Thank You iReal pro

[pdxdjazz]

The Beat goes on!
Now more than 145,000 Forum members along with many more "guests" viewing and downloading iReal pro charts all the time.

iReal pro is all about chart sharing. I am thankful for all who share their charts in the forums. By comparing different versions of the same song I often get new (to me) musical ideas. The iRp player makes it easy.

I am thankful for the the music teachers, instructors and mentors who have incorporated iReal pro into their programs and practice. Using iReal pro chord charts focuses on "the changes", chord progressions that provide the necessary framework for musical notes/melodies. Reading a melody line note by note will play a song. A single chord progression will play many songs (eg. I, vi, IV, V). There are many helpful posts in the forums that help demystify the secret language musicians use.

I believe that most folks, most of the time are doing the best they can. I am thankful for our members whose posts are intended to help others in their musical journeys.

I remain thankful for iReal pro which continues to make my musical life better. I hope you feel the same

Today in the US we again celebrate the annual Thanksgiving holiday.

As the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, I am especially thankful to have iReal pro available as my music partner during this painful time of separation and distancing.

I also thank iReal pro for allowing me to be of support to the Forums and the mission of this wonderful app, helping musicians of all levels, worldwide to make music and improve their musicianship.

Music is best when it's a shared experience with others.
iReal pro makes sharing music and song charts easy!

In addition to continuously sanitizing all the Forums' door handles and wiping down the midi instruments after each use, my role here has evolved to include:

Librarian
Hall monitor
Educator
Traffic cop
Mentor
Researcher
Transcriber
Facilitator
Spammer-blocker
Perpetual student
iRp Evangelist and more.

Someone said music is supposed to be FUN.
I'm happy to report, it is! I believe better days are coming!

I haven’t seen advertising for iReal pro anywhere....
We continue to rely entirely on users just like *you* to share this incredible tool with other musicians.
You do your part, we'll keep doing ours.

Enjoy a safe, healthy and musical Thanksgiving

Thank you Bob for your lovely thoughts. We appreciate your dedicated help here at the forum!

This year has been very difficult for everyone in the world. We have had many contact us, grateful for iReal Pro keeping them company, helping with their practice—and their mental well-being. We have had many previous users of iReal Pro download again to help keep up their fluency and have some fun at the same time while their normal musical lives are on hold.
Hopefully 2021 will be less restricted and we can venture out into the world again.
Thank you to all our iReal Pro users for your support,
- from the iReal Pro team (including Bob!)
