Interval Training - Minor 7ths
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Minor 7ths are important because they help define the sound and function of some of the most common chords in music. The interval appears in both minor 7 chords and dominant 7 chords, making it a key sound in styles like jazz, blues, R&B, funk, and pop. In dominant 7 chords, the minor 7th creates tension that pushes the harmony toward resolution, (usually) back to the tonic. In minor 7 chords, it adds a smooth, relaxed color that’s often used to set up harmonic movement, especially in progressions like ii–V–I. Learning to recognize the sound of a minor 7th helps you quickly identify chord quality and better understand how chords create tension and release in real music.
