Professional Music Teacher's Testimonial
 "As a
teacher of music for the past 30
years, the need for an
aid or device
for the student to assist
them with transposing, learning scale and
chord construction, intervals, etc. has been more and more apparent. I believe
MasterKey is the most
comprehensive aid yet devised.
In teaching theory, most of which is done without the instrument at hand, it is
very difficult to think
instantly and know the I, IV and V chord of
whatever key is being discussed, and even more difficult to know the relative
minor chords in any key.
The same can be said for knowing the note
names in any nominated scale, major or minor.
With MasterKey in front of you, these things can be seen at a glance whilst the
teacher is talking, thus
making it comparatively simple to follow the
lesson.
MasterKey is something that can be used by anyone,
whether you are
doing a musicianship course for the sense of
achievement, or a 'serious' music student looking for maximum progress in your chosen career.
MasterKey has an added advantage, and that is that it is able to be used by
players of all instruments,
whether they be keyboard, brass, reed or
string.
Unlock your theoretical problems with your MasterKey . You'll never be
sorry."

A bit of history .. MasterKey's
inventor was having lessons when the subject of
transposition came up.
A twist of the mouth, a deep breath and a scratch of the
nose meant that here was something that had
to be dealt with!
At the next lesson he produced a prototype
transposer -
much to the
astonishment of his teacher and the
amazement of his fellow pupils. And as
transposition is a 'comparison' of scales, scales themselves (eight types),
followed by chords (also
eight types), were incorporated into
MasterKey's multiple functions.
Encouraged by his teacher Frank Holdforth,
and the response to his
appearance on "The Inventors" on Australian
ABC TV, he developed it into a fully professional, quality product, which, along
the way, was rewarded
with a medal at the International Inventions
Exhibition in Geneva.
Going 'straight'.
In designing MasterKey, he believed strongly in a 'straight'
design, where
all the information was right-way-up and easy to read.
The alternative
was a circular device, which would have been much cheaper to make, but such a design
means that a lot
of the information is always upside-down. He also
discovered
that adding
scales, chords, modes and transposition to a circular
design meant that
it was almost impossible to read!
He chose the straight design, and the significant investment in injection-moulding tools was made. The result,
using high-strength ABS material, is a quality tool that is very
easy to read, feels good, handles
easily and is tough and practical and simple to
use. (A small
touch: you'll like the ingenious way the slides are
prevented from coming out!)

Amazing tool. Great invention.

FAQ
Does MasterKey come with full instructions?
Yes, every feature of your MasterKey is explained, with examples of
key-changes, scales, modes and
chords.
MasterKey's instructions are available for you to read online. Click here
to
see them now.
Will I need to treat my MasterKey like a delicate
instrument?
No, MasterKey is made of tough ABS plastic and will last you for years.
Does MasterKey produce sounds?
NO! MasterKey works by visually demonstrating its various functions. Any
scales and chords/arpeggios that you
hear on this website are to help you
imagine what you could be doing with your instrument.
Why is MasterKey not 'digital'?
A digital MasterKey, or a computer program, could give the answers which
MasterKey gives. The
great difference is that with the solid, physical
MasterKey you can see what is happening when you transpose, you can see
the 'shape' of scales,
modes and chords. It's that visualisation, that
mental image, that will soon be part of you. When it is, you will know that you
have thoroughly grasped
the subject.
Is MasterKey portable?
Yes, very! MasterKey is 300mm (12") long and weighs
about 130 g ( 4½ oz).
It never needs batteries, and since it is not
a computer program, you will be able to use it anywhere.
Is MasterKey easy to read?
Yes! MasterKey's 'straight-line' style means that all the information is 'right way
up', and easy to follow.
Why is MasterKey 'straight', not 'round' ?
