Chords

Game:

The student hears a chord and has to:
• if multiple choice: choose the right answer from (max. 5) possible answers.
• as a dictation: putting the notes in the right place.

The app generates questions in ‘random’ order based on teacher-chosen material and preferences.

To be set by the teacher (on the teachers’ page):

• question (if not filled in, the standard question will be displayed)
• type of question/display in the app (see below)
• playback speed: very slow / slow / medium / fast
• Keep settings of the player?
– Yes (=standard): settings of the player (such as key) affect the display in the app;
– No: the teacher chooses instrument and key (+ transpose if necessary) as it is also displayed in the app.
• mode of playback:
– broken
– simultaneous
– broken + simultaneous
• content (see below)

• number of response options (2 to 5)
• number of questions/number of correct answers (+ minimum % correct answers)

Type of question/display in the app:

Text (multiple choice)

• You hear 3 or more tones that together form a chord.
• Choose the right one from the possible answers by clicking on it.
