Interval barks seems to have a bug. When I am asked to sing a major 2nd lower than the given note, it tells me that I am wrong because I sang a major 9th lower. It seems that it’s an octave off every time. I’m a baritone and am sure that I am in the correct octave.

Hi Guys! For Chordelius, do you guys hear individual notes every time when you are hearing a chord not matter if the instrument changed or not? Or do you prefer to hear the chord by the tonality of if? I tried very hard on this game, and by Level 20, it is harder and harder to me frustrating more and more. Thanks!

I am 54, I mostly listen to the quality of the chord, this worked for Maj, min, dim, aug, sus 2/4, maj/min add 9 and the seven chords. For sixes, I have needed to start listening to the intervals, and in that transition I lost a lot of steam. In the end I took a six month break back at level 49 and just started playing it again. I mostly progressed because of a bit of luck, and practicing chords on Olympics.

hey try to practice daily all kinds of interval exercises plus this one. one thing that helped me a lot was stopping to watch the answers so the reflexion process is much harder since you have to choose between all the chords you've seen and not only a few. other ppl on this thread are right tho. Go on and enjoy the process

what i do (if i can't immediately identify): listen for the main quality of the chord (major, minor, or sus & perfect or altered fifth) then try to listen to the extensions. you should use the pause/review tool (bottom right) after every answer and sound out the arpeggios yourself. I also play the arpeggios on my bass after each answer.

the goal is to be able to quickly identify a chord, so you don't need to ''hear'' each individual note. if you can identify the chord you already know every note in the chord. the same way as a proficient reader doesn't sound out every syllable in their head.

again, it helps to take time after you answer to sing and play the notes. even on ones you get right. I've found using my instrument to reinforce my answers to be very helpful
