Apps, Software, and Technology for Practicing Jazz

from Learn Jazz Standards Podcast Hosted by Brent Vaartstra: Jazz Musician, Author, and Entrepreneur

Welcome to episode 215 of the LJS Podcast where today I go over different apps, software and technology that I and other members of the LJS community recommend for practicing jazz. Apps and software shouldn't be used as crutches, but if they are used as aids to help the learning process they can be a really helpful thing. One thing we're lucky to have as jazz musicians here in the 21st century is lots of apps, software, and technology to help aid us in our jazz practicing and learning the music more efficiently. Now, some would say that's not so much of an advantage. I mean, if you look back at the jazz greats, they had to put in the hard work and really train their ears by picking up that needle on the record player, by going to gigs, and listening and picking things up on the fly. And absolutely, sometimes, things made easier are not made better.On the other hand, we have all these great tools at our disposal, at our fingertips, and they can be really helpful for us if used as tools and not crutches. So, in today's episode, I'm going to be sharing some different apps, software, and technology that you can use to help you on your jazz education journey. In this episode: 1. iReal Pro 2.
