This workshop dives into the essential skills required for ear training. Our main focus will be 7th chords.
First, we’ll use song examples to identify the sounds of major 7th chords, dominant 7th chords, and minor 7th chords. We’ll learn how to hear these chords in various chord progressions. Finally, we’ll apply these techniques to songs and learn how to hear the chords that fit with each melody.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll understand the process of how to approach ear training.
For software ear trainers, we recommend the following: Keyboard Relative Pitch, Note Relative Pitch, Intervals, Scales, Chords

New challenge
I found this challenging, but think I'm getting there. Especially useful for me because I'd like to be less dependent on sheet music. I like how Yannick keeps thinking of examples and playing bits of them. I also like the mentions of theory.
Ear Opening!
These are must do courses to free yourself from the sheet music. Very challenging, but Yannick does make it fun. I have a long way to go!
Excellent course 👍
It was enjoyable and pleasant course. I love the teaching style and chords techniques. Thank you very much Professor Yannick Lambrecht for explaining the materials.
Yannick makes ear training fun
I think this may be the first time in all my years of classical and jazz training that i enjoyed ear training! And it’s added some tunes to my repertoire to practice to boot! Thank you!
Lots of fun
I loved the teaching style as well as the chosen songs!
