Basic cadences

A cadence is a harmonic pattern that closes a phrase or points it forward. Even a simple chord sequence can feel like a question and an answer.

Diatonic intervals

A diatonic interval is counted between scale degrees within a key. Its number comes from the number of letter names included.

Melodic dictation

Melodic dictation trains you to move a heard sequence into your voice, hand or notation. Start with short phrases in a familiar key.

形式と実践中級

Phrases and periods

A musical phrase resembles a meaningful sentence: it has motion, a high point and a place to pause. Several phrases can form a period.

Seventh chords

A seventh chord adds another third above a triad. It therefore contains four different pitch classes rather than three.

Articulation and pedal

Legato, staccato and pedal change a phrase character. Secure clear rhythm without pedal before adding color.

ソルフェージュと聴音中級

Rhythmic dictation

Rhythmic dictation teaches durations and rests without relying on pitch. Start with one measure.

形式と実践中級

A sight-reading routine

When sight-reading, do not stop at every mistake. Look slightly ahead and keep the pulse.

リズムと拍子中級

Syncopation basics

Syncopation places an accent or note onset on a weak beat or between beats. The rhythm feels intentionally displaced.

和音中級

Chord inversions

An inversion keeps the same notes but changes the lowest note. This helps connect chords smoothly.

音程中級

Interval inversions

In an inversion, move the lower note up an octave or the upper note down. The interval numbers add up to nine.

Recognizing intervals by ear

First compare direction and distance instead of guessing the name instantly. Singing helps fix the sensation.

Natural, harmonic and melodic minor
