"A Cognitive Basis for Choosing a Solmization System," Music Theory Online, Vol. Why not apply this concept to chords or even chord progressions? Chords and progressions on their own can sound particularly uninspiring, but the second you associate them with something you know (and likely love), the recognition process becomes a million times easier.In this episode, Greg Ristow and David Newman talk about the value and role of intervallic ear training, why it's time to move beyond Here comes the bride, and ways of teaching intervallic hearing that build fundamental skills for sight singing and dictation.

For me, hearing an augmented chord on G reminds me of a specific track from the soundtrack of the movie "Cracks," and hearing Dm to Bb makes me think of Hans Zimmer's "Batman."
