Chord Comet

MusicBuilding TriadsGrades 3–6Keyboard

What students practice

Students practice building triads, turning three arms around a wheel of the seven music letters so they land on a letter, skip one, a letter, skip one, a letter, matching the three notes of a shown chord.

How to play

Players turn the arms with the arrow keys or letter keys A through G and fire with Space, Enter, or the letter key again; letting three comets hit the wheel ends the mission, and a miss shows the correct chord.

Teacher Setup

Teacher Setup lets a teacher choose which keys are in play, how the chord is shown, whether the answer is shown on a miss, and the speed; the end screen offers a printable list of chords, with their three notes, to practice.
