Chapin, SC - Contact Plus Corporation has recently released Trumpet Pro and Trumpet Pro Lite for the Iphone and Ipod Touch. Trumpet Pro was designed to help all levels of trumpet players master the craft of playing the trumpet. Trumpet Pro enables trumpet players to master scales, intervals, chromatic exercises and difficult music passages such as Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and the head to Donna Lee by Miles Davis made popular by Charlie Parker. Trumpet Pro is a fingering practice app therefore the user has no need to tilt or blow into the iPhone to make sounds.

 

A music staff is displayed above three valve buttons. The music plays through the iPhone or iPod Touch speaker while the note is highlighted. As the notes are played, the correct fingering is also highlighted on the valve similar to a player-piano. The user will see immediate feedback on the screen if the incorrect valve combination is pressed. Points are awarded for accuracy when the correct valve combinations are pressed. The tempo can be adjusted on the fly - slow for beginners and fast for advanced players.

 

Users can modify all of the notes and exercises, change the song title, key signature and chord notations over each measure. The songs can be shared via email and the web. For example, a trumpet teacher can design his own music exercises and post them on his blog or email them to his students. The students in turn can respond via email with their score and total time spent on the exercise. The ability to customize the alternate fingerings is available which is a very important aspect for advanced players.

 

Feature List:

* Alternate Fingerings

* Cumulative scores for each song/exercise

* Favorite list of songs for focused practice

* Transpose up or down while practicing - great for learning and practicing jazz links

* Slow tempo down to 20 beats per minute for beginners
