Studying music theory can be a fruitful undertaking, but it can often overwhelm
|

or bore students. I think that if practicing is enjoyable, students will

practice more. Practice doesn't make perfect; *perfect* practice makes perfect.

## How does it work?
|
||||
|
||||
1. Grab a cell phone or a laptop and your instrument.
|
||||
2. Open a web browser and visit the Chord Drill Sergeant app (URL and app forthcoming).

|

3. Set the tempo at which you would like to practice.
|

4. Set the target duration of your session.
|
||||
5. Select the key(s) and chord(s) you would like to practice.
|

6. Set the tempo (i.e. pace) at which you would like to practice.

appears.

## Highlights
|

|

Here are some useful features of CDS:
|

- Tempo: Set the rate at which CDS displays chords.

- Predefined practice sessions: CDS offers users a few practice sessions to get

|

- Whitelist / blacklist: Construct the set of chords you would like to
|
||||
practice. Let's say you only want to practice triads in the keys of F, C, and
|
||||
G. Would you also like to avoid diminished chords? Or maybe you *only* want to
|
||||
practice major-7th chords for *all* keys. CDS supports all of these scenarios
|

practice major-7th chords for *all* keys. LPC supports all of these scenarios
|
||||
and many others. You can save these chord configurations to reuse them at any
|
||||
time. You can also share chord configurations with other CDS users if you find
|
||||
time. You can also share chord configurations with other LPC users if you find
|
||||
the practice useful.
|
||||
- Inversions: Every chord has inversions. For instance, every triad (i.e. chord
|
||||
composed of three notes) has three inversions: root, second, and third
|
||||
positions. CDS acknowledges all of the positions in which chords may appear
|
||||
positions. LPC acknowledges all of the positions in which chords may appear
|
||||
and helps you study all, some, or none of these inversions.

- Harmony: CDS understands basic harmony and can sort the chords you would like

- Chaos-mode: Feeling confident? Throw the classical notions of harmony to the
|

wayside and use CDS in "chaos-mode" where CDS samples randomly from the Circle
