Introducing my app – Emusic.Tools

[EuFarei]

I’m currently building a free online platform with music tools aimed at students and teachers, especially those studying at conservatories or giving lessons who need quick, practical resources without any hassle.

The idea came from a pretty common situation: when you’re practicing or teaching, you end up jumping between different websites for basic things, a metronome in one tab, a chord generator in another, theory somewhere else… and you spend more time switching tools than actually playing or teaching.

So I decided to bring everything together in one place:
https://emusic.tools/es

At the moment, it includes things like:

• A configurable online metronome
• A chord generator to explore progressions
• Tools for working on rhythm and theory
• Quick utilities for day-to-day practice

Everything runs directly in your browser, no installation needed. The goal is to keep it fast, simple, and genuinely useful, whether you’re just starting out or already at a more advanced level.

It’s still a work in progress, so there’s plenty of room for improvement. That’s exactly why I’d really value feedback from people who study music or teach, what’s missing, what feels unnecessary, what doesn’t quite work in real practice, etc.

If anyone gives it a try and has any thoughts (even critical ones), I’d really appreciate it.

I had a play with your chord progression recognition test. It's a nice idea! It also reminds me that one of the hardest things in breaking down music by ear is that you often face really fast chord changes, but also inversions and layered instruments such that's quite hard to identify the root of the chord at all. Outside of cheesy pop, it's usually a long way from tonic triad. I have no concrete suggestions here, but it's quite a big jump from your synth chord generator to doing the same with actual music, and I've found it hard to cultivate that ability in myself to recognise chords from recordings.

Obviously including mp3s or whatever of more realistic instrument sounds would be a big pain to catalogue as well as increase server bandwidth consumption quite a bit. Food for thought!
