Four progressions by ear

This is a different task from the three distances. There, two notes. Here, four chords as one sequence. Do not name every grip. Listen for whether the opening is major, whether and where a minor chord arrives, and whether the end returns to the first chord.

Four answers at level 2

progression	what you listen for
I V vi IV	minor as the third chord
I IV V I	minor may not appear at all; the end returns to I
vi IV I V	a start from minor
I vi IV V	minor already in second place

Read the table once, then cover it. Open Ear: progressions, level 2. Eight questions, C only, no clock. Cover the answers. Hear all four bars to the end. Only then choose.

A second hearing makes sense when you do not know whether a minor chord appeared, and on which place. If no minor appeared at all, check I IV V I. That is not an ear fault.

After a miss, Compare with the answer you picked plays the chosen progression first, then the right one. Name only the differing place: minor second, not third, or the end returned to I. In C, I-V-vi-IV sounds as C G Am F. The letters are for a check after the answer, not during playback.

Do not describe the sequence as happy or sad. Tempo and arrangement change the character. Here the order of four places decides.

The score from eight questions says what came out in this series today. It is not an ear diagnosis.

A song without forcing the pattern

Open W żłobie leży. The card has more than four chords. Do not force the whole song into one of the four answers. Hear a short phrase without the chord sheet, then check the chords. No match is also a result.
