Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.
For
Piano learners studying chord construction
Worth noticing
Chord formulas are shown as semitone steps, with selectable voicings from root position through second inversion.

Field notes

The interface makes interval arithmetic visible alongside the keyboard: the example C Major 7th is rendered as successive +4, +3, and +4 semitone moves. Users can switch among grand piano, electric, and organ sounds, adjust volume, sustain, and release, and connect MIDI hardware. The page also exposes drill and progress sections, while the mood-based progression maker is presented as an AI feature rather than independently verified functionality.
