F(OS)S for Learning a Musical Instrument ?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday August 31, 2006 @08:05PM from the a-software-conductor dept.

Anonymous Musician asks: "Recently I took up learning to play the violin (at age 37) and it is great fun. I found two little software tools to be of good help: Wired Metronome (Windows binary, free to download) to keep a steady beat, and TS-AudioToMIDI (Windows binary, shareware, 30 days free trial), using a microphone and built-in sound-card to detect in real time the note I am playing (I admit, sometimes it is more like a noise) and have it displayed on a piano keyboard to check and train my tuning. What tools, freeware or FOSS, are you using to assist you with learning to play an instrument?"

Parent is wrong. OLGA was shut down by the NMPA and MPA. I know the RIAA is the resident music industry hate target, but get your fucking facts straight.
