Description

Understanding harmony is an essential skill for any musician. Harmony is the springboard that elevates melodies to their full emotional potential.

Harmony Cloud™ is a revolutionary step forward in the world of ear training created by world renowned jazz vibraphonist and music educator Stefon Harris, and software entrepreneur and jazz trombonist Clif Swiggett. It is designed to help all musicians, from beginner to professional, expand their ears, deepen their understanding of harmony, and fearlessly explore the world of improvisation. Its underlying (patent-pending) algorithm stitches together chords you select into an unending source of unpredictable, yet musical, chord progressions.

"Listen and Play" lets you immerse yourself in chord progressions and play along with your instrument (or voice). Use it to deepen your intuitive sense of harmony, to practice improvisation, to play by ear, and to improve aspects of your performance including intonation and emotional expressiveness.

"Bass Note Practice" teaches you to identify the pitch of the bass note and recognize bass line movements. Bass lines are the foundation of every chord progression and the more accurately and quickly you can hear the bass note, the better.

"Chord Quality Practice" deepens your emotional and physical connection to chord qualities including major, minor, diminished, augmented, and sus4. You will learn to recognize these qualities intuitively and reflexively.

"Inversions Practice" teaches you to hear the difference between root, first, and second inversions. Inversions are chord voicings that put the tonic, the third, or the fifth of the chord in the bass note. Each inversion is very distinct, beautiful, and has different harmonic tendencies.

"Full Chord Practice" lets you combine three essential skills (recognizing bass note, chord quality, and inversion) to fully identify chords quickly, accurately, and completely by ear.

"Play Chord Pitches" develops your ability to identify each of the distinct notes in a chord. When a new chord plays, use the keyboard to identify each of its pitches.

"Take the Challenge" to test your skill level, go for high scores, and track your progress. Each of the challenges tests one of the essential skills that you've practiced. When you start a challenge, like a musical performance, there’s no stopping, pausing, or restarting midway through. Every challenge is scored. Your scores, as well as other performance stats, are saved so that you can see your progress over time.

Harmony Cloud can be tailored to any musician's or teacher’s needs. Chord progressions can range from very simple I, IV, V progressions to progressions that include hundreds of chords. This makes it easy to learn and grow at your own pace. You have control of all aspects of the music including tempo, volume, sounds, key signature, and much more.

We invite all musicians to install Harmony Cloud. And be sure to visit the Harmony Cloud YouTube channel for instruction and inspiration.

Wish I’d found this sooner

BuffaloShrimp on

Upright bass player here. Great way to do both, practice reading and work on one’s ear. Love alternating bass and treble clef. Do wish one could advance through Listen & play (ear on) with a Bluetooth foot peddle. Otherwise awesome!

Can we get an update?

Clyde-frog on

You visited my uni ~1 yr ago, showed off the app and a future update. You promised that if we bought this app, you would release the update soon. Give us the update so we can our $ worth (this is why i bought it in the first place).

Good app but where’s the update?

Bluzhorn on

I thought there would be an update last summer.

A few bugs, no updates

Schoenberg on

Sadly, this app seems to have been abandoned. A few bugs with transposing instruments and lack of customisation options makes me regret having spent so much on this app. Hopefully the developer comes back to fix these issues, because this could be so great.

Using this app i was able to conquer my nerves in piano! Im new to music and this app has been a big help! Thanks again! ❤️ T.T

Waste of money

Too Slow and drops on

Definitely not what I thought it was going to be. Was looking for a way to drone chords and this is definitely not it

Great app for ear training!!

REITAx on

My college professor recommended I download this app for ear training, and it has definitely been a great help! It's become easier to anticipate hoed changes when I play in real time. The app is very user friendly and everything is easily accessible. There's only one thing I could think of as an improvement to make an already great app even better, and that is to add 7th chords as well as extensions! I really hope more musicians who take their training seriously download this app and share it with others, especially jazz musicians who need a helping hand with hearing chord qualities and changes.

Great app

Kid loves tangled on

Thanks for the response, that makes sense now!

Wonderful App! Small Request...

Nicholas G. Martinez on

I am incredibly impressed with the development of this application. I had the privilege of seeing a presentation of this app at PASIC 2015 in San Antonio. I have one small suggestion/request. I am colorblind. I have trouble seeing the highlighted note in "Listen and Play". Would it be possible to add more colors so that people with trouble differentiating certain colors can have an easier time? Thank you for the time you put into this tremendous app! 5 Stars!!

A Truly Revolutionary Ear Training App

Tyler Kaneshiro on

Harmony Cloud is an amazing app! I am a professional trumpet player who graduated from New York University and I use this app in my practice daily. I find that its extensive range of harmony progressions covers a rich, colorful, logical and full spectrum of music. It is easy to use, educational, challenging, and fun! Whether you find yourself a novice or a serious professional, I highly recommend buying this app to further your connection with harmony and music.
