Keybed Harmony

Welcome! The purpose of Keybed Harmony is to create 'keybed' diagrams providing visual representation by highlighting what piano-keys are contained within a specific scale or chord. Users can specify from a variety of different options to create bespoke diagrams.

• Root Note.
• Keybed Start Note.
• Link Keybed Start Note to Root.
• Highlight all the notes of a scale.
• • Highlight all the notes of a chord.
  • Select a voicing.
  • Select an inversion.
  • Label Scale - when a note is chosen, a scale can also be selected to identify a chord and scale simultaneously.

Clicking the gear icon on the top right of the page opens the keybed preferences, select between light and dark mode. More imporantly users can select the height and width of the keybed which makes it easy to arrange keybeds for print and to fit on various screen sizes.

Creating Diagrams To Visualise Chord Progressions

In the following example a popular chord progression has been illustrated. Each keybed diagram starts from the C note but has a different chord selected, helping to visualise how to play the progression with efficient ergonomic fingering and voice-leading opportunities.

Using the reverse button to reverse the chord progression demonstrates an interesting alternative.
