The following is a guest post by my student M of Chord Drops, an online music game available at Theta Music Trainer:
Chord Drops: A Student Review
Chord Drops is about recognizing chords. It has you choose what chord you think it sounds like. It mainly practices your ear. It had different levels of difficulty and you could choose if you were a beginner . Or pick a different mode.
It was really interesting, and it is a fun way to practice your ear. I liked the icons and how easy it was to play.
I think that it is a fun game for ear training and that it is fun yet very useful
I would have liked a bit more to it because after a while it can get a bit boring. The icon is a coconut.
Chord Drops: Teacher First Impressions
Chord Drops has 20 levels of difficulty, from Beginner to Expert. There is also a Practice Mode and Play Mode.
In Play Mode, You have five lives and are being scored. If you set up an account through Theta Trainer, your high scores could make it onto the High Score page.
It’s a neat, simple, flash game that gets students to develop their chord recognition in the context of harmonic function.
