ChordProg Ear Trainer has exercises for chord, interval and scale practice, from identifying individual sounds to following a whole progression. Listen to a clip and name the chords in order.

More than 500 recorded clips give you practice across different keys and voicings. Focus on the sounds you want to recognize.

Your results and daily streak help you keep track of your practice. When you want to understand what you heard, look it up in the chord, interval and scale dictionaries. You can also tap notes on the piano to find matching chords and scales. Try introductory levels without a subscription.
