Chordzy roadmap

Chordzy is still in beta, and this roadmap is the list of upcoming features we have planned. It is sorted by how close each one is: built and in testing, still in development, or further off.

These features are done, and we are testing them internally before anyone else gets them. If you want to help test them, contact us.

• Mobile apps (iOS and Android). Phone and tablet versions of the app are in testing. They matter most on an iPhone, where Safari, Chrome and Firefox cannot read a MIDI keyboard.
• Upload your own sheet music. This is for pieces you already hold a license for, and it needs a subscription.
• Improv training (blues and jazz).
• Sight reading training. A free sight-reading drill is already on the website.

These features are in some form of development, but none of them is complete yet.

• Pop & modern music licensing. A modern song almost always costs money to license, and the deals we are working on start with showtunes and some limited modern music.
• Review mode, so you can study without a piano.
• Classical lessons (ABRSM-esque). ABRSM is the UK exam board whose graded exams many classical students work through, and these lessons would follow a similar path.
• Online lessons, connecting tutors to students.
• Advanced metronome support. A basic metronome is already free on the site.

We hope to get to these ASAP. Promise.

But unless something changes, these features are further off than the two lists above.

• Acoustic piano support. An acoustic piano has no cable, so the app would have to guess which note you pressed from the sound. A MIDI keyboard tells it exactly.
• Additional instruments (guitar, drums, voice).
• MIDI 2.0. The newer version of the MIDI standard measures how hard you press a key in far finer steps than the MIDI 1.0 keyboards most people own.
