I typically only use this method on songs with sections that I find particularly difficult. Before and after, I play the piece and see what it sounds like and whether there is any improvement. Using the "step-it-up trainer" feature available on the Pro+ version, or just doing it manually on the free version, I start my practice (usually with the sheet music on the stand) at a low rate of speed, (i.e., 50%) and work up to a faster rate of speed through a predetermined number of loops (say 10-15) and try to keep up. This is a practice method in which I put the earbuds in and the mute on my violin. My favorite use for the app is to practice the "Violin Hero" method of practice. The more complex features, such as looping pieces breaking songs into segments and looping the segments or the step-it-up" trainer are only marginally more complicated, but still simple to use. The slowdown comes at some minor expense of sound quality on the free version but the pitch remains correct. those that allow the user to slow down a song can be used right away by anyone who is tech savvy enough to use a dvd player. Anytune also has a customer support app that i have not tried. These apps are available through the App store for free, and for $19.99, respectively. I thought it would be a good one to discuss for my next product review, so here goes:Īnytune and Anytune Pro+ are apps that allow iPhone and iPad users to take songs from their iTunes and slow them down, break them into segments, and loop through either the song or the segment, repetitively. Over in the "How do you use Technology?" discussion thread, I mention an app that I have found helpful as a Suzuki parent. Printer-friendly version Product Review: Anytune & Anytune Pro+
