Understanding harmony is an essential skill for any musician. Harmony is the springboard that elevates melodies to their full emotional potential. Harmony Cloud™ is a revolutionary step forward in the world of ear training created by world renowned jazz vibraphonist and music educator Stefon Harris, and software engineer and jazz trombonist Kate Jiang. It is designed to help all musicians, from beginner to professional, expand their ears, deepen their understanding of harmony, and fearlessly explore the world of improvisation. Its underlying patented harmonic algorithm stitches together chords you select into an unending source of unpredictable, yet musical, chord progressions. Harmony Cloud can be tailored to any musician's or teacher’s needs. Chord progressions can range from very simple I, IV, V to progressions that include hundreds of chords. This makes it easy to learn and grow at your own pace. You have control of all aspects of the music including tempo, volume, sounds, key signature, and much more.
