Easy Songs For Students, Teachers, and Beginners

01 Details: Easy Songs With Instruction For Students, Teachers, and Beginners[#
(Zz iReal Has Many Styles) ARR: be2sharp
One of the 1st things you are told for every song
is to adjust the iReal Pro key to match the key of
the song you are playing. The rules as they are
given apply only to "concert-key" instruments - - -
mostly the stringed instruments, the flute, piccolo
and a few others. Instruments like trumpets, the
saxes, the trombone, the tuba, the clarinet, and
several others, each have their own rules for
taking steps to adjust the keys of their songs, so
that the song and the instrument pitches match.
Gain that information by asking any music teacher.

iReal Pro has a special feature called "Global
Transposition", allowing you to read chords in your
key, while the app plays the song in "concert key".
This set of songs was designed and put together

to help first-year students, by giving them the
iReal Pro instruments to play along with, instead
of having to just practice and play by themselves.
You can have so much fun changing the Tempos,

iReal song Styles, and setting the Repeats to play
a song as many times as you want.
Be sure to take a good look at the iReal Pro Mixer,
where you can select different instruments, etc.
