hfbrew Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Well it looks very clever but no substitute for a real live good pianist! As 95% of my classes have excellent pianists I won't be in any hurry to get this gadget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaPiermattei Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 A real pianist is always better! This is not just a gadget, it is a very powerful worktool for all those who can not always afford a real pianist. It is far more flexible than a cd, less expensive than a pianist and it's cheaper than a cd too: €8.99 for 52 tunes which you can custumize as you like, played by a pianist from the Teatro alla Scala.

Aurora Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 It looks very clever to me!! My dd's school doesn't use a live pianist due to cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdance Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Great idea! I'm surprised no-one has thought of this before, it's so useful to be able to speed up and slow down music and gone are the days of the variable speed tape player! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 On the days my pianist doesn't come I use mini discs because they are so easy to record and edit, (just like word processing) and my player does have variable speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 My teacher occasionally supplements the pianist with some sort of player, and it definitely seems to have variable speed, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaPiermattei Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 On the days my pianist doesn't come I use mini discs because they are so easy to record and edit, (just like word processing) and my player does have variable speed. With Ballet Class you can control the speed without affecting the pitch, which other devices like CD players usually affect. The effect of pitch shift is that the music goes out of tune, it may even sound funny if the speed change causing it is significant. Besides, you can save the tune with a modified speed as a new tune, so that you don't have to find out the correct speed again and again. You can even create different copies, each with a specific speed (say, for different courses). Moreover, speed control is not everything to it: you can select how many bars you want the tune to last just by tapping one button. No edit of any sort is needed. And you can save this kind of changes too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Thank you for this, I have downloaded the lite version to 'play' with over the Christmas break. We don't have a pianist as our studio's aren't exclusively ours, but also used for Ju Jitsu and Fencing (in the past also Football and Gymnastics), so we don't have a piano. I have a massive collections of class CD's though, some on mini disc, some on CD. In the past 12 months I have gone over to mainly using my Ipad for class. There is also a great teachers app on there (free), called TeacherKit, for registration, grading and sending group emails...it has revolutionised the amount of paper I carry around with me!

dancemad Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I LOVE this app. The way you can save playlists (with saved tempo changes if you wish) is wonderful. I will certainly look at the latest version. Thank you Andrea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
