Chords

Game:
You hear or see a chord and have 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.
• (theory dictation only) Play sound? (Yes/No)
• Tones (=mode of playback):
– broken
– simultaneous
– broken + simultaneous
• Content (see below)
• (multiple choice only) Number of answer possibilities
• 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.
• If necessary, you can click on the blue circle to hear it again. (After clicking twice, you score fewer points).
If necessary, click on the i at the top left for information on the content.
