![]() ![]() I don't know how useful it would even be to have it on a phone screen anyway. The reason that the application doesn't have melodies is that it is purely a chord chart application exclusively. Adobe would be out of business immediately! Or even more pertinent, if you had to charge copyright if your application could view copywritten materials. That application likewise includes nothing 'out of the box' (if you'll excuse the pun), but there are ample community generated files that have melodies and chord changes to most of the realbooks. Band-in-a-box has a similar product but it includes the ability to perform melodies. The reason for that is the publication companies sent a cease and desist because they had titles of their songs built into the app.Now, the changes themselves have to be downloaded from a community maintained list as pointed out by others here. ![]() When the chords are in place, add rehearsal/form marks.It isn't a copyright issue as the application itself doesn't provide even chord changes (as it did when it first started a long, long time ago) for anything other than the blues and a few sample exercises. Take advantage of copy/paste when the music repeats the chords. It's tempting to type write in the chord chart but that doesn't work. Understand that your edit window is separate from the chord chart. Rather, select a template or duplicate a similar song to edit into your new song. Played the melody over the resulting backing trackĬhanged parameters (tempo, style, time signature…) which stimulated spontaneous artistic choices by adapting a piece on the fly.Īvoid starting with a blank file until you are more familiar with editing. Here's what we did.Įntered them into iRealPro which I shared with them. For example, I made an iRealPro track of the famous Bach Minuet for my students. It's just more fun to play with a groove which leads to longer practice sessions.īy the way, iRealPro is not just for jazzers. Increased confidence and more secure memory follows from understanding the structure and harmony of a piece as shown in the app independently from the written page. Bach to a rock beat kind of works.Ĭonnections can be made between music theory harmony and actual music by, for example, playing a piece mostly by memory but following along with the chords in the app. Rhythmically compelling contemporary styles can make historically important pieces seem more relevant to students e.g. So, it's a good remedy for bad "pause and fix" practice habits. Just as in real ensembles, backing tracks don't wait for stumbling musicians. Like a metronome, the automated tracks insist on a steady beat but the styles are much more inspiring for playing along. ![]() Keep in mind, however, that the unedited tracks found there can be made by anyone and so do not necessarily contain accurate chords for a given tune. Many more tunes in a variety of genres can be downloaded from a forum that is accessible from inside the app. The files are easily shared with students or bandmates in an iRealPro format (playable only in the app) or converted to mp3 or MIDI formats. So, if you are a piano player, you can turn down the piano track in order to better hear yourself. The mix can be adjusted to emphasize or deemphasize particular instruments. On any given tune, you can change the key, tempo, style, time signature… The library of tunes you build can be organized in the playlists that synch with all your devices. It comes with a collection of jazz exercises but you'll want to create your own custom tracks. Apple and Android smart phones, tablets, Mac computers… ![]()
