[nabs-l] Musical metrinomes

Mon Mar 24 23:08:27 UTC 2014

Hi All.

Yes, as has been mentioned, there are a wide range of metronome 
apps available for the Ios platform.  I, myself, have an app 
called Metronome Plus, which I'm not sure, but I think I heard 
that it's the most accessible with Voiceover.
Another thing, even though I'm a musician, I don't quite get what 
you guys mean by "concert notes" (I don'tthink my piano teacher 
mentioned anything about that).  Therefore, could you explain a 
little more, please? I would re'ally appreciate it.

Marrisa, I don't want to be rude and I'm sorry if I'm going 
off-topic.  But have you ever heard of the expression "when 
there's a will, there's a way"?
In other words, you have your will, which is to have a metronome.  
Well, there are many ways you can get one.  We have proposed 
several ways to get a metronome; but you don't seem to want to 
take any of our suggestions into account.
I'm not saying this in a rude way.  I'm simply saying that you 
have a response to everything saying that you don't want to do 
any of them.
Just because you don't have an Ios device, that does not exclude 
you from getting a metronome, and just because you
currently don't have enough money to buy an Ios device, that does 
not exclude you from getting one.
If your TVI proposed to get an Ipad for the visually impaired 
children in your district, well, chances are he or she might have 
forgotten.  Try to ask him or her if they're still working on 
that project, or ask how it is coming along.
However, your TVI is of course not the only way you can get an 
Ipad.  At your next IEP meeting, you can ask if it's possible to 
get an Ipad is possible.
Or, you can ask your family members or friends to get you an Ios 
device on your next birthday or something.

Now about buying your own metronome at a music store.  I admit, 
I'm a little confused with 2 of your messages.  In the first 
message, you have said that you'll be going out with your friends 
and you'll try to go to the music store, but later on you said 
that you can't go to the music store because you don't know the 
way around your neighborhood.  I therefore don't know which one 
is true.
And even if you are going out with your friends, you can still 
work on that not knowing your way around your neighborhood issue.  
You can apply for mobility services at home, or if you don't want 
to do that, you can go for walks around your neighborhood with 
your parents, guardian or whoever you live with, or even your 
friends.
So you see, everything is possible.  You are absolutely not 
blocked from getting a metronome.
And yes, you're right, there is no metronome for the Apex, as far 
as I know.
By the way, speaking of the Apex, I'd really like to know what 
you find "horrible about it"?
I don't find anything horrible about it except that it sometimes 
freezes when you're working.  If there's anything that I can do 
to help, just let me know.
My appologies for the long message, and with the hope that you'll 
take my comments as constructive advice and not as criticism,

Sami.

Depends on which met you get.  Some have adjustable tunings, 
others do not.

 O, it's fine.  No worries.  So the metranome wouldn't match the
 concert pitch?

 Your right.  I made a typo.  I'm embarrassed now.

  I'm not sure.  My teacher usually has us do a concert b-flat I
 think? All I know is it is a c on the clarinet.  Either way, I
 could make it work.

  I think you would need a concert a flat for band mainly.

  Wow, that tuneing may come in handy for band.  Would it? And do
 you know the cheapest one price? I want to save as much of my
 money if I can.

  Well, it depends on the device.  If you get the super fancy 
ones
 (which cost a lot more the ten dollars), they may not be so easy
 because they probably have a screen which you would have to
 navigate.  The cheap one that I have has one switch and a dial.
 The switch has three positions.  All the way to the left is
 completely off, in the middle plays a concert A (the A above
 middle C) which string players can use to tune and then all the
 way to the right plays the metronome.  The dial sets the tempo.
 That's about it.  It's really easy to use.  That's how most
 of the cheap ones are.

  Correct.  How easy is it to use, not being able to see?

  Yes.  You should be able to find one for about $10 at any music
 store.  I would be surprised if they were much more expensive
 than that.  I mean, you just need a cheap little metronome.  You
 don't need anything fancy, right?

  Hey! I have $12.  When I go out with my friend, this week, I'll
 see if we can stop by the music store.  Is that where it is?

  Even if you do use YouTube, the recording will not be at the
 speed you want.  Buying one is probably your best bet.  They
 really are very cheap.  Something like five dollars.  Maybe 
less.

  I cannot use youtube.  The site I use to convert will not work
 any more and any other side will not work with the Apex, as far
 as i know

  Have you checked YouTube? They may have a recording.  However, 
I
 would simply recomend buying one if you can.

  Hi Marisa,
  I don't know of any that would work on the apex.  Do you have 
an
 iPhone? there are several apps that would work with an iPhone,
 and iPad or an iPod touch.  You can also buy digital metronomes
 from any music store.  They are very cheap.

  Hey,

  Does anyone know of any online metranomes for free, that would
 work on the Apex? Or, perhaps, a very very long metranome
 recorded?
