TEACHERS LOUNGE - Music Instruction and iReal pro

Thank you all so much for this great advice! I’m also glad to know I’m not the only cellist that also plays Jazz!

I do not play cello myself, but love listening to cello. (Just this week I have been listening to Yo Yo Ma's Bach Trio CD (with mandolin and bass)).
The ECM label often has cellists in improvisational or jazz settings (besides their classical series), for example David Darling, Anja Lechner, David Holland.
A few other names are Eric Friedlander, Abdul Wadud, Matt Brubeck and you will come across many others.
Also Ray Brown's album Jazz Cello might be of interest (bass player with Oscar Peterson).

Thank you from Bob and myself, we are glad something here has helped you.
Feel free to keep in touch at the forum or ask more questions

Willing to share exported files.

I am looking for other teachers or users who have converted native the iRP files to PDF or JPG and or MIDI, so they can be easily used in lesson context by printing or, dumped in a tab editor as MIDI (TEF or GP)

Having immediate access to the PDF or JPG would circumvent the need to export them when you need one. If you need to edit or transpose one, then just open native file and make your changes, but in many cases, have the chart in "native key" would be fine.

email me at roiwebsites@gmail.com if you want to swap files.

You might like to select a playlist or create one, then export a complete multipaged PDF of the songs within. A suitable PDF app would then be able to export a single page(s) ready for use as required.

OK - thanks. I'd like to see some kind of PDF sharing platform. I know that they are not editable, but they are quick to access/share/distribute/print to other people and my students in that format.

Yes, you can use iRp to tailor a specific exercise for a student, have iRp generate a pdf and send the student home with a paper chord chart.

Or... (and) since *everyone* now probably has access to a "smart-device" of some sort, encourage your students to use iRp to download charts you've made specifically for them from your "sandbox" and use them in the app.
The iRp player beats the socks off a metronome.
Charts are instantly transposable.
The player's practice feature can easily and seamlessly slowly speed up a looped section (or entire chart) during practice.

The list (and the beat) goes on...

Hi everybody.

I am a long time user of iReal Pro and I often use iReal Pro songs as backing tracks when recording in Logic Pro.

Last week, I uploaded an improvised guitar solo over rhythm changes video to YouTube using this process. This week's YouTube video video is a walkthrough demonstrating how I do this. I have also created a blog post walkthrough for those who prefer reading rather than watching. Hopefully the content will be helpful to other iReal Pro users and will expand your creative possibilities.

Whole Tone Practice.

In case you don't know, there's only two whole tone scales, since you are either starting on C or C#.

A few more teaching songs I made.

Three songs with slower moving chord changes.

Digging into Chords 1 - Brian Streckfus

Digging into Chords 2 - Brian Streckfus

Digging into Chords 3 - Brian Streckfus


Then a couple of more difficult songs that work on the diminished scales (Whole Half Scale) and chords. The whole half scale in these two songs is:
C C# D# E F# G A A# C
Which to my ears, works throughout the whole song.

It was a fun experience because it lead to bizarre chords progressions rather quickly.
