Music Aptitude Texture (Harmony), Pt 2 | Hear 2, 3 or 4 Notes in a Chord | 11+ MAT Ear Training Tips

Описание: Are you preparing for the 2026 MAT exam?

Can you tell how many notes are in a chord—2, 3, or 4? This is one of the trickiest challenges in the UK Music Aptitude Test (MAT), and even experienced musicians get it wrong!

🎧 In this 2026 MAT test texture tutorial, Bea breaks down how to feel and identify chord density—going beyond counting notes to really understand sound texture.
You'll learn:
✅ The difference between 2, 3 and 4-note chords
✅ How register (high, middle, low) changes the feel of a chord
✅ The sneaky "seventh interval trap"
✅ Tips for using your inner voice and physical sensations
✅ Practice strategies to sharpen your ear before test day

Please note that some schools call this section: "Harmony" or "Chords"

Whether you're preparing for the MAT or just want to improve your ear training skills, this video will give you a whole new way of hearing sounds and chords.
