New linux software for practicing scales on the harmonica
Hi
just released harp_scale_trainer a simple program to help practicing scales on a diatonic harmonica.
It is free and open source and runs under linux only ! (but wslg in Windows 11 will do).
harp_scale_trainer has two modes of operation:
'Listen' just listens to your playing, shows the note and tells you, if it is from the chosen scale.
'Quiz' plays random notes from the scale and asks you to play them back.
Bevore doing any of these you will need to calibrate with your own harp however.
Currently the set of available keys is c and a and the set of scales is blues and major pentatonic; expansion to some other keys, adding other scales (which ?) and supporting chromatic harmonica are all straightforward and intended for the next two months.
See the link below for a screenshot and instructions. Maybe then give it a try and/or drop a comment !
Best, Marc
