The slider raises the website's output. Your phone's media volume still sets the final maximum.
Press and hold a key to keep its sound going, or slide across keys to play each note. Use more than one finger for chords. Turn your phone sideways for two octaves and tap Full screen for more room.
Free play: hold a key for a longer sound; hold two or more together for a chord. Try finding C, D, E, F and G from the book.
Listen with your eyes too: the note name is printed on each key. Find the note the game asks for.
Does the second note move next door, or jump over one?
A semitone is the smallest keyboard step. A tone is two semitones.
Choose the three notes that make the C-major home chord: scale degrees 1, 3 and 5.

Chapter 7
Compare the tiny semitone with the larger tone.
Chapters 8–9
