Playing music from your iPad or Android<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n

Hands-on workshops\u00a0for practising and performing musicians \u2013 or come along and discover what you’re missing!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Workshop\u00a01.\u00a0Using iReal Pro to import, edit and create chord charts and backing tracks<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

For instrumentalists and singers of of pop, rock, jazz, folk, … any who uses chord charts.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the first workshop, we\u2019ll work with iReal Pro (Android tablet, iPad, iPhone, Mac).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There are thousands of chord charts available free for iReal Pro. Once imported, the app will transpose to any key. Then, you can play from the chord chart.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t like those chord charts, you can change them or you can write your own chord charts.<\/span><\/div>\n

The app will play a backing track from that chord chart and you can play along.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can change the tempo to whatever you like and choose from some dozens of rhythms, e.g. rock, samba, gypsy jazz, bluegrass,\u00a0\u2026 .<\/span><\/p>\n

This is great for singers because it can help you to find your keys for songs, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll cover all aspects of this app and there will be\u00a0opportunity to play so please bring your instrument!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because this is a workshop, we will be limiting the number of attendees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Workshop\u00a02.\u00a0Playing from notation and managing a library of music books on your iPad<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
For instrumentalists and singers of all genres.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Musicians used to carry around books of notation and spend hours shuffling paper into folders for performances or trying to find the right charts during performances.<\/span><\/p>\n

No more! There are various apps that you can use to solve these problems.<\/p>\n

Your iPad can hold hundreds of books and thousands of pages of music notation. There are various ways in which those can be managed but some are MUCH easier than others!<\/p>\n

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll take you through the process of creating electronic charts from paper versions, importing them into the iPad, creating set-lists and managing large collections, e.g. Real Books.<\/p>\n

We’ll be using ForScore (iPad only) and iGigBook (Android and iPad).<\/p>\n

Now, you can carry the books on your device, find the right pieces quickly, organise them into performance\u00a0\u2018books\u2019 (not printed!) prior to the performance or quickly, on the fly, during a performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, at the performance, use an electronic page-turner to move through the notation.<\/span><\/div>\n
