Ok, I finally got around to recording a video for this. Unfortunately, I can't find a way for people to do this for free; you'll have to cough up $15 - $20, one way or another

This is the next Charlie Banacos exercise. Essentially, a major or minor cadence is played, then the note 'C'; your task is to be able to work out the key from how 'C' relates to the cadence played. You should then name the key. It sounds like it should be easy after finishing the Charlie Banacos Exercise #1, but it isn't. I still use this regularly and find my ear can slip a little, especially if I'm tired.

In the real world, this exercise lets you hear key modulations more easily, and also lets you e.g. play a note on your instrument against a song and work out what key you are in. It's useful everywhere.

10 - 20 mins of this daily should see you right over a period of time. How long will vary for everybody. Months to a year might not be atypical.

Common pitfalls to avoid:

1. Do not rely on singing resolutions to figure out the key. You have to learn how the 'C' pitch sounds against the key, and that's it.
2. Do not rely on singing up to the note to work out the key. You have to learn how the 'C' pitch sounds against the key, and that's it.
