I'm not sure how much of this I'm going to be doing, but occassionally I throw together little projects sometimes to learn the new version of some tool that I use for a class. The latest of these is below.
| Title: | String Bass (Notes, Names, Fingerings) | ||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Description: | I've been learning how to play the String Bass from my daughter Rachel. It's actually been the best way to get her to focus on technique--because she's not all that motivated to think about her own but she can watch mine really well (and it helps me to see the other side of the fence, how annoying it is to have someone say "keep your elbow up"). One of the first things you have to do is connect three pieces of information: The name of a note, where it appears on the stave, and how you play it. Right now this is limited to just first position, I may expand on it if I keep up with my own lessons. This is essentially just a flash card triple, but I rather like that you can pick which ones are turned over to queue you to recall the other two (or other one). You can also change the rate at which the hidden cards are revealed, or "shuffle" the cards at any time. A pretty nifty use of interpreting a slider value for the delay rate--much easier than you might think, and the randomization code was copied almost wholesale from a photo/name viewer I head already put together. | ||||||||||||||
