Music
is part and parcel of education. Many people carry lots of songs on
their mobile phone. Others go jogging with both ears having earphones
attached. Maybe teachers and students would like to add more music to
the school but sometimes you get one really great line or phrase for
a song, but just can't get the rest. The Impro-Visor can help you
finish your composition by suggesting improvisations and solos built
on your theme. It's also a valuable educational tool for aspiring
jazz musicians.
The
objective is to improve understanding of solo construction and tune
chord changes. There are other, secondary, things it can do, such as
improvise on its own. It has also been used for transcription.
Because rhythm-section (e.g. piano, bass, drums) accompaniment is
automatically generated from chords, Impro-Visor can be used as a
play-along device. Now having a wider array of accompaniment styles,
its use is not limited to jazz.
It
is free, open source and available for Windows, Linux and Mac. If you
would like to download it, go here.
Maybe you would like some tutorials.
Other people might ask: with so many programs which deal with music,
is there a place for another one? Well in this link,
