You just can’t always name them — and a symbol like Cmaj7#11 on a lead sheet still reads like a code nobody taught you. Piano Companion closes that gap. Press the keys on screen, or play them on your MIDI keyboard, and the app names the chord straight away — press C and G and C Major comes back first. Open any chord or scale and you see what it is actually built from: the notes on the grand staff, the intervals, the degrees, the fingering for both hands, and the other chords that fit the same key. Theory stops being a wall of terms and becomes something you can see and hear. 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. The app helps you to compose, practice progressions and experiment with different chord progressions using our Chord Progression Builder with relative or common chords. Key features: - 1500+ piano chords, up to 6th inversions such as major, minor, diminished, augmented, sevenths, etc. - 10,000+ scales, such as Ionian (major), Aeolian (minor), Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Locrian, Harmonic minor, Melodic Minor, chromatic, pentatonic, blues, etc. - Chord Progression builder with scale patterns (chord sequencer) - Interactive Circle of Fifths with grand staff and relative scales - Ability to input your own custom chords and organize your own chord charts and library - External MIDI keyboard support for reverse mode - MIDI output with the ability to connect your favorite DAW (Ableton, Garage Band, etc.) with Piano Companion - List of available chords in Circle of Fifths, practice common chords. - Popular key notations: English, Italian, German, Japanese, Russian, etc. - Shows chord and scale in different octaves on the grand staff with treble and bass clef - Analytical labels: Secondary Dominant and Secondary Leading-Tone - Common degrees: Tonic, Supertonic, Mediant, Subdominant, Dominant, Submediant, Leading tone (in Major scale) / Subtonic (in Natural Minor Scale) - Displays compatible chords’ scales - Ability to create custom chords or modify existing ones - Audio support: the ability to play a chord in the loop or arpeggio; ability to play a scale in the loop - Arpeggio in the chord progressions - Relative chords in chord progressions - You can create your own scale fingering and have the ability to use community scale fingerings - Custom chord libraries and chord charts - Ability to create favorite scales - Chord Intervals: Unison, Perfect Fifth, Major Third, Minor Third, etc. - Songbook: write lead sheets with chords above your lyrics, then perform them with playback, auto-scroll and chord diagrams; export or print as PDF - Metronome with tempo marks, customizable beats per bar, subdivisions and polyrhythms - Playable piano keyboard, splittable into two rows — record your ideas into a local library We would love to hear your feedback.

I've used it with Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" piano music and various works by George Winston. Winston's compositions in particular make use of chords and chord progressions. The time spent studying the pieces sans piano but with this software was rewarding. -- MarekTomasz, 2024-08-16 ### *---- "Still waiting for refund" No access with PRO purchase of $13. No response from support. Only was able to use for 1 week. -- melbp, 2024-08-06 ### ***-- "Good app if bugs were fixed" Great app, good tool for learning chords. One annoying bug is that occasionally when I’m the piano progression section the app will immediately send you back to the Home Screen of the app over and over again until you restart the app only for the problem to happen again. Makes it almost unusable at times but when the app works it’s great -- 251s, 2023-08-09 ### **--- "App needs work for basic functionality" The content of this app is great, it’s basically a chord and scale encyclopedia. Excellent reference tool. But it is so buggy that it’s virtually unusable. In the scales / chord dictionary sections, about 65% of the time there is no sound when you click the scale. You can open the scale and click individual notes which produces sound, but not from the main scale or chord dictionary pages. I have to keep hard closing the app over and over again until it decided to boot up with volume. I’ve run into similar issues in the chord progression section, where instead of playing back the chord, it’s just a single note.. (and I’m familiar with the chord / arpeggio settings in chord progression, not a settings issue)… This also can only be resolved (IF it decides to resolve) by hard exiting the app and reopening. Sometimes one reboot will get it to work and sometimes I reset the app 10 times and still can’t get any sound out of it, then all of a sudden it works. It’s a great idea for an app, but there are also a million apps that do the same thing as this one. Piano Chords and Scales is the exact same app (the original) but much better functionality -- Murphy (Robocop), 2023-05-23 ### ***** "Every scale and chord imaginable" The title says it all. This app shows countless chords and scales, what fingers to use, the whole or half steps you need, accompanying chords to use (plus a chart for those chords without having to look them up)….just everything. It’s very educational as well. It is easy to use and find what you need. Just a perfect companion for piano players. -- Drummerkat, 2022-11-14 ### ***** "Worth it" There’s always a steep learning curve with any new software but this one was worth it. -- Proff2008, 2022-10-06 ### ***-- "Hi" I’m horny -- aaabb/, 2022-10-04 ### *---- "Crashes" Bro all things are helpful if they work. This app crashes consistently -- kk_lofi, 2022-06-06 ### *---- "piano pitch is slightly off" just realized it such a bummer -- subbaSs_freq, 2022-05-12 ### ***** "Great Piano App" This app has been a great help for me as I learn the piano - both as I learn existing songs and as I compose my own. I’ve tried all the other apps (including the prettier ones) but Piano Companion is head and shoulders above imo. The chord progression builder is perfect. I love that you can add chord inversions, but equally impressive is that the app automatically applies chord inversions when it makes sense for the progression (from a voice leading perspective). This was completely unexpected and is an amazing feature. Some of the other apps don’t support inversions at all which is strange since even as a beginner it seems like a foundation of playing songs to accompany singers, etc. I wish this app was under active development . There’s a few features I’d like but overall this is my go-to composition and learning tool for chords and scales. -- AJ-MKE, 2022-02-11 [View all Piano Companion reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Piano Companion In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Chords PRO | $1.99 | | Scales PRO | $1.99 | | Lifetime ∞ | $12.99 | | Progressions PRO | $2.99 | | Chords & Scales Pro | $8.99 | | PRO for One Year Subscription | $3.99 | ## Piano Companion Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | Russia | Music | #16 | ## Piano Companion Discovered Keywords -
