Chapin, SC - Contact Plus Corporation announces the release of Trumpet Pro HD for the Apple iPad. Trumpet Pro HD was designed to help all levels of trumpet players master the craft of playing the trumpet. According to the manufacturer, Trumpet Pro HD enables trumpet players to master scales, intervals, chromatic exercises and difficult music passages.

Trumpet Pro HD is a fingering practice app therefore the user has no need to tilt or blow into the iPad to make sounds. A 32 measure music staff is displayed above three valve buttons. The music plays through the iPad speaker while the note is highlighted. As the notes are played, the correct fingering is also highlighted on the valves similar to a player-piano. The user sees immediate feedback on the screen if the incorrect valve combination is pressed. Points are awarded for accuracy when the correct valve combinations are pressed. The tempo can be adjusted on the fly - slow for beginners and fast for advanced players. Users can modify all of the notes and exercises, change the song title, key signature and chord over each measure.

The songs can be shared via email and the web. For example, a trumpet teacher can design his own music exercises and post them on his blog or email them to his students. The students in turn can respond via email with their score and total time spent on the exercise. The ability to customize the alternate fingerings is available which is a very important aspect for advanced players.

Feature List:

• Supports Alternate Fingerings
• Cumulative scores for each song/exercise
• Favorite list of songs for focused practice
• Transpose up or down while practicing - great for learning and practicing jazz links
• Slow tempo down to 20 beats per minute for beginners
• High speed of 999 beats per minute for experts
