Instructions

Getting started

  • Click "Settings..." to change the way the drill works — you can control if sounds will play.
  • Click "Start" to get started.
  • You'll see a staff with a chord displayed, as selected by the choice boxes below.
  • Change any of the choices to show a different chord.
  • OR... choose the note you'd like to use (sharp? natural?) and click on the staff to change the chord's root note.
  • When you're done working, click "Stop".

Using your keyboard

You can quickly choose the note you want for a root note, using the keys 1-5: 1 = double-flat, 2 = flat, 3 = natural, 4 = sharp, 5 = double-sharp. Identify the triad type using this letter: Major, miNor, Augmented, Diminished (sorry, no shortcuts for 7th chords...)
