How To Play

Major and Minor triads are the most common chords in Western music. They share a specific formula of intervals, giving all Major chords a distinctive "tonality", and all Minor chords their own unique sound.

Many people associate these tonalities with emotions — Minor chords are often perceived as 'sad' or 'serious', while Major chords sound 'grander' or 'happier'. Listen carefully and use your own emotional associations to identify them.

Use the answer buttons or arrow keys: ⬅️ Minor, ➡️ Major. You can use the Reference Chords at any time to re-orient your ear.
