FastChordsPro Description

FastChords is a program to help you learn piano using music found in Fake Books. Fake books collect songs in "lead sheet music notation" that show only the chords and the melody lines of the songs. Both beginners and professionals use lead sheet music. Expert musicians should have no trouble converting chord symbols into keyboard keys, but beginners and no-so-beginners do. In this particular area FastChords really excels. With FastChords you can quickly create and print a table of all the chords (and melody notes!) of a song for easy reference while playing. With FastChords you can enter full songs - including rhythmic values - and play these songs on the computer speakers or on the speakers of a midi instrument. Once songs are entered into FastChords, the power of the program can be applied to find the optimal chord configuration - chord inversion and octave position - to facilitate playing and to transpose chords to different keys. The repertoire of chords that FastChords "knows" about is in the hundreds, including common chord synonyms. Not only FastChords instantly maps chord symbols to keyboard keys, but it can also figure out chord symbols from the piano keys selected on the keyboard. This is particularly useful when playing chords on midi instruments.
