Locking the major scale with no dead keys, Arpeggion isn’t just a scale exercise — it’s a playable instrument. Every key on your computer belongs to the C major scale, so you can improvise melodies, build chords with simple diagonal shapes, and run the scale itself without hitting wrong notes. It’s a quick way to hear, see, and feel how the C major scale works in real music.
This major scale arpeggion is a customization of our powerful generic online piano inheriting all its powerful functionality described on the homepage.
Major Scale Arpeggion as a resource for teachers
Teach chords and scales the easy way
Arpeggion turns the computer keyboard into a scale-safe virtual piano.- Every note fits the chosen scale → no wrong notes.
- Chords and arpeggios fall under the fingers with simple diagonal patterns.
- One link per scale/mode → easy to share with your class or add to online lessons.
How teachers can use Arpeggion
- Major & natural minor scales practice: Set the root to any key and have students play the scale using the Tab row. They’ll hear and feel the scale pattern without the distraction of accidentals.
- Chord building made simple: Show students how diagonals create triads (major, minor, diminished). They can instantly play C–E–G or A–C–E without stretching or hunting for the right notes.
- Explore modes: Switch the mode selector and the keyboard re-anchors to Dorian, Lydian, Mixolydian, and more. Students can improvise safely and compare how each mode changes the “mood” of the music.
