perfect.
Wonderful! Exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks!
Thank you for this and all your videos! Incredibly helpful resource :))
AWESOME!
Thank you for this useful video!
Amazing job!
Thank you so much for posting this!!
Thank you for your efforts. I only have a little difficulty with 7 as apposed to 7th.
Very helpful! Thanks a lot!
thanks, this is helpful. please do many more.
Helpful thanks!

so useful!, thank you! woud be dope if it had the augmented too
Thanks, that was good. inversion m7 is tricky for me
Thank you! Very good video! Could have included the augmented chord too :)

Stephanie Douglass yeah!
Am I weird for thinking M7 sounds sadder than m7?
Oh my god that’s me and I’m stressing about it haha, I went online to take a practice exam and every single Minor I got incorrect for putting Major, and vise versa. I can differentiate the difference in the notes but I can’t pinpoint a M and m :(
I can hear it too.
The 1st inversion of M7 corresponds to a minor6 in root position and 1st inversion of m7 corresponds to a major6 in root position. Adding the 7 ‘flips’ the expected quality of major/minor
Life saver!
this was great! the microphone quality is a little weird but super helpful! please do more!
Thank you thats a great recording
thank you so much! this will be so helpful
Thank you for this!!!
Awesome video.
I have problems with minor seventh chords and half-diminished seventh chords. Fully diminished chords are easy--they're the "Snidley Whiplash" chords.
thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo MUCH STEF!!!!!!!
Oof.. still have to work on distinguishing dim7 and half dim7 in inversions..
More 7th chords ear training please!
I guess Min Maj7 chords speak for themselves 😁 (nice video!)
Very helpful
Thanks 🙏
Hi do you have any more ear training videos ?
the higher the root note, the harder it gets for me to recognise the chord, is this common?
I thought Dim and 7b5 are the same. How do I manage this?
Thank you for this video!(:
Great...
Good Stephanie 👍👍
Yes, thank you! A focus on dim 7 vs half dim 7 would be great
Thank you. very very useful really. Anything similar ?
Excellent, basically..
What's the meaning of 'stay out of treble' in the description?🤔
'Stay musical,stay mindful and stay out of treble'...
Treble clef - music theory joke :)
Oh god, I'm suffering with the inversions
hm there are no augmented?
Nope! If you stack a major 3rd on an augmented triad, it will be the same as the root of the chord.
The only ones i have trouble with are m7 and M7. I always think an m7 is a M7
That's a tricky one! For me it's the crunch between the root and the 7th in the M7 chord. They tend to feel "floaty" to me.

😀
And all the commercials, turn off!!!!
Had to buy youtube premium.
Stop talking so much till you clear your sinuses
What the hecc?😂
Very helpful thank you !
