Pitch Trainer, Are You Pitch Deaf? Check It Out!

This is a interesting pitch hearing ability test.

It gives you 2 different pitched sounds to compare each time.

You just need to answer if the pitch of the 2nd sound is higher or lower than the 1st one.

After the test, a score is given to let you know if you are pitch DEAF or NOT.

If you are a guitar player, this test is especially useful.

It trains your ears to establish the pitch hearing ability to fine tone your guitar.

Have fun!

这是一个有趣的音高听力测试软件。

测试结束后,一份测试报告会汇报你的音高听力能力。

通过反复使用这个软件,可以提高吉他手用同度音调音的能力。

Note Trainer, Memorize Music Notes Rapidly and Easily!

This is an excellent training program for you to memorize notes on a staff.

All you need is five minutes a day. Trust me! You will see the improvement in a week.

Let’s start from the very beginning. Memorizing all names of notes is a breeze.

1. Click anywhere on the staff.
2. Read the note on the staff.
3. Type the name of the note (C, D, E, F, G, A, B. These are all on the left-hand side of a keyboard. So typing in the name should be faster than clicking the name on screen by a mouse)
4. Right side shows your score statistic.

这是一个优秀的训练软件,能帮助熟练记忆五线谱上音符的音名。

只需每天 5 分钟,一周后即可见功效。

让我们从头开始,熟练记忆音名不费吹灰之力。

1、用鼠标点击五线谱的任何部位。
2、认读五线谱上的音符。
3、键入该音符的音名(C、D、E、F、G、A、B。这些键都在键盘左手边,所以单手使用键盘比用鼠标点击下面的音名更快捷方便)
4、右边是成绩统计。

另外,可以点击右边的“Settings”,换到设置界面,在左上角,拖动音符改变随机出现音符的音高范围,再次点击“Settings”回到主界面。XP 用户可以双击屏幕右下角带出有秒针的时钟,给自己计时,看一分钟能答对多少个。我设置音域从下加四间E -> 上加四间F,目前一分钟的正确回答数约是 60,你呢?欢迎留言交流心得。

这是绝大多数乐器视奏的基本功!可以设置自己希望锻炼的音域,每天花几分钟就能提高识别音名的速度并逐步建立条件反射。

Guitar Right Hand Technique Tips, Scale & Tremolo

We need to pay extra attention to the following key points:

a, m, i fingers stroke direction -> down! (not up)
nail & flesh touch a string at the same time
to produce sound evenly, always stroke at the same part of your fingers
practice a scale as if it’s an arpeggio (don’t use metronome)
forward & backward scale practice sequence
to play fast scales, eliminate unnecessary movement, improve efficiency
co-ordination exercise, use tremolo to practice scale

略提几点:

压弦的演示解析、与非压弦的比较示范
要发音均匀,必须有能力做到每次触弦都用同一部位(指甲长短并不是关键)
音阶的渐进与方向渐进练习模式
把一段音阶视为如同用拇指的一段琶音扫弦(不要使用节拍器)
用轮指的指法弹音阶
