Trumpet Fingering Trainer 2.3.1
The “Trumpet Fingering Trainer” application isan efficient way to train the standard and alternative trumpetfingerings by heart.In the first phase, the application randomly displays notes in therange defined by the user. Those notes have to be pressed and holdcorrectly on the touch-screen for the configured time interval. Incase of an error, the application advises the user with the correctfingering that has to be confirmed, to continue the training.After all notes in the range have been trained twice theapplication switches its internal behavior.Notes that were previously pressed incorrectly are now trained moreoften. In an efficient way, those weakly memorized fingerings arenow consolidated. This app does not substitute the training on thereal trumpet. It should be considered as an alternative way oftraining. Knowing the correct fingerings by heart is essential toany good trumpet player. Currently I don´t know any other techniquethat provides instant feedback and allows you to memorizefingerings by heart more quickly than this app.Features:+ train the 12 signatures of the chromatic scale (major and minorkeys)+ statistics views for detailed analyzis (for each note the "hitratio" and the "average response delay" is provided)+ user defined note range selection from F#3 to G6+ user defined fingering response time. The time can be configuredin steps of 0,05 seconds from 10 seconds (for beginners) up to 0,25seconds.+ Ability to switch on/off the display of note name, standardfingering, alternative fingeringsIt should be noted that this app will be useful for any valveinstrument, for example cornet, tenor horn, as well as pitch, e.g.Bb, Eb, C, D.New in Release 2.0:During the fingering training the app analyzes the fingerings andcreates corresponding statitics. These statistics are used by theapp to focus the learing on wrong or weak memorized fingerings. Thegathered statistic data like the "hit ratio" or the "averageresponse delay" for each note is provided in statistic views forfurther investigations. And of cause can be used to measure theprogress in learning with this app.
