About this resource
Music Analysis grew out of three years of running KS5 song-analysis lessons. Every lesson follows the same shape: listen to a song, work out what's happening across each instrument layer, identify the chord motion, and connect it to the genre's wider conventions.
That structure is baked into the app. Each of the 12 song studies opens with a full audio playback synced to a section-by-section breakdown. Students can isolate instruments, slow down passages, and see chord changes annotated in real time. The chord-motion diagrams show major and minor patterns side by side — one of the most-requested features from teaching partners.
The 100+ instrument-technique audio examples are organised by instrument family (drums, bass, electric guitar, keyboards, vocals, synthesisers, horn sections) and demonstrate techniques like palm-muting, ghost notes, half-time vs. double-time grooves, and slap bass — the kind of vocabulary HSC and A-Level students need but rarely have a clean reference for.
