MIDI Practice Tool
Starting this thread with paste from another reply that was of topic.
What about Sonar (Cakewalk) of Anvil Studio? I use them to create melody and harmony lines for choir practice. I sing along to the MIDI to learn my
part. I can slow it down, speed it up, even change keys. Cakewalk in particular produces a pretty good printed chart for each track.
It seems like they may be a good practice aid for trumpet too! Kinda, make your own \'music minus one\'. Anybody doing this?
Cheers,
Richard

I play along to midis all the time, I think it\'s a great way to subsitute when you don\'t have other live musicians to play along with. Another
great thing to get into is multitracking! I\'ve been doing this since I was in 10th grade. I think it\'s a great way to really understand how you
sound. Here is an example from that time period http://www.jonkratzer.com/flyingcircus.mp3 I didn\'t really discover the metronome function until a few years later, but it was a
great start to the development of my career.
Enjoy
Jon

I found the modern day replacement for the (M - 1) book and tape combo I used to use.
Check out http://www.pgmusic.com/wanttoplay/trumpet.htm
Anyone tried it?
Cheers!
