  The NASA Kepler mission has been continuously monitoring the same field of
the sky since the successful launch in March 2009, providing high-quality
stellar lightcurves that are excellent data for asteroseismology, far superior
to any other observations available at the present. In order to make a
meaningful analysis and interpretation of the asteroseismic data, accurate
fundamental parameters for the observed stars are needed. The currently
available parameters are quite uncertain as illustrated by e.g. Thygesen et al.
(A&A 543, A160, 2012), who found deviations as extreme as 2.0 dex in [Fe/H] and
log g, compared to catalogue values. Thus, additional follow-up observations
for these targets are needed in order to put firm limits on the parameter space
investigated by the asteroseismic modellers. Here, we propose a metod for
deriving accurate metallicities of main sequence and subgiant solar-like
oscillators from medium resolution spectra with a moderate S/N. The method
takes advantage of the additional constraints on the fundamental parameters,
available from asteroseismology and multi-color photometry. The approach
enables us to reduce the analysis overhead significantly when doing spectral
synthesis, which in turn will increases the efficiency of follow-up
observations.
