Melody over a progression
What to do
Melodic dictation and chord trainer in context.
- Step 1Listen to the chord progression underneath and identify which chord is in each bar.
- Step 2For each melody note, decide whether it is a chord tone of the current chord or a passing decoration.
- Step 3Check that the strong-beat notes land on chord tones and the decorations resolve to a nearby chord tone.
- Step 4Transcribe the melody and repeat the phrase until it sounds coherent with its harmony.
