Band Toolbox is a set of essential tools for the new practicing musician. Tools include: Metronome Transposed Tuner Interactive Fingering Chart Dictionary of Musical Terms Transposition Toolbox Scale Practice The Metronome is very simple use. You can adjust the slider for tempo or choose from a list of common tempos. The Tuner displays the frequency and note you are trying to play along with your instruments frequency. Simply adjust your instrument so the two frequencies are close (+ or - 4 or less) The interactive fingering chart shows notes chromatically in each instruments range. Check your fingering by playing the note shown. The chart will turn green if you are correct. See something in your band music you don't understand? Search it in the dictionary to find out what it means. Play a note and the transposition tool will show you that transposed notes in Concert Pitch, Bb, Eb and F. Scale modes allows you to pick a scale and see each fingering chart as you play the scale. Note duration and scale size adjustable.
Good start!
This app is a useful tool for students to use while practicing at home. There are errors for some fingering charts however. I noticed that tubas b natural in the staff was given as 123 when it should only have been 12.
United StatesTuba fingerings
I really love this app and I know my kids will love it. I’m going to encourage them to utilize it. I’m a band director and also a tuba player so My only suggestion is to Add the correct primary and alternative fingerings for tuba. For example,Primary fingering for F below 1st line G should be no valves. 2nd line B through Db should be the same fingerings as baritone’s Fourth Line F and Ledger line B-Db. Other than that, it’s a great app.
United StatesIncredible resource for band students and teachers
I bought this app as a band director, wanting to have quick guide for fingering charts, transpositions, and a tuner. It has all of that in one spot, plus a metronome and dictionary of musical terminology. I would recommend this app for any band director and definitely for any band or orchestra student. Pop the phone up on the music stand and have the resources of a handful of books and charts at you fingertips.
United StatesFinally this app exists!
This has everything a band wind player needs to survive in an ensemble. I can’t wait to share this with my middle school kids, especially the ones that play transposing instruments. My French horns struggle so much with concert pitch, now they’ll be able to see it as they play. Metronome, tuner, terminology dictionary, fingering chart all in one. Great app!
United StatesGreat app, everything you need
Solid app, clean interface and intuitive to use. I’m a band director and the best thing for me is that you’ve got several key tools you need all in one place. Simple design and tons of functionality are turning this into my “go to” tool for rehearsals and lessons. My two biggest pros... (1) The metronome is straight ahead and not cluttered with things I don’t need (love the tempo markings associated with set tempos!). (2) Fingering chart with notes is crystal clear and provides a nice visual reference to show the student. Looking for a solid, all in one app full of extremely useful tools to have on your podium during rehearsal? Look no further, you found it!
United StatesGreat Tool!
Everything a student would need to help practice at home.
United StatesGreat for beginners
It’s pretty incredible that is has all note charts for some many instruments. When my daughter plays a new saxophone note, the picture turns green telling her that she is doing it right. The tuner confused her a little a first but I think she gets it now. Maybe some videos would be helpful?
