Product Overview
Have you ever heard a song or arrangement and wished you could recognize the chords or progressions? Well, Doug Zangar has done it again with his second installment of ear training, this time focused on Triads.
Doug begins with the basics of creating chords or "Triads" as well as arpeggios. He then starts with Triads in Root Position, teaching you how to listen and recognize them. Major, Minor, Diminished and Augmented Triads are all explored and Doug gives you a test on them to see if your ears are locking in on the different types.
Next up are the different Triads in First Inversion, as well as a test to see how well you can identify them. Doug then goes a step further and introduces Second Inversion triads in all the different flavors and gives you a test on those as well.

Really good.
I am currently working my way through these ear training videos at Groove 3. I went through similar ear training from a music teacher a long time ago, it is very useful for all musical endeavours to develop your ear, essential really, and these videos are a great place to do just that. The presenters style is easy to listen to and follow and the exercises have been thought out well, both from a viewing and listening experience. Usual Groove 3 standard here, really good.
