musician apps?

[lazydays]

My 11 yr old daughter is in her third year of playing the flute. While in the music store today I saw a music stand adapter that let's you mount an iPhone to it. Intriguing. She has an iPod touch 64gb so I ordered a microphone for it off amazon. Now what apps would be useful to her? Metronome? Tuner?

Strange. In orchestra rehearsal a few hours ago most of the winds didn't have parts for one piece, so a bassoonist pulled up the part on his iPhone and was somehow playing from that (tiny) part. Was just thinking of posting about it.

there are a ton of metronome and tuner apps but all the ones i have are guitar centric.

here's a fun app that i use to beef up my rhythm note reading skills:



this one is limited but still useful for ear training:

Not useful, but fun: Ocarina. You blow into the microphone while fingering spots on the screen to make music, sorta like a flute.

Magic Piano is also cool.

Can't help you with too many others, as all the other music apps I have are specific to the guitar.

I'm eventually hoping to get an iPad, mainly because there are supposed to be some really good apps that can store/display sheet music. Not sure there are any good ones like that for the iPhone/Touch.

I like the Dog Piano but it's gone up to 99¢, it was free.

Not an iOS app, but if you're looking for a good way to add technology to an eleven-year-old's toolbox to help her improve her flute playing, you really need to check out SmartMusic if you haven't already. This has probably already been mentioned by her teacher, but if not...

I wish they would offer a version for iOS, but I don't know if that's even in the planning stages at this point.
