Chord Explorer: Hear Related Chords

Explore chord relationships by ear. Hear chord tones, navigate dominant, subdominant, relative-minor and other related moves, and turn on theory context.

Start on the current chord, hear its tones, then choose a related harmonic move. The center card updates with the new chord so you can follow a progression by ear and by function.

What this tool includes

Hear the current chord

Tap the center chord to hear its tones before choosing the next harmonic move.

Follow relationships

Choose dominant, subdominant, relative-minor, supertonic, mediant, or parallel-minor moves to navigate to a related chord.

Keep the route visible

Use Undo Move to return to the previous chord and compare the two connections.

Open theory context

Teacher Mode explains the current harmonic relationship while you explore.

How to use this tool

  1. Tap the center chord to hear it.
  2. Choose one related chord card.
  3. Hear the new center chord and compare its function with the previous move.
  4. Use Undo Move or Teacher Mode when you want to review the connection.

Practice tips

  • Start by hearing how a dominant chord creates tension before returning to its home chord.
  • Compare a major chord with its relative and parallel minors one move at a time.
  • Use the chord progression generator when you want a full key-and-mood progression instead of relationship exploration.
