For pedal harpists: This app provides a quick and easy way to find the various pedal settings for commonly used glissandos in any key. Additionally, it will find pedal positions that produce a gliss for common chords (when possible). The pedal positions are set in the top window. You can listen to the glissando by pressing the "Play Gliss" button. The scale or chord names will be displayed (when possible) and alternative pedal positions will be shown that give the same combination of notes. For any key signature, you can quickly determine the pedal options for Tonic, IV, and V7 glissandos. A chord can be selected and pedals set to play that chord (when possible).

Read full description

Chordelia helps music students master the skill of identifying chords, with a visually engaging setting and pleasant feedback for correct answers. There are nine levels of difficulty, beginning with simple major and minor three note chords in root position, then at the middle levels adding inversions, diminished and augmented chords, and at the highest level adding 7th chords and open position chords. Students choose their level, and when they have mastered that level they move to the next. Each level includes review of lower levels, but builds the new skills required at the chosen level.
