Music Applications

Introduction

I created these music-teaching applications during my early time as a programmer while I worked at The Music School (now defunct) in American Fork, Utah. They served me well while I was there, and now I hope that you will find them useful. If you’d like to download any of these for offline use, let me know.

The applications require the use of Adobe Flash, as that was the tech of the time. It’s still available for free download here:

Adobe Flash for Edge (Windows 10)

Adobe Flash for Chrome

Adobe Flash for Firefox

(If you don’t see the application when loading at first in Edge, just resize the window.)

The Apps

Learn notes quickly by placing them on the staff while you’re timed according to your desired settings for difficulty.

Chord Driller

See how fast you can specify the notes for all triads and / or seventh chords. Knowing how to spell chords is vital, basic skill to an understanding of so much other music theory.
