The Q-Chord is a fun and motivating digital instrument that strums like a guitar, plays chords like piano and melody like a keyboard. You do not have to know music or be musically inclined to use this instrument. A patient can instantly sound like a pro at the touch of a button. By using the basic features, the player will always sound ‘in tune’ and the ‘strum plate’ has been designed to avoid any ‘wrong notes’, which is very encouraging to someone with special needs!

Our Music Therapists can use the Q-Chord to stimulate interaction amongst the kids in a group session, each kid has to patiently wait their turn. The Q-Chord is not only used to teach patience, it is also used to increase coordination and stimulate the gross and fine motor skills of the user.

Like a video game, the Q-Chord has multiple skill levels and as the patients learns to play, features can be added as they progress. It has 84 different chord combinations, 100 instrument voices and fully orchestrated rhythms using the LCD display, all assignable to the 4 octave strum plate or melody keyboard.

Completely portable, the Q-Chord goes anywhere you want to have fun.
