Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Pianist Corner App for Learning Chord Blocks?

Hello friends,

Is there an app that helps train a person to easily recognize chord blocks (rather than just individual notes)?

Much the same way we learned how to read single notes when first starting, I’d like to now get better at recognizing chord patterns or chord blocks, so my mind can start recognition by ‘chunking’ rather than reading notes individually.

I’m sure this would happen naturally the more I progress with learning different pieces of sheet music. However I wonder if there is an app out there than would provide good training for this?

Thanks in advance for suggestions!

i have not heard of any app, it doesnt sound like a fun app to me.

maybe play more arpeggios or some pieces that are chordal based - this one by chopin is fun

In the Apple Store, there is Piano Chords and Scales.
