OPINION! What is your favorite training instrument for hearing chords, intervals etc.?
profile
Beckstein for me to, but in my opinion this could be much better. For me sometimes its hard to hear the lowest notes f.e. in chordelius, for me they some sound much too percussive...

Generally, tonygym's samples could be much better...

It would be nice to have some options for brass, woodwinds, etc.

So I'm new to Tonegym. I've got plenty of musical experience, and I thought I did pretty well in the initial screening, but I've started entirely on level one mini games. Is there a way adjust the difficulty manually, or do I just have to just grind up to the point where tonegym is offering me a challenge? I promise you I can read whole notes and tap a rhythm on beats one and four.

In your Account Settings you can turn the play speed up to fast to move things along.

The initial test is just informative (and kind of a 'hook'), as everyone starts at the same point: Level 1 at every game. If you paid for Pro membership, you can play games as many times as you like, so I'd recommend spending an extra time passing levels until you begin to struggle. If you're on the free version, your own answer is accurate enough...

Welcome and good luck!

I disabled notationist for the reasons you mentioned. Maybe it gets into reading intervals and more complicated things later, but it's hard to tell. The weekly site reading challenge often has timed interval/chord reading which is more interesting.

Does anyone have any reference songs for harmonic intervals or any tips on how to learn them? They are really giving me trouble atm

Use the P1, P5 and P8 as reference points. For example, the difference between the m7 and M7 becomes clear when you try to hear them resolve to the P8. As always, practice makes perfect.

I'm pretty sure a very similar conversation has been had before, so perhaps do a search here. More than once this topic has come up. Good luck!
Only took me two months of daily weekday training sessions, but I finally passed level 90 on Chordelius...lol

Edit: What I mean is that I was stuck on level 90 for two months, not that I passed all those levels in two months.

In my experience I'm either crushing it or I suck but rarely in between. My guess is that it depends on which side of the brain is more active or some mindset thing or something similar.
profile
@Tom K I hear ya, some days all the chords just sound the same to me.

I've been bogged down in the 50s for a while, rarely raising a level. Maj6, min6, min7 are tough for me.
