Re: [Harp-L] History of Harp Tuning and Hearing Chords

The best resource I've found is David L. Burge's Relative Pitch course...


It took me one year to complete it, but it proved invaluable to my ear training in all chordal recognition as well as hearing inversions, intervals, and recognizing progressions.


One must commit to following the instructions as laid out for each lesson.

I am still on the lookout for a good way to exercise and expand this skill.

If I play the chords on the piano, I know what the chord is when I play it, so I 
miss out on âtrying to figure out (or guess) what it isâ followed by the 
feedback of finding out whether I was right or wrong.

If I hear an interesting progression in a song, itâs usually gone before I can 
get my hooks into identifying what/when for later study.

With ear training software, I feel flummoxed by a lack of context, though maybe 
that approach deserves another try.

I would be interested to know  *how*  others have worked on acquiring and/or 
strengthening this particular ability.
