If you think of it,sax players (and any other musicians,for that matter) need a lot of accessories when practicing. You need your horn,of course,but you also need a metronome,a tuner,a robust music stand,one or more exercises books,the RealBook or other music scores. To practice improvisation you also need a CD or MP3 player with some Aebersold play-along records. If you study harmony you surely need a piano or at least a keyword where you can play chords. It’s a lot of stuff to carry around,uh? The good news is that today all you need is an iPhone or an iPod Touch,or an iPad if you like larger and more screens. Well,you still need your saxophone,but nothing other than that! Metronome If you search for “metronome”in the App Store you get about 350 matches,so it’s easy to pick up that one that fits your needs. Some of these matches are programs that do a lot more than just keeping the time,but even not counting them you still have a couple hundred apps to choose from. All those that I have tried out are accurate enough for training purposes. If you just need a “plain”metronome there is no point in spending your money,because most free metronome apps are enough accurate and complete. I especially like the Steinway Metronome,because of its nice “wooden”interface. It supports most common time signatures and has a handy visual indicator that doesn’t force you to connect your iPhone to a loudspeaker to make its click audible when playing your horn. There are many other apps that offer fancy variations on the basic metronome job,for example progressive changes towards faster or slower tempo. I am not interested in these variations,because they defy the main goal of a metronome. However,they are in the store,if you need this and other additional features. For example,you might invest 0.99$ for the Ultimate Metronome,which additionally supports weird time signatures,different sounds for each click,custom/compound time signatures inside a single song,and more. Another interesting metronome app (also at 0.99$) is PolyRhythm,which helps you work with compound polyrythms,such as 7-over-2 or 11-over-3. This is more geared towards drummers,but mastering this sort of complex rythms can be useful to any musicians. Its author Wolfram Winkel has also created a reduced version of this software that runs inside any browser,so you can have an idea of how the apps works before purchasing it. (The main difference between the iPhone app and the browser-based app is that the latter doesn’t let you specify the exact BPM value. As for most music apps,remember to disable auto-lock when working with metronomes,else you’ll spend most of your time unlocking the screen. Tuner The category of tuners is nearly as crowded as the category of metronome apps and,like for metronomes,you can find a tuner inside many popular apps,especially apps for guitarists such as AmpliTube,AmpKit,and iShred Live. As for metronomes,you can save your money and get a free tuner. For my setup I chose n-Track Tuner. There isn’t much to say about it,except that it works well and that only a few years ago I spent about 30$ only to get a “real”chromatic tuner that does the same thing and that I never carried around because I had no room in my sax case. Ear Training There are many iOS apps that can help you develop the ability to recognize individual notes or even chords. Several free apps cover the basics (e.g. simple intervals),but you might need to spend a few bucks for a complete ear training course. It’s a good way to spend your money,though. The good news is that all commercial apps also offer a free version that lets you try before you purchase. The three apps that you should try are Karajan at $14.99 (or its free version Karajan Beginner),Ear Training at $14.99 (or the free Ear Training Lite),and Ear Trainer at $5.99 (or Ear Trainer Lite for free). Play By Ear offers a different and interesting approach to ear training. In this case,instead of touching the screen to indicate your guess,you just play the note on your instrument. Last but not the least,it is absolutely free! Tempo/pitch changers If you are transcribing,studying,or practicing a solo you badly need a player that can slow down a song without changing its pitch,or maybe by changing the pitch so that all notes are in a more comfortable key. In the good old days,when records were made of vinyl,it was possible to play a song at half velocity (and lower the pitch by an octave,more or less),by playing the LP at 16 r.p.m. This is how I learned by first solos by Bird or Coltrane,but luckly there are better means today. In my opinion,the most versatile app in this are is Slow Down Music Player,that supports importing from the iPod library,the ability to bookmark a point and to loop over a section of a song,and to share individual phrases via email. Best of all,its absolutely free! It’s only limitation is that it doesn’t work with DRM-protected songs,becase they can’t be imported from the iPod library (a limitation that is common to all apps of this type,though). In the App Store you can find other programs with similar features,though. For example,you may want to try Slow Notes Music Player,which has a better user interface and is free as well. Score Readers If you own an iPad you can finally leave all your Real Books at home! In fact,there are several great apps that allow you to browse music scores in PDF format. For starters,any PDF reader can work as a music score browser,for example the great GoodReader,which also supports annotations and the ability to display two pages in landscape mode. For example,I use GoodReader to store the PDF version of my exercise books. However,there are a few apps that fit the specific needs of musicians much better than generic PDF readers. The two apps that I regularly use are forScore and forScore Both are available on the iPad only,because it would make little sense to view a score on the iPhone’s tiny screen. At $4.99 forScore is the less expensive of the two,and includes virtually any feature you may desire,including importing from iTunes or Dropbox,bookmarks,the ability to search for title,genre,composers,etc.,annotations,zoom,landscape support,and page cropping (so that you can discard large margins and make better use of iPad screen estate). It comes with an integrated metronome,a tuner,the ability to automatically turn pages (even half pages) or link two portions of a score (great for repetitions,codas,etc.),score sharing via Bluetooth,a piano keyword,output to an external monitor,support for AirTurn pedal (for hands-free operations),and more. iGigBook costs three times more ($14.99) than forScore,however if you are a jazz musician the extra money might be well spent. The main iGigBook feature,in fact,is the index of about 60 fake books,including all the most popular ones (e.g. all Real Books editions,including their Bb end Eb variants). This means that –if you have the PDF version of one or more such books –you can find all the versions of a given song in a few seconds. iGigBook includes many other interesting features,such as chord changes (no themes) for 1200+ popular jazz standards,that can be transposed to any key,and the ability to build a PDF book of selected stored (quite useful to hand out printouts to your fellow musicians before a rehersal). As for forScore,you can point at repeats,D.S.,D.C. so that iGigBook can turn pages for you,and in my opinion iGigBook is slightly better in how you can organize your score lists. The authors also offer a separate iPhone app,named iGigBook Pager,which allows you to wirelessly turn pages on the iPad,a great feature if you are display the score on an external monitor. On the other hand,iGigBook doesn’t support half-page turns,doesn’t include a tuner,doesn’t support sharing via Bluetooth or DropBox,just to name a few of its current limitations. To recap,as of this writing forScore and iGigBook apps aren’t perfectly equivalent. For this reason,you should carefully compare their features before you pick your choice. Or maybe buy both of them and use one or the other depending on the circumstances,as I did. Play Alongs In this area there is only one app that you should absolutely have:iReal b. This app has been in the store for at least a couple years and it’s updated and extended on a regular basis. When it started it just offered a “chord-only”version of the Real Book (the melodies could not be included for copyright restrictions),with the added ability to transpose it automatically to any key and to account for Eb,Bb,F,and G transposing instruments. Great for all wind instruments. Some time later the author added a few in-app purchases (for jazz,pop,and latin styles) that allow you instantly generate the accompaniment for any song in the archive,using the style and the tempo you like most (see left image below). Thanks to this great feature not only can you practice on Giant Steps at a slowed down tempo,you can even try changing the style,and maybe play Donna Lee with rock or latin flavor. The newest releases of iReal b come with no songs,but you can easily download 1300+ chord changes or enter your own (see right image below). On the authors website you can find several tutorial videos that teach you how to leverage the many features of this great software. iReal is priced at $7.99,and the jazz,pop,and latin style packs cost $5.99,$4.99,and $3.99 respectively,so be prepared to spend about $23 for the entire suite. It’s much more than the typical iOS app,but it’s absolutely worth it. It’s like owning the entire Aebersold series in your pocket:the computer-generated accompaniment can’t compete with the great musicians that play on Aebersold records,but the result is absolutely first class and can keep you busy for years and years of practicing. Even if you aren’t interested in the play-along feature,iReal b is still a must-have even just for its repository of chord changes. I never go to a jam sesssion without my iPhone now.

Má cheapann tú ar sé, is gá imreoirí sax (agus aon ceoltóirí eile, ar an ní sin) a lán de na gabhálais nuair a chleachtadh. Ní mór duit do adharc, ar ndóigh, ach ní mór duit freisin metronome, a tuner, seastán ceol láidir, cleachtaí leabhair amháin nó níos mó, an RealBook nó scóir cheoil eile. Tobchumadh a chleachtadh is gá duit chomh maith le CD nó seinnteoir MP3 le roinnt Aebersold taifid imirt-chomh maith. Má tá tú staidéar dul gá duit surely pianó nó ar a laghad eochairfhocal áit ar féidir leat a imirt chords. Tá sé a lán de na rudaí a dhéanamh timpeall, uh? Is é an dea-scéal go bhfuil an lá atá inniu ann go léir is gá duit iPhone nó iPod Touch, nó iPad más mian leat scáileáin níos mó agus níos mó. Bhuel, caithfidh tú fós do saxophone, ach rud ar bith eile seachas sin! Metronome Má tá tú ag cuardach a dhéanamh ar "metronome" sa App Store a fhaigheann tú thart ar 350 cluichí, mar sin tá sé éasca a phiocadh suas go ceann a oireann do do riachtanais. Tá cuid de na cluichí cláir a dhéanamh ar a lán níos mó ná díreach a choinneáil ar an am, ach fiú ní comhaireamh acu go bhfuil tú fós cúpla céad apps a roghnú as. Siúd go léir go bhfuil mé triail as go cruinn go leor chun críocha oiliúna. Más gá duit ach "plain" metronome nach bhfuil aon phointe i ag caitheamh do chuid airgid, mar go bhfuil an chuid is mó apps metronome saor in aisce go leor cruinn agus iomlán. Is maith liom go háirithe an Méadranóm Steinway , mar gheall ar a deas "adhmaid" comhéadan. Tacaíonn sé sínithe ama is coitianta agus tá táscaire amhairc handy nach bhfeidhm agat chun ceangal do iPhone le callaire a dhéanamh ar a cliceáil inchloiste nuair a imirt ar do adharc. Tá go apps go leor eile a thairiscint éagsúlachtaí mhaisiúil ar an bpost bunúsach méadranóm, mar shampla athruithe ar comhleanúnach i dtreo níos tapúla nó níos moille luas. Níl mé suim i na héagsúlachtaí, toisc go defy siad an sprioc is mó de metronome. Mar sin féin, tá siad sa siopa, más gá duit seo agus gnéithe breise eile. Mar shampla, d'fhéadfá a infheistiú 0.99 $ don Méadranóm deiridh , a thacaíonn chomh sínithe aisteach am, fuaimeanna éagsúla do gach cliceáil, saincheaptha / sínithe ama cumaisc taobh istigh de amhrán amháin, agus níos mó. Tá app eile suimiúil metronome (ag 0.99 $) PolyRhythm , rud a chabhraíonn tú ag obair le polyrythms cumaisc, ar nós 7-thar-2 nó 11-thar-3. Tá sé seo níos mó dírithe ar drumadóirí, ach is féidir máistreacht an saghas rythms casta a bheith úsáideach d'aon ceoltóirí. A údar Wolfram Winkel chruthaigh chomh maith le leagan laghdaithe de na bogearraí seo a ritheann taobh istigh le haon bhrabhsálaí, ionas gur féidir leat a bheith ag smaoineamh ar conas a oibríonn an apps roimh é a cheannach. (Is é an difríocht is mó idir an iPhone app agus an app brabhsálaí-bhunaithe nach bhfuil an dara ceann lig tú a shonrú ar an luach BPM cruinn. Mar chuid is mó apps ceol, cuimhnigh a chur ar ceal auto-glas iad ag obair le Méadranóim, eile beidh tú a chaitheamh an chuid is mó de do chuid ama dhíghlasáil an scáileán. Tuner Is é an catagóir de tuners beagnach chomh plódaithe is an gcatagóir na apps metronome agus, cosúil le haghaidh Méadranóim, is féidir leat teacht ar tuner taobh istigh apps tóir go leor, apps go háirithe do giotáraithe nós AmpliTube, AmpKit, agus iShred Beo. Mar do Méadranóim, is féidir leat a shábháil ar do airgead agus a fháil ar tuner saor in aisce. Do mo thus roghnaigh mé n-Track Tuner . Tá i bhfad ní a rá faoi, ach amháin go n-oibríonn sé go maith agus go bhfuil ach cúpla bliain ó shin chaith mé thart ar 30 $ amháin a fháil ar "ceart" tuner chromatic a dhéanann an rud céanna agus ní a rinne mé thart mar go raibh mé aon seomra i mo chás sax. Oiliúint Cluas Tá go leor apps iOS gur féidir cabhrú leat a fhorbairt ar an gcumas a aithint nótaí aonair nó fiú chords. Chlúdach roinnt apps saor in aisce an Basics (eatraimh eg simplí), ach d'fhéadfadh gá duit a chaitheamh cúpla bucks do chúrsa oiliúna cluas iomlán. Tá sé ar bhealach maith a chaitheamh do chuid airgid, cé. Is é an dea-scéal go thairiscint do gach apps tráchtála chomh maith le leagan saor in aisce a ligeann duit iarracht roimh cheannach agat. Is iad na trí apps gur chóir duit iarracht Karajan ag $ 14.99 (nó a leagan saor in aisce Karajan bunleibhéal ), Oiliúint Cluas ag $ 14.99 (nó an saor in aisce Cluas Oiliúna Lite ), agus Traenálaí Cluas ag $ 5.99 (nó Cluas Traenálaí Lite saor in aisce). Seinn Trí Cluas Cuireann cur chuige difriúil agus suimiúil ar oiliúint chluas. Sa chás seo, in ionad íor na scáileán chun do buille faoi thuairim, tá tú ag imirt ach an nóta ar do ionstraim. Last ach ní a laghad, tá sé fíor saor in aisce! Changers tempo / páirc Má tá tú ag transcribing, ag déanamh staidéir, nó ag cleachtadh a aonair de dhíth ort go holc imreoir is féidir a mall síos amhrán gan athrú a pháirc, nó b'fhéidir trí athrú a dhéanamh ar an pháirc ionas go bhfuil gach nótaí i eochair níos compordaí. Sa lá go maith d'aois, nuair a bhí taifid déanta as vinil, bhí sé indéanta a imirt amhrán ag leath treoluas (agus níos ísle ar an pháirc ag ochtach, níos mó nó níos lú), ag seinm an LP ag 16 RPM Seo é an chaoi a d'fhoghlaim mé faoi an chéad solos ag Bird nó Coltrane, ach luckly tá modhanna níos fearr lá atá inniu ann. I mo thuairim, is é an app is versatile i iad seo Mall Dún Music Player , a tacaíonn allmhairiú ón leabharlann iPod, an cumas chun leabharmharc pointe agus chun lúb thar alt d'amhrán, agus a roinnt frásaí aonair tríd an ríomhphost. Is fearr ar fad, ar a saor in aisce go hiomlán! Tá sé ach teorann nach bhfuil sé ag obair le amhráin DRM-cosanta, becase ní féidir iad a allmhairiú ó leabharlann iPod (a teorann atá coiteann do gach apps den chineál seo, áfach). Sa an App Store féidir leat teacht ar chláir eile le gnéithe den chineál céanna, cé. Mar shampla, b'fhéidir gur mhaith leat chun iarracht a Mall Nótaí Music Player , a bhfuil comhéadan úsáideora níos fearr agus is saor in aisce chomh maith. Léitheoirí Scór Má tá tú féin ar iPad is féidir leat saoire ar deireadh gach do Leabhair Estate sa bhaile! Go deimhin, tá apps mór roinnt a ligfidh tú chun brabhsáil scóir cheoil i bhformáid PDF. Chun starters, is féidir aon léitheoir PDF ag obair mar bhrabhsálaí scór ceoil, mar shampla an iontach GoodReader , a thacaíonn freisin nótaí agus an cumas chun dhá leathanach i mód tírdhreacha a thaispeáint. Mar shampla, a úsáid mé GoodReader a stóráil an leagan PDF de mo leabhair a fheidhmiú. Mar sin féin, tá apps roinnt go cuí ar riachtanais shonracha na ceoltóirí bhfad níos fearr ná léitheoirí PDF cineálach. Is iad an dá apps go n-úsáideann mé go rialta forScore agus forScore Tá an dá ar fáil ar an iPad amháin, toisc go mbeadh sé a dhéanamh beag a ciall chun féachaint ar scór ar an scáileán beag bídeach an iPhone. Ag 4.99 $ forScore é an níos saoire an dá, agus folaíonn sé beagnach aon ghné féidir mian leat, lena n-áirítear allmhairiú ó iTunes nó Dropbox, leabharmharcanna, an cumas chun cuardach a dhéanamh le haghaidh teidil, seánra, cumadóirí, etc, Anótálachaán, tacaíocht súmáil, tírdhreach, agus leathanach cropping (ionas gur féidir leat a shábháil corrlaigh mór agus úsáid níos fearr ar eastát scáileán iPad). Tagann sé le metronome comhtháite, a tuner, an cumas chun dul go huathoibríoch leathanaigh (leathanaigh leath fiú) nó ar an nasc dhá sciar scór (iontach do repetitions, codas, etc.), Scór roinnt via Bluetooth, eochairfhocal pianó, aschur a an monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar seachtrach, tacaíocht a thabhairt do AirTurn gcos (le haghaidh oibríochtaí lámha-saor in aisce), agus níos mó. iGigBook costais trí huaire níos mó ($ 14.99) ná forScore, áfach, má tá tú ceoltóir snagcheol fhéadfadh an t-airgead breise a chaitheamh go maith. An ghné is mó iGigBook, i ndáiríre, is é an t-innéacs de thart ar 60 leabhar falsa , lena n-áirítear na cinn is coitianta (m.sh. gach eagrán Leabhair Estate, lena n-áirítear a n-Bb deireadh Eb leaganacha). Ciallaíonn sé seo go-má tá tú an leagan PDF de cheann amháin nó níos mó leabhair sórt sin is féidir go mbeadh tú teacht ar na leaganacha den amhrán a tugadh i cúpla soicind. Áirítear iGigBook go leor gnéithe eile suimiúil, ar nós athruithe corda (aon téamaí) le haghaidh 1200+ caighdeáin snagcheol tóir, ar féidir iad a thrasuí le haon eochair, agus an cumas a thógáil leabhar PDF de roghnaithe stóráilte (úsáideach go leor chun lámh amach asphriontaí le do ceoltóirí eile os comhair rehersal). Mar do forScore, is féidir leat pointe ag athchraoltaí, DS, DC ionas gur féidir iGigBook dul leathanaigh ar do shon, agus i mo thuairim go bhfuil iGigBook beagán níos fearr i conas is féidir leat a eagrú do liostaí scór. Cuireann na húdair chomh maith le app iPhone ar leith, atá ainmnithe iGigBook Glaoire , a ligeann duit dul gan sreang leathanaigh ar an iPad, gné iontach má tá tú a thaispeáint ar an scór ar monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar seachtrach. Ar an láimh eile, ní chuireann iGigBook tacú casadh leath-leathanach, ní fholaíonn tuner, Ní thacaíonn roinnt via Bluetooth nó DropBox, ach a ainm a lua ar a teorainneacha atá ann faoi láthair. Chun recap, mar scríbhneoireachta seo forScore agus nach bhfuil apps iGigBook breá coibhéiseacha a ghlacadh. Ar an gcúis sin, ba chóir duit a chur i gcomparáid go cúramach a n-gnéithe sula roghnaigh tú do rogha. Nó a cheannach b'fhéidir an mbeirt acu agus a úsáid ceann amháin nó an duine eile ag brath ar na cúinsí, mar a rinne mé. Seinn alongs Sa réimse seo, níl ach amháin app gur chóir duit a bheith go hiomlán: iReal b . Tá an app a bhí sa siopa ar feadh ar a laghad cúpla bliain agus é a nuashonrú agus a leathnú ar bhonn rialta. Nuair a thosaigh sé thairg sé ach "corda-amháin" leagan den Estate Leabhar (nach bhféadfaí na séiseanna a chur san áireamh le haghaidh srianta cóipchirt), a bhfuil an cumas a leanas le thrasuí go huathoibríoch le haon eochair agus cuntas a Eb, Bb, F, agus G-ionstraimí a thrasuíonn. Great do gach ionstraim gaoithe. Tamall ina dhiaidh sin an t-údar a leanas cúpla ceannacháin i-app (do snagcheol, pop, agus stíleanna latin) a chuireann ar chumas leat a ghiniúint láithreach an tionlacan le haghaidh aon amhrán sa chartlann, ag baint úsáide as an stíl agus an luas is mian leat an chuid is mó (féach íomhá ar chlé thíos ). A bhuíochas leis an ghné seo mór, ní hamháin féidir leat a chleachtadh ar Céimeanna Giant ag luas moill síos, is féidir leat triail fiú athrú ar an stíl, agus b'fhéidir imirt Donna Lee le carraig nó latin blas. Leis an scaoileadh is nua iReal b teacht le aon amhrán, ach is féidir leat a íoslódáil go héasca 1300+ hathruithe corda nó cuir isteach do chuid féin (féach an íomhá ar dheis thíos). Ar an suíomh gréasáin húdair is féidir leat teacht ar roinnt físeáin teagaisc tú ag múineadh conas a ghiaráil na gnéithe go leor de seo bogearraí iontach. iReal bhfuil praghas ag $ 7.99, agus an snagcheol, pop, agus pacáistí stíl latin costas $ 5.99, 4.99 $, agus $ 3.99 faoi seach, a ullmhú mar sin a chaitheamh faoi $ 23 do an tsraith ar fad. Tá sé i bhfad níos mó ná an tipiciúil iOS app, ach tá sé go hiomlán fiú é. Tá sé cosúil le húinéir ar an tsraith ar fad Aebersold i do phóca: Ní féidir an tionlacan ríomhaire a ghintear san iomaíocht leis na ceoltóirí mór a imirt ar thaifid Aebersold, ach tá an toradh fíor den chéad scoth agus is féidir a choinneáil gnóthach tú ar feadh blianta agus blianta de chleachtadh. Fiú mura bhfuil suim agat sa dráma-feadh gné seo leat, tá iReal b fós ní mór-a bheith fiú amháin le haghaidh a stór na n-athruithe corda. Mé riamh dul go dtí sesssion subh gan mo iPhone anois.
