Piano Companion

Enhance your musical knowledge and composition skills with Piano Companion, an extensive chord and scale dictionary designed to serve both novice and seasoned musicians. This dynamic app is a treasure trove of over 1,500 piano chords, including major, minor, and more complex inversions, alongside an impressive repertoire of 10,000+ scales such as major, minor, chromatic, and pentatonic variations.

A standout feature of the app is the user-friendly chord progression builder, complete with a Circle of Fifths (or chord wheel), which aids users in crafting and understanding song compositions. The chord progression builder facilitates experimentation with various chord sequences, providing insights into music theory through relative and common chord associations.

For those moments when a chord or scale name escapes you, the application offers a quick and efficient search function that operates by key selection or via a connected MIDI keyboard, instantly offering potential matches for your composition. Customization is at the heart of the platform, allowing the creation of personalized chords, maintenance of chord charts, and organization of a user library that caters to specific preferences.

The game is also an excellent tool for auditory learners, providing audio support to hear how chords and scales sound in loops or arpeggiated forms. The interactive staff displays for both treble and bass clefs enhance understanding of chord and scale placements within sheet music.

Key advantages include compatibility with external MIDI keyboards, MIDI output for iOS users to connect with digital audio workstations, and a comprehensive selection of musical notations. Users can contribute to and benefit from shared scale fingerings within the supportive community. Additionally, it offers analytical tools, such as secondary dominant and leading-tone labels, and suggestions for similar and relative scales to further enrich musical explorations.

Whether you're aiming to master the theoretical underpinnings of music, craft intricate chord progressions, or simply search for compatible chords and scales, Piano Companion stands ready to bolster your musical journey.
