on your iPhone or iPod.
Chordelia: Triad Tutor teaches you to recognise the most important types of chord in a fun, simple way – even if you’ve never learned about chords or music theory before.
|  |
Chordelia: Triad Tutor teaches you the 4 core types of chord you need to know to tackle these real-world musical challenges. By learning to recognise major, minor, augmented, and diminished ‘triads’, you’ll boost your musical creativity and perception, and build a foundation for learning more advanced chords like seventh chords, extended chords, and suspended chords.
You’ll learn how to:
- Distinguish major and minor chords – instantly, effortlessly, and reliably
- Recognise the unusual sounds of augmented and diminished chords and how they can enhance a song
- Identify all these chord types, whichever inversion is used – and know which inversion it is!

Chordelia: Triad Tutor uses the same approach as our best-selling interval training app, RelativePitch, which has helped thousands of musicians learn to hear intervals easily and reliably. You’ll get the information you need for each topic, and can then train and test your ear to learn the material at your own pace. Using the app for even just five minutes a day will noticeably improve your chord skills!
If you get stuck, the lessons can be adjusted to meet your needs and help you pinpoint difficulties. The app automatically tracks your progress too, so you’ll know that you’re improving.
Maybe you’ve spent some time training intervals with RelativePitch and want to extend your skills to chords. Or perhaps you’re an experienced musician who wants to make sure they have the fundamentals rock-solid. Or you could be a complete beginner who wants to understand what makes chords tick.
Whatever your background, Chordelia: Triad Tutor will quickly get you up to speed with the most important types of chord, and develop your musical ear in an easy, fun and effective way.
User reviews for Chordelia: Triad Tutor
This is another brilliant app from Easy Ear Training; well designed, good looking, stable, inexpensive and thoroughly useful. I've been training and testing for the past few days, and I've improved my knowledge of chords more quickly than any other method I've tried. Part of this is undoubtedly due to the fun factor, as this is truly the most entertaining way to learn something that has previously seemed a bit tedious and dry. Fantastic app, I can't recommend it enough!

"Wow! These guys have really out done themselves this time. I've been working with a professional instructor on harmonic ear training for the past few weeks. Consequently, I was very eager to check out the release of Chordelia. Basically it does exactly what my instructor does...for substantially less. I highly recommend this app for anyone interested in improving their ear for harmony."

"I spent hours and hours in front of a piano keyboard during high school and college, playing one chord after another in order to learn to differentiate between them. This app would have made the process much easier. It is very easy to use, portable, and does exactly what it advertises - helps you learn the sound of different types of chords. I particularly like that you can customize settings in the training mode. Make the chords go faster or slower, display the chord type while it is playing or after it has played, plus several other customizable options. Both my 5 year-old granddaughters and I think this is a great app, and all three of us think you should buy it if you want to learn to differentiate various types of chords."

"As an avid user of Relative Pitch, I've been waiting for an app to help me with chords. I was thrilled to find Chordelia, and am already hooked. There are three things in particular that I enjoy so far: 1) It's easy to use: the graphical interface is clean and user friendly and I feel like I've been able to navigate through the app easily 2) It's educational: I have a basic understanding of chords, but this app is already helping me reach a whole different level 3) It's fun! Just like RelativePitch, I enjoy that it feels like a game and I get instant feedback on how I'm doing I would highly recommend this to anyone whose looking to learn about chords or improve their ear. Outstanding!"
