Music Theory - Piano Chords

If you want to make some beautiful music, you need to learn some chords! Piano Chords is a fun way to practice chord identification on a keyboard, firming up the skill that forms the foundation of both performing and composition. Challenge yourself with fourteen levels of difficulty, starting with basic root position triads and moving through a variety of seventh chords, with and without inversions. Don't worry: if you need a little assistance, a hint option will show you the lowest note of the chord.

Tonic Tutor keeps track of your game results, including detailed information for each question you answer. Find out how you're doing over time: tell at a glance what you need work on and see how much your skills are improving!

Hints - Highlights the first note in the chord, making the game a bit easier.

Relative to Key - When yes is selected, dominant and diminished 7th chords are presented based on the major or minor key to which they are traditionally connected; i.e. the notes of "dominant 7th chord of C major" would be G-B-D-F. When no is selected, these chords exist independently of any harmonic framework; i.e. the notes of "B diminished 7th chord" would be B-D-F-A flat.
