Overview
The HD-200 Harmony Director makes it easy to demonstrate to your students how individual notes fit into complete chords, allowing you to teach your ensemble through example rather than words alone, and help your students and choirmates quickly develop the kind of harmonic understanding that usually takes many years of experience to develop.
As a result, the Harmony Director can help your ensemble progress from 'good' to 'outstanding'.
Unless using batteries, the HD-200 Harmony Director requires the PA-130 mains power adapter (not included).

Features
This comprehensive tool brings harmony training, rhythm training and ensemble timing together in one convenient device. It enables music educators to clearly demonstrate pure temperaments and for students to learn how to tune individual notes within chords, so that entire chords may be tuned. The HD-200 Harmony Director helps musicians understand how each part fits into the complete harmony of the ensemble. This level of understanding will help your ensemble move from good to outstanding.
A Japanese Secret
Have you ever heard a Japanese high school band or chorus? Ever wonder how they get such great blend and intonation? Almost all Japanese school bands use this special training tool which, until now, has only been available in Japan. The Harmony Director allows you to teach through examples rather than words alone, the kind of harmonic understanding that normally takes many years of experience to develop.
