Skill 2a identify quality of thirds melodically ascending, 45 seconds, stop after 10 Skill 2b identify quality of thirds melodically descending, 45 seconds, stop after 10ID harmonic thirds by ear
Skill 3: identify as M3 or m3, 40 seconds, stop after 10
Scoring for each skill (10 pts possible): 100 = 10; 90-99 = 9; 80-89 = 7; 70-79 = 4; <70 = 0
Points awarded drop rapidly not to be harsh, but because a 50% correct result is no better than chance.
