Description:
A 7th by itself is an interval, or a set distance between two pitches. We have major sevenths, and minor 7ths. A 7th chord is a triad plus an interval of a 7th.
In this lesson series, we’ll learn to sing and identify major 7th chords in part one, minor 7th and dominant 7th chords in part two, and half-diminished chords in part three.
In this lesson series, we’ll learn to sing and identify major 7th chords in part one, minor 7th and dominant 7th chords in part two, and half-diminished chords in part three.
