Description

Piano Companion is a music theory app which helps songwriters, producers, teachers and their students. It’s a flexible piano chords and scales dictionary with user libraries, reverse mode, the circle of 5ths, chord progression builder with common patterns. If you can’t remember the name of a piano chord or scale, this app helps you to find it by keys or using your external MIDI keyboard. For example, just press C, G and you will get C Major as the first piano chord in the search result. If you don’t see a piano chord or a specific scale, you can create a custom piano chord or scale and use it for chord charts or your user library.

The Piano Companion app shows chord and scale notes on the grand staff, degrees, relative scales, intervals, fingering for both hands in major and minor scales – and you can contribute your own custom fingering too. You can practice scales in different keys and clefs, practice progressions. Additionally, you can listen to how a scale or chord sounds in the loop or arpeggiated. You can see the list of compatible chords in the selected scale or list of compatible scales for a selected chord.

Excellent piano companion

I use this app, quite a bit as a quick reference, and to understand the relationships between notes and chords.

Great app but….

We as musicians when we go to a particular scales we wants to see all the Chords we that are found on that scale, (Diatonic Chords) thats not happens with this app, when we go to a scale it gives us just some of the chords of that scale and Common chords

For example I wanted to know what was my Seventh Chord on E Minor Harmonic, so I went to the e minor harmonic scale, and guess what, that chord was no where to be found, I had to search it up another place,

Could you guys add another tap, Diatonic Chords for the scales, thanks

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your comment! We will consider that for the next updates. The new major update will include a couple useful features related to chord progressions - stay tuned! :)

The best scales - chords app

This is so far the best app I have used for scales and chords, the reverse scale, chords feature is the most useful and easy way to get around! 😃

Developer Response ,
