Stranger things have been known to happen, and it would be a win win situation for both sides. There must be a workable alternative, and perhaps all it would take would be a group of dedicated users like those on this forum and a dev willing to listen and try out the ideas which came out of such a think tank. I think that is probably at the root of certain UI decisions that both TH-U and the SessionBand apps reflect. I think that it is the iOS/iPadOS platform itself which creates limitations in these apps due to the limited screen size. I agree however that it might be a very good idea to use a totally separate app to input the actual song data, then save it in the required format. How are you going to do that in the present version of the SessionBand UI? For example it’s often necessary to have a chord appear slightly anticipated or late on the last beat of the bar. This is what is incredibly difficult, fiddly and time consuming using SessionBand. Although the HTML formatting may be simple, from my experience with iReal Pro albeit not on iOS it was one of being limited in terms of writing in timing syncopation, particularly across the bar. Respectfully, I don’t think that is such a good idea as it may seem. There are obviously some differences in the way ireal pro and SessionBand work, but it would not be a hard task for a programmer to code a feature that imports ireal pro format html songs into SessionBand, just ignoring parts that are for ireal pro specific features only. That is, you don't need ireal pro to write these ireal pro songs, you just write in html in any text editor and import to ireal pro. It's a simple format, written in html code, allowing users to quickly create and/or edit songs in any text editor, no need for any proprietary app. This is the format ireal pro uses to allow users to import entire libraries from user forums. There are hundreds, probably thousands, freely available. Much better, imo, would be for them to just add a feature to import songs that are written in ireal pro html format. But that won’t happen unless the devs start to really listen to feedback from their users and watch threads like this one.Įven if it had better editing facilities, it's ridiculous to require all song creation and editing to be done within the SessionBand app itself. These releases would be so good if only they were to revamp the UI and make the process of inputting chord changes and the drum patterns less tedious. This is one of the reasons why the iReapPro app is very useful, the practice exercises encourage you to practice chords and progressions in all 12 keys to become a more well rounded jazz pianist.įirst of all let’s look at how to download the jazz piano practice exercises using the iReal Pro and then also show you some additional features of the app which will help focus and improve your practice sessions. In the same way with minor keys, you will probably have a good understanding of the scales and chords in D minor but moving up a half step you may find it challenging to identify the same chords and scales in Eb Minor. Generally when we are learning jazz, we tend to repeat the easier key signatures such as C major, and then neglect the more challenging keys such as Gb Major. These progressions are essential components of the jazz language and so taking the time to learn and memorise them will greatly benefit your playing. It’s important to understand the theory covered in these tutorials.Ģ51s are the most common progression in jazz music so it’s extremely important that you can build and play 251s in all 12 keys. If you haven’t already, check out the lessons on the rootless major 251 progression and also the minor 251 progression. In this lesson we’re going to explore some rootless 251 practice exercises using the iRealPro App.
