Ear Challenge Instructions

1. Interval Identification

Testing ability: Identifying the quality of pitch distance between two notes (interval). This is the foundation of music hearing, determining your ability to perceive melodic lines and harmonic relationships.

Question format: After playing an interval, select its correct quality from four options (such as major third, perfect fifth, minor seventh, etc.). Questions will cover both consonant and dissonant intervals.

2. Chord Identification

Testing ability: Identifying chord colors and qualities. This reflects your sensitivity to harmonic colors and is key to understanding musical emotions and progressions.

Question format: After playing a triad, select its correct quality from four options (such as major triad, minor triad, augmented triad, diminished triad).

3. Pitch Restoration

Testing ability: Accurately capturing and memorizing specific pitches. This directly relates to your absolute pitch or strong relative pitch sense, representing advanced auditory skills.

Question format:

Question 5 (Interval): After playing an interval, select the two specific pitches that constitute the interval from multiple note options (multiple choice).

Question 6 (Chord): After playing a chord, select all the specific pitches that constitute the chord from multiple note options (multiple choice).

4. Rhythm Restoration

Testing ability: Memorizing and reproducing rhythmic patterns. This challenges your perception of time and pulse, forming the foundation of musical expression and collaboration.

Question format:

Question 7: After playing a one-measure rhythmic pattern, restore the correct rhythm pattern.

Question 8: After playing a continuous two-measure rhythmic phrase, restore the correct rhythm pattern. Increased difficulty tests short-term memory and phrase sense.

5. Mode Identification

Testing ability: Perceiving overall tonal colors of melodies. This goes beyond individual notes, challenging your ability to capture the unique "personality" of different scales from melodic tendencies.

Question format: After playing a short melody in C key, listen for key characteristic tones and determine which scale it belongs to:

C Major: Bright, stable
C Natural Minor: Melancholy, deep
C Dorian Mode: Melancholy with hope
C Mixolydian Mode: Cheerful with blues flavor
