Presentation

This software package has been designed in order to help beginners in piano read a score and manage to correctly position their fingers on piano keys without taking their eyes off the score they intend to perform.

Indeed, the first difficulty that beginners in piano face when performing a piece they do not know is entailed by the fact they have to take their eyes off their score in order to look at their hands and perform the chord or notes they have just read. 

Principle

The principle on which this software package runs is very simple:

    Your computer provides you with a random series of chords on your screen and you are expected to perform them on your midi keyboard. 

There is no notion of respect for rhythm in this case. On contrary, you answer as fast as you can … the fastest you are, the best mark you have. Indeed, since exercises are graded, you will be able to follow your progress.

It goes without saying that a certain number of parameters make it possible to interact on the way chords are generated. It also enables one to select his/her level of difficulty:

    

Selection of the type of scale (number of sharp or flats in the key signature)

    Selection of the chord type (major, minor, etc..): 14 types of chords are recognized

    Selection of the number of notes composing the chord: from 1 to 4 notes

    Selection of the chord inversion type

    Selection of the chord generation intermission range: the entire keyboard or limited to one or several octaves

  Names of generated chords displayed or not (Anglo-Saxon or French notation)

   Aiding for positioning one’s hands displayed or not

Software other functions

    A score editor in order to select a series of chords and/or notes you want to particularly work on: constant exercises. (Manual mode)

    A « blind » mode for you to work your ear: the program plays a series of 4 chords but it is not displayed: it belongs to you to recognize and play it.

    Possible identification (creation and selection of a pupil) enabling the preservation of exercise results for various different people.

Example: Consultation of exercise results in the manual mode:
