Creator & author

Hi, I’m Rob.

I’m Rob. I enjoy creating free, useful resources that make everyday tasks a little easier. I hope you find something here that helps you and that you enjoy using.

Why I make these resources

I like the idea that a useful resource can make someone’s day a little simpler. Sometimes that means a clear explanation; sometimes it means a practical tool or a page you can print and use straight away.

That is why I created Piano Chord Library: a place for free resources to help with finding your way around piano notes, chords and scales. My aim is to make the information straightforward and the resources easy to use, so you can get on with what you came here to do.

I hope you find these resources helpful and enjoy using them. If something could be clearer, or you spot a problem, please let me know through the contact page. Feedback helps me make the site more useful.
