Tonal Tools is several things: an app, a book and a website with resources.

A hands-on approach to creative keyboard playing and teaching

Tonal Tools blends old and contemporary approaches to tonal music. Nine ‘components’ serve as keys to a more aural, creative and tangible approach in any tonal idiom from the very start.

• Interweave Tonal Tools with your usual practicing habits or teaching methods.
• Develop according to your own or your pupil’s pace and needs.
• Span the baroque, classical, romantic, jazz and pop repertoire using common improvisational and compositional principles.

Expect

• a better integration of musical understanding and instrumental skill
• a more reliable memory and better sight-reading ability
• a broadened musical imagination
• enhanced expressiveness
• more joy in playing tonal music.
