Congrats!
Every chord is in fundamental position and closed position. This is very rare to hear this sort of situation in music (popular-jazz-classical). It ends up being an exercice only related to identify the root. It would be more a challenge to have those chords in real progressions with various inversions.
Progressions is so tricky for me at the moment!

What do you mean?

You can do the thing!
Is the life ring supposed to be grayed out in Melody Hunter at lower levels? It shows x5 but I can't tap it.
profile
Yea, after my first input the life ring gets greyed out. Cant double check the melody after first input.

I find chord inversions difficult as well. I think I am on level 6 at the moment

You should honestly just ignore the chord inversion game at first, its significantly more difficult than the others. You definitely will improve if you practice consistently... but maybe not at Inversionist lol. (I'm no good at it either)
profile
My advice differs from others regarding Inversionist. I.e., don't ignore it, just use an instrument to help you. Listen for the lowest note then match it on an instrument. Since the game tells you what the chord is, you then know which element of the chord is in the bass and can deduce the inversion.
Is there a way to make Interval Banks only play piano sounds instead of screeching ”Eeeeh”? I wasn’t able to figure out a pattern of when it uses piano samples versus human voice imitation.

You should be able to select an instrument before entering the game. Try scrolling down if you are unable to see the selection buttons on your screen. If you do not select an option manually, ToneGym will select one for you based on one of two randomization options in your account settings.

perfect, thank you. i wasn't sure why it was picking the instrument at random
profile
Not only can you select the instrument before each game, in your account settings you can make it so that it always does the same instrument by default.
omg, i have an entrance exam coming up and i haven't practiced in a while. it currently feels so damn hard to practice, how can i make it easier?
profile
Do it inconsistently! I know it sounds weird, but picking up the instrument at random without thinking too much makes it easier, because you aren't forcing yourself. You suddenly want to practice but you are in the bathroom? Get out and do it. You are running errands and suddenly feel the itch? Get home fast and practice. It's almost 9 pm and you haven't played? Better do it before it can annoy your neighbors, even if it's just for 15 minutes and only scales. Also, practice close to a window instead of timing yourself, because I've noticed that playing for 4 hours (from early afternoon till sunset) feels way less taxing than thinking i have to play for 1 hour minimum.

Hope it works!
@Matthew Robbins won the Championship. Congrats for winning!

Good work!
What's the deal with the slow page loads? I have been getting frequently load times of five to ten seconds or more. At the end of exercises, but even on the homepage. Is this being worked on?
profile
I've been getting this as well, just been hoping I don't lose my progress each time.
