( https://www.youtube.com/@cameronclark4667 - Visit this site for free training on how to get the most from this app. ) Some people struggle to play full piano scores using two different clefs, and needing to read note heads that are positioned vertically... when the rest of the time humans track side to side reading text. Add in the complexity of taking a vertical representation of notes you scan with traditional manuscript, and then expressing them on keys laid out horizontally... No wonder so many people can't play piano that way. YouTube tutorials alone only get you so far. Chord chart PDFs are accurate, but are rarely practical in gigging situations. Knowing chords is only half the battle. You need to know when to change to the next chord, and that requires good listening and experience (mistakes). Having some knowledge and then playing along with people would help but no one can afford to hire band for private jam sessions. I feel your pain. That's why I built an app that provides you with the instant chord knowledge you need, AND a virtual backing band so you can learn the changes and develop some ear training skills too (Start with slower tempos until you're ready for full speed). Make the mistakes at home, then wow people at the open mics, and then at the gigs. How do you get there? You don't need more theory. Don't waste time learning intervals that no pros think about while performing. You only need a tool that shows you exactly where to put your fingers and lets you hear each chord demonstrated properly in real time first, then add the rhythmic elements later. Books can't provide this. And most professional keyboardists are too busy to show you the tricks. This isn't a course you'll abandon after a week. It's a tool you'll reach for every time you sit down at the keys. It's a reference tool you'll refer to at a jam session when there's disagreement about chord anatomy. It's a training system that allows you to choose the curriculum you want to learn and save things for later. It's also a perfect framework for composing your own songs even if you don't believe you're a writer yet. **WHAT'S INSIDE** β€’ Dual Piano Keyboards β€” See exactly what each hand plays (Start with right hand, let the bass player handle the bass in many situations) β€’ Massive Chord Library β€” Triads, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, altered, sus, and more β€’ Named Jazz Voicings β€” Correct terminology, some of which are based on names of famous musicians β€’ Drum Accompaniment β€” Rock, Latin, Swing, Bossa Nova, and other patterns β€’ All 12 Keys β€” Transpose any progression instantly - great for moments when the singer in your group can't hit the high notes β€’ Adjustable Tempo β€” Slow it down to learn, speed it up to perform β€’ Save & Share Songs β€” Build your own library and send songs to friends **WHO IT'S FOR** β€’ Chording Piano players tired of only knowing basic chords β€’ Jazz enthusiasts who want to actually play, not just listen β€’ Worship musicians preparing for Sunday β€’ Songwriters sketching out progressions β€’ Teachers who need a visual tool for students (a great tool they can use to practice improv solos at home even with playback transposed for Bb & Eb instruments) β€’ Anyone who wants to study music from a harmonic perspective first, and build other skills along their way β€’ Readers who'd prefer jamming without sheet music **EVERY CHORD TYPE YOU'LL NEED** Major, minor, diminished, augmented, sus2, sus4, dominant 7th, major 7th, minor 7th, half-diminished, diminished 7th, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, altered dominants, add9, 6th chords, and many moreβ€”with multiple inversions.

OnScore is a music stand for musicians: import your scores, mark them up, order them into setlists, and perform straight through. Metronome, tuner, tempo trainer and recorder are built in. Bring your music in as PDF or MusicXML, photograph paper with the camera, or search free public domain scores. Then read it, mark it up, practise it and perform from it, all in one place. READING Page turns that keep up with you. Tap the edge of the page, swipe, or use a Bluetooth pedal. Choose the layout that suits the music: single page, two page spread, half page so there is no gap at the turn, continuous scroll, or reflow, which re-engraves a structured score to fit your screen. HANDS FREE Turn pages with a glance. Wink, turn your head, nod, raise an eyebrow or open your mouth. You choose the gesture and how sensitive it is. The camera work happens on your device and nothing leaves it. MARKING UP Fingerings, bowings, dynamics, cues and reminders, written with the Apple Pencil or your finger. A full set of musical stamps drawn in professional notation, plus text, highlights and shapes. Keep your marks on separate layers, so a teacher's notes and your own can be shown or hidden independently. Originals are never altered. SETLISTS AND PERFORMANCE Put pieces in the order you will play them, with markers for sections, intermissions or a note to yourself. Performance Mode clears the screen, keeps it awake, and preloads pages so turns never stutter. PRACTICE A metronome with tap tempo, count in and subdivisions. A chromatic tuner with adjustable reference pitch and transposition for wind and brass players. A tempo trainer that raises the tempo stage by stage. A recorder for takes you want to hear back. Your sessions and streak are kept so you can see the work adding up. WRITING AND EDITING Edit structured scores note by note: pitches, accidentals, dynamics, lyrics, whole staves. Write by hand on blank manuscript paper in the layout you choose. Export MusicXML, MIDI, a single part, or a PDF with your annotations included. PLAYING TOGETHER Lead a rehearsal over the local network. Everyone follows the same piece, the same page and the same place in the setlist. YOUR LIBRARY Folders, tags, collections, composers, genres and instruments, with search across all of it. Backup and restore when you want to move to a new device. BUILT FOR IPAD AND IPHONE Designed for the iPad on the stand and the iPhone in your pocket, with the layout adapting to whichever you are holding. Available in multiple languages.
