			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I&#8217;m not playing with computers I spend a lot of time trying to play guitar, and one aspect of my musical education I have struggled with is training my ear. My guitar teacher suggested practicing with <a href="http://www.good-ear.com/servlet/EarTrainer">Ear Trainer</a>, a free site that is very complete but has a terrible user interface.</p>
<p>In what was a very productive session of procrastinating on doing my guitar homework I ended up making my own ear training site. So, if you&#8217;re in need of some ear training, please take a look at <a href="http://www.minorseventh.com/">Minor Seventh</a>.</p>
<p>I built the site on <a href="http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/">SoundManager 2</a> (which regrettably requires Adobe Flash, because JavaScript has no native way  to play sound), <a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a> and <a href="http://jqueryui.com/">jQuery UI</a>. I&#8217;ll work on an HTML 5 version once someone sends me a free iPad.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d love some feedback on the site if you end up using it. Upcoming features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Listening mode, where pressing the interval buttons plays the interval</li>
<li>Chord sound training</li>
<li>The option to change the root note to a random note</li>
<li>The option to play only the arpeggio, not the chord</li>
<li>New samples</li>
<li>Progression training (identify a set of chords by location in the key)</li>
</ul>
<p>Big thanks to <a href="http://blog.ksplice.com/author/jesstess/">Jessica McKellar</a>, Mike Fisher, Greg Price, Todd MacGarvey, Giles Hall, and the others who helped work out all the bugs. Would you like a new feature or a change? Post a comment here or send some feedback from the &#8216;Submit Feedback&#8217; link on <a href="http://minorseventh.com">Minor Seventh</a>!</p>
