Chords

The Chords topic area has 9 topics, covering individual chord recognition, cadences, harmony, and jazz chords. Using this topic area, your harmonic recognition skills will accelerate extremely quickly!

Cadences

The Cadences topic plays students a scale and asks them to identify it. Cadences are played with and without melodies, in major and minor keys. All common cadences are used.

Chord Recognition

Chord Recognition tests the students ability to recognise the most common chords, and their inversions. You may add your own chords to the program!

Chord Singing

The Chord Singing topic requires students to sing a chord back, starting on a note provided. Chord Singing uses the same chords as chord recognition, and students must sing each note of the chord ascending.

Chord Progressions

The Chord Progressions topic builds upon the skills learnt in chord recognition and chord singing. Progressions of at least four chords are played, in major and minor keys, and students have to identify the chords that are played. A tonic chord is given before the progressions starts.

Advanced Chord Progressions

Advanced Chord Progressions starts where chord progressions ends, and is suitable for students familiar with advanced harmony. The topic covers chromatic harmony, with chords such as augmented 6ths, diminished chords, augmented triads, secondary/applied dominants etc.

Cluster Chords

The Cluster Chords topic has chords built upon stacks of 2nds and 4ths, and students must identify every note from each of the chords!

Jazz Chords

In this topic, students must identify individual chords, which are taken from jazz repetoire. These chords form the basis of most jazz harmony. The chords are all properley voiced.

Jazz Chord Singing

Jazz Chord singing requires students to sing back a given jazz chord; a starting note is provided. Students must sing back each note of the chord, in a triadic fashion.

Jazz Chord Progressions

This topic takes all the chords covered in Jazz Chords, and utilises them in common jazz chord progressions. A walking bass line is used in conjunction with a piano.
