| Overview: |
This skill test offers you the opportunity to build chords in any inversions from a given note (including Augmented Sixths). The applet is interactive and lets you check for the correct answer and also keeps a running score. There is also a link to an online music reference that presents intervals, chords and scales. This reference is heavily hyperlinked and offers audio files for many of the notational examples. |
| Learning Goals: |
Interval, chord and scale building. |
| Target Student Population: |
High school and college students. |
| Prerequisite Knowledge or Skills: |
Although the background reference material is quite complete some musical performance experience and a knowledge of chord definitions, inversions... would help. |
| Type of Material: |
Interactive Java-based applet. |
| Recommended Uses: |
Drill and practice for developing mastery of chords/inversions. This skill test could be used to supplement many beginning music theory classes. It would require some initial grounding for the student but once in the online theory reference much of the information needed to use the applet successfully is presented. |
| Technical Requirements: |
A multimedia computer with a current Java capable browser. |
