It’s up to YOU to decide about our first FREE software release!
Hi there!
I am happy to tell you that we have our first poll ready for YOU to decide what is going to be the first FREE software release!
Please tell us by voting on the poll on the right side panel.
We want your comments and opinions!
We listen to YOU!
Yes! Our team wants to develop great creations just for you, so we need all your feedback.
Here at The Piano Encyclopedia we plan to release many free products that are useful for intermediate and advanced piano players, or even those who are just starting and want to learn faster and efficiently.
Say no to hours and hours of practicing and no progress. You need tools and we plan to provide you with them, so that you can make great achievements in less time.
Would you be interested in learning chords? Never found out what scales were useful for? Or would you need some help on composing and improvising and would love to learn about harmony? Did know that intervals are the primary structure of chords, scales, and … music?
Let me tell you in more detail what we plan to cover in our future releases, so that you can tell us what you wish to try first:
Chord Dictionary
- Contains chord and families of chords displayed graphically with keyboard illustrations and colored keys, ordered chromatically in order to learn them and memorize them easily, as well as in circle of fifths (useful for modulation purposes- aka changing from one scale to another).
- All chords are accompanied by a description of their structure, a useful tip about their functionality and how they are used in compositions, as well as all the names and synonyms for that chord including popular, jazz, and blues standards.
- Contains scales and families of scales displayed graphically with keyboard illustrations and colored keys showing all the keys that should be played corresponding to the scales.
- They are also ordered chromatically in order to learn them and memorize them easily, as well as in circle of fifths (useful for modulation purposes- aka changing from one scale to another). All scales are accompanied by a description of their structure, as well as by all it’s equivalent names.
Intervals Dictionary:
- Intervals are the main structure of chords and scales. Contains intervals and families of intervals displayed graphically with keyboard illustrations and colored keys showing all the keys that should be played corresponding to the scales.
- They are also ordered chromatically in order to learn them and memorize them easily, as well as in circle of fifths (useful for modulation purposes- aka changing from one scale to another). All intervals are accompanied by a description of their structure, as well as by all it’s equivalent names.
Harmony Dictionary:
- This is a very special dictionary, my favorite by the way, which shows how to harmonize any scale. Given each scale, it shows symbolically and graphically, with high-quality keyboard colored illustrations, what chord you should play given each note of each scale.
- This is useful for composing, improvising, or even predicting what chord comes next in your favorite song. If you are a starter in harmony, this will probably open your eyes and your view and understanding of music will change completely. If you are more experienced, this will help you for a deeper understanding, and to be able to play along and compose in different scales more easily. I personally use them for composing my new songs.
The poll is on the right side of this blog.
(“What are you most interested in learning” poll).
Hope you have a great day!

Hi Simon! Yes! We’re building a system that will let users progress from begginers to pro’s, making it faster to learn and more effective than *any* other method. 🙂
The idea is to teach harmony concepts right from the beggining, accelerating the learning progress throughout simple but very powerful music concepts that will let you compose, improvise, and look at the songs that you already play with a different scope. All those music and harmony secrets unveiled.
With 20 years of piano playing I am sure you might have lot’s of experience, but the system we’ll let you explore areas of your interest and in the desired depth and difficulty. So you’ll have much to enjoy, and especially in the Harmony Dictionary.
The Harmony Dictionary is growing bigger -and with more new features. We’re now working so that you’ll be able to compose your own songs in your computer, write and listen to chord progressions, learn about song-reharmonizations, and advanced composing techniques, all with interactive animations.
You’ll learn how to harmonize *any scale* -*any melody*, and your piano vision really will change.
You’ll understand the relation between chords and scales, and how they make harmony together. Once you understand that you’ll see music pieces in a whole different way, or at least that was my experience. 😛
As I said before, it’s my personal favorite. I now spend most of my time improvising and composing my own works.
Simon stay in touch, and tell me more about yourself and your piano background!
Cheers! 😉
Rod
P.S: We’ll post about the new features we’ve developed soon! Simon, also be sure to sign-up to the mailing list to receive an invitation for the beta-testing, and feel free to contact me by email.

Hi,
I see the last update on this site appears to be January 2008. Is this site still active?
I am really interested in the piano encyclopedia and would like to see an update on whether it will still be coming soon… and if you have an idea if it will be within the next 3,6, or more months.
I guess I am feeling like a kid waiting for Christmas.

We’ll surely be releasing The Piano Encyclopedia not in the next 3,6, or more months, but probably this March 2008!!! 😎
So stay tight until we publish the exact release date!
Even though the latest update appears to be January in 2008 -as seen in the last post of our blog- you may check the latest updates in our Piano Community Room, where updates are made almost daily!
