I got the first one wrong because I just said A to G, without giving all the flats/sharps. Doh! But I got all the rest correct. So, 14/15. Thanks for all your excellent lessons, Rob!

Fun quiz! Missed one, and it's one I should've gotten straight away: I said the 4th and 6th degrees are dropped for the Major Pentatonic instead of the 4th and 7th. But that's what's great about a challenge like this -- typically, a mistake like that sears the correct answer into one's memory banks because our minds don't like being wrong. 🙂 Well done, Rob, and thanks!

Excellent Dell, and that's a good point, I've notice that to be true throughout my study of the polish language. My brain especially dislikes my wife correcting my grammar.

Woah! I got everything until we got into 7 chords. Then it fell apart. I've got some studying to do. Thanks Rob, as always.

Rob, why did you verbally describe the progression in question #15 as 1, Major 3, minor 6, 4? I understand that the M3 is outside the key of E Major, so it had to be specified, but the minor chord is the normal, diatonic chord on the 6th note of the scale of E major. So, shouldn't it have been described as simply 1, Major 3, 6, 4?

I loved this pop quiz. I got all but one right. However, I did have to stop and think and sometimes count on my fingers. What a great and fun way to measure progress. Thanks Rob I’m a real fan

Hey Jackie, thanks so much for the positive feedback and congrats on your progress. I'll keep the quizzes coming! -Rob

You are correct, I didn't have to specify that the six chord is minor, as that would be assumed.

My pleasure. It's always useful to see where our weaknesses are. Enjoy your progress Charles!

I missed the last question thinking the relative minor scale would be used. Thanks Rob for all you are doing!

I got a A- (missed 2). I confused omitting the 4/7 in a Major, for the 2/6 in a minor pent. scale. I enjoyed this Quiz. For the chords in the various progressions, I had to pause a few questions and work it out. Other than the I.IV,V I have to "do the math". Cheers.

Ha! I hear you, my friend. So cool you're learning Polish! With your experience and expertise in music, you've demonstrated the ability to truly master another language, so I'll bet you're doing great.

In the "notes of the musical alphabet", what was the reasoning to name some notes as flats and some as sharps, instead of all sharps (change Bb to A# for example) or all flats (C# to Db for example)?

Missed 3 (so 7/10 correct). After many years away from music it's good to see I haven't forgotten too much. Thanks for the quiz!

Hi Rob, I just downloaded the PDF for this lesson to continue reviewing it. The answer key does not show up on the PDF, it just shows a text box that says “click for answer” but the PDF is not interactive to be able to click. Your PDF for the chord interval quiz is perfect. BTW, I really LOVE these quizzes! It helps affirm what I know and points out what aspects I still need to work on. Please keep them coming 👏👏👏
