Develop your musical ear through active singing with this comprehensive ear training lesson. Learn to play incomplete chords on piano while singing the missing notes - a powerful technique that builds deeper harmonic understanding than traditional chord identification exercises.

We start with basic major triads, removing one note at a time (root, third, or fifth) while your voice supplies the missing chord tone. This piano tutorial progresses from simple diatonic exercises to challenging chord progressions like the popular 1-5-6-4 sequence, forcing your ear to work harder and develop faster.

The lesson advances to seventh chord ear training using 2-5-1 progressions - essential for jazz and contemporary music. You'll practice singing missing sevenths, roots, thirds, and fifths while playing the remaining chord tones. This dual approach trains both your harmonic hearing and vocal pitch accuracy.

Perfect for intermediate piano students ready to move beyond basic chord recognition. This ear training method develops the internal hearing skills needed for improvisation, composition, and advanced musical expression.
