You can also use AudioBus or Inter-App Audio Apps to send the accompaniment to another program. And for the audio, you can send it in an audio format or in MIDI which means that you can pull it into another program on your computer or device. The sheet music or the audio can both be sent. The developers have made it so that these can be sent as something that someone else can use regardless of whether or not they have the app. You can share these charts with your students and others either through the forums or by emailing the charts. I put some Aebersold studies in because I can change the tempo and change the key that it starts in so I’m not always memorizing the same chord change order from the Aebersold recordings. You can quickly put in the changes to a chart for your own practice or to share with your students. There are quite a few things in this app that can help you as an educator or a collaborator. One thing that isn’t there but that I’d love to see is an option to show all of the different chords in a chart at once since I usually start my practice by going one by one individually through all of the chords and scales that the piece might use before I ever start playback. Some developers seem to forget that there are also bass instrumentalists using their apps. A big Thank You to the developers for also making these available in bass clef. These then show up from measure to measure while the piece is playing. If you tap on that, it will show you other chords and scales that would also fit and allow you to choose a different one for playback. If you tap and hold on a measure, it will show you a chord and scale that is musically viable in that spot. It allows you to see the chord and scale for each chord in the sheet as you play. This used to be an in-app purchase but is now standard. One of my favorite things is the Chord Scales. Occasionally there will be a chord or two that may not sound right to you but that is easily remedied as once you have downloaded a piece, you can duplicate it and edit it as well.Ĭurrently the only extra to buy. The forum has user-made charts that others have shared. To add new charts, you’ll either need to go to the in-app Forum and find some to download or input some yourself. When you first open up iRealPro, it will have a few exercises in it. I can also input the Jamey Aebersold exercises that I work on in iRealPro to enhance practicing those as well. iReal Pro shows me the chord changes and with an extra purchase, the standard chords and scales that go along with those. Anytune lets me slow down and play along with a recording. I usually choose the same tune to practice in both apps so that I am thinking about the same piece but in different ways. iReal Pro is the other side of that coin for me. I use a couple of apps to try and broaden my jazz horizons. Maybe even composing in it at some point. Despite the fact that I play bassoon, I listen to a lot of jazz and have always wanted to get better at playing it. It’s from the same people who made Drum School and has the same quality and attention to detail that really helps a practicing musician become better.
