here 4 --- FREE SOFTWARE TO LEARNING to READ and PLAY in an INTEGRATED FUN WAY that I have collected and put together, most of them simple and user friendly
They can be used in conjunction with each other to enhance playing and learning in the following ways, amongst others:
* Transposing the solo parts of midi files ( Sax or trumpets and all
transposing instruments) enabling backings to piano flute and C instrument
on the midi files to be used by transposing instruments too.
* Printing sheet music from the 100s of freely available internet midi files
*Playing back midi files with Noteworthy player enabling you to hear see the full
parts , each note on the musical stave being highlighted in red on the stave
as it sounds.
* Learning Chords on keyboard or Guitar with chord software.
* Woodwind long note tone exercises in midi form to play along with accompaniments ( presntly just for flute and being transposed for other instruments) .
* Using the piano or orchestral or band accompainments to play along to
making practice a lot easier, including slowing down the music to make it
easier to play at first.
* More advanced skills like rearranging the origianal music files ( for instance
making the piano accompanying parts into a harp file or a xylophone or
strings )
