My foundation is inner feel and I have and use a metronome to tighten up my rhythm. However when practicing I prefer a drum track, or some kind of instrument holding the bpm down. I really enjoy and have the most fun when playing along with songs..ex) James Brown or any funky tune, Thin lizzy - Boy are back in town, AC/DC etc
As a teenager, when I was learning piano at a music school, I absolutely needed a metronome right beside me. Then I quit piano lessons and didn't play any instrument for about 10 years, until I decided to try drums. Few months later I was playing on 2 bands and getting some lessons. I never needed the metronome to keep a reasonably tight pulse in any situation... Humans are strange.
do you feel like Bassonist and Notationist is teaching you how to play a computer keyboard instead of reading musical notation? do you struggle to progress because you injure your fingures every time you try? is your MIDI instrument collecting dust, jelaous of your keyboard? do you hate needing to use a QWERTY keyboard layout just because of these games?
I wrote this simple Windows console app that translates the input from your MIDI device into letters that the Bassonist and Notationist interpret as notes! (oh, the irony!) Enjoy!
how to use the app: - download, unzip anywhere - read readme.txt → edit appsettings.json - run MidiToLetters.exe, a console window should pop up
try sending notes from your MIDI instrument, there should be an output in the console, something like: MIDI 77 (F) → 'f' if this works, then just open the browser, go to tonegym and run the game. when finished just close the console window
hmm, interesting suggestion, I personally like smashing my mechanical keyboards space bar, but I will have a look what can be done, it shouldn't be difficult…
Vocal ranges aren't 'levels' that you progress through. A professional alto isn't an alto because they didn't work hard enough to become a soprano. That's their vocal range. You don't just decide to be something else, you get better at what you are.
