Set the mood — jazz history and sub-genres, artists and instruments, listening for focus and relaxation, and the tools every music lover needs.

Jazz & Music Tools
Free tools for every player and listener — BPM tap tempo calculator, note duration calculator, scale & mode finder, jazz chord progression generator, circle of fifths explorer, and a jazz standards key & tempo guide.
BPM Tap Tempo Calculator
Tap along with any track to find its tempo in beats per minute, averaged over your last taps, with the matching Italian tempo marking from Largo to Prestissimo
Note Duration Calculator
Enter a tempo to get the length of every note value in milliseconds and seconds — whole to thirty-second, dotted and triplet — plus the tempo-synced delay and reverb times
Scale & Mode Finder
Pick a root and a scale or mode — major, the three minors, all seven modes, blues and bebop dominant — for its correctly-spelled notes and scale-degree intervals
Jazz Chord Progression Generator
Choose a key and a progression — ii–V–I, rhythm changes, turnaround, 12-bar jazz blues, minor ii–V–i, or Coltrane changes — for the chord symbols and diatonic seventh chords
Circle of Fifths Explorer
Select a key to see its signature (sharps or flats and which notes), its relative minor, and its closely-related keys — the subdominant and dominant plus their relatives
Jazz Standards Key & Tempo Guide
A filterable reference of well-known jazz standards with their common key and typical feel and tempo — from ballads and medium swing to up-tempo, Latin, blues and jazz waltz
Museum of Jazz & Sound
Wander an immersive museum of the music that shaped a century — the legends who defined jazz alongside the instruments that give it voice, the styles and eras from ragtime and big bands to bebop and hard bop, and the clubs, cities, and records that make up the jazz world, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the stories behind the sound: where it came from, who carried it, and why it still moves us.

Fresh guides on jazz history and its sub-genres, the artists and instruments behind the sound, and music theory, plus practical tips for listening with focus, unwinding to a record, and getting more from every tune.
