Clarinet Prompter 2.9

The Clarinet Prompter offers a straightforward and engaging approach to learning the clarinet, combining practical features with user-friendly design. It functions as a digital guide, displaying note fingerings on the screen that players can follow to practice scales or entire songs. The application supports importing MIDI files from email or web sources, providing real-time note fingering guidance synchronized with the playback of your chosen music.

One notable feature is the ability to slow down tempo during playback, facilitating easier practice sessions. Users can adjust the speed at any moment to match their comfort level, enhancing the learning process. Additionally, Clarinet Prompter can automatically loop either whole tracks or specific sections, enabling focused repetition for difficult passages—an effective method for mastering complex phrases.

The software retains personalized settings for each song, including preferred tempo, muted tracks, and looping preferences. This allows users to seamlessly return to their practice sessions without reconfiguring their setup, supporting sustained progress over time.

By eliminating the need to juggle physical fingering charts or sheet music on a stand, Clarinet Prompter streamlines the practice environment. It reduces cross-referencing between different reference materials and helps musicians focus on actual playing. Its intuitive interface fosters immediate engagement with music-making, which in turn sustains motivation and enjoyment.

Suitable for self-learners, private instructors, or educational settings, the app enables teachers to prepare weekly MIDI-based lesson plans and share them via email. Users can easily delete imported songs with a swipe gesture or share them through email by long-pressing song titles.

The latest version introduces AirDrop support for sharing music files wirelessly within the same room. This feature simplifies distribution of lesson materials from instructors to students and allows band members to exchange songs seamlessly—ensuring everyone has access to the same reference content without logistical hurdles.

Expanded hardware compatibility now includes support for the AirTurn Bluetooth wireless pedal. This addition allows hands-free control over playback functions—starting, stopping, pausing—and navigation through note fingerings or reference charts simply by stepping on the pedal. This capability enhances practice efficiency by minimizing interruptions and allowing players to maintain focus on their instrument. Details about the AirTurn device are available at http://airturn.com; it is sold through major musical retailers. Importantly, Clarinet Prompter can function fully without any additional hardware, making this a valuable optional accessory for enhanced usability.

The app also supports viewing parts written for other instruments with automatic transposition into the clarinet’s octave range, aiding versatile practice routines. Additionally, a new chromatic scale song file has been added to complement the existing library of 36 preloaded practice and scale files.

Originally priced at $9.99, Clarinet Prompter is available now at a special introductory price of $4.99. Its features are designed to optimize practice time and improve skill development by providing an accessible, comprehensive learning tool.
