Thanks a lot!

not progression but chords and their different voicings

The chord progressions ear training module is fine, although it might not be customised by the user (unless i missed something). [Edit : my bad, it is enterely customisable, this is awesome !]
I don't know if there is any video on youtube showing how it looks like.

After the original post, I talked with a friend and we began to study "togheter". Everyday I send him a song and he does the same. Our aim is to work with tonal music (maybe later we will do the same with modal music). We are beginning with major tonality and the idea is to incorporate different progressions within time, so, the first songs were moslty I, V, and IV chords, and progressively are adding also vi, iii, ii, etc. The idea is to get used to the progressions in different instrumentation and genres. Latter on we will introduce chords has notes not included in the tonality.

Something really nice is that we have to search for songs with the progressions we would like to send and this way we are also studying and training our ear when searching for them. Another thing which is also nice is that I'm doing a playlist with these songs and then I can hear them paying attention to the progressions and get each time more used to how they sound. The first days are supposed to be easy indeed, but I think that it is part of the process and to get each time quicker to recognize and gradually introduce other chrods etc.

I highly encourage this kind of study and if someone would like to join us, feel free to drop me a message! =) we can create a whatsapp or telegram group...

Keep safe and all the best!

This tool is very entertaining, thank you very much for this !
They also set up a structured youtube playlist from free music learning lessons, on music theory. The course is quite complete : listening, harmony, counterpoint... Seems like a standard music school program. I started the Yale "listening music" courses and find it very entertaining. I highly recommand it to my fellow beginners, or for pure entertainment.
I think this part of the app is free :

The vantage point one needs is from a standpoint of experience with chords in extant music. Transcribe songs off recordings, get some sheet music or a Fake Book maybe, but play music that is chord/melody and make observations, take note of things, look for patterns and cliches, a common currency...

Absent this experience, talking “theory” is pretty dry, and yer not going to get it via reading descriptions of the thing.

IME, ear training was never abstract, it’s sight-singing, and interval recognition in the fullness of some music; the interval as you receive it from a song: Some-WHERE (over the rainbow), an octave; Ma-RI-a, #4...

I think actually playing progressions might be the best way to reinforce your ear

I can recommend you https://chordchord.com/ (https://chordchord.com/). This tool help you with building chord progressions. It will help you get some more skills and improve musical compositions as well as suggest you some sweet chord sequences to make music. Basically that's how I learned progressions myself. I'm more hands-on learner so this website worked pretty well for me.

Just sit down at a keyboard and start playing through the common progression, in all keys, etc. Old school. No shortcuts.
