Emotions

Each emotion has two styles: Flow (smooth, familiar) and Color (expressive, cinematic). Start with Step 1.

EmotionalChords is a beginner-friendly piano practice tool. Pick a feeling, hear it, then play it step by step — no sheet music and no music theory required.

Good for questions like: “How do I play sadness on piano?” or “What chords sound calm?”
