Spot the borrowed chord
What to do
Listen to a progression in major and identify the chord that comes from outside the key.
- Step 1Listen to the progression in C major: nearly all the chords are diatonic.
- Step 2One chord is borrowed (modal mixture: iv, ♭III, ♭VI or ♭VII) and sounds darker or unexpected.
- Step 3Pick the chord that does not belong to the key and confirm.
