The Songbook feature provides a selection of songs with band accompaniment, guiding you through each note and helping you play in time with the music. Just tap the colored blocks at the bottom as they fall to hit the right note at the right time.

About the Interface: The interface of The Trumpet Plus More is meticulously designed to replicate the experience of playing a real trumpet. It enables you to play solely through touch, with maximum agility and minimal coordination between the left and right hand. The layout features an 'open pad' for the left thumb and three 'valve pads,' which correspond to trumpet valves 1, 2, and 3. These pads allow you to drop the pitch by 2, 1, and 3 half-steps respectively. The vertical divisions within the interface are based on the harmonic series and simulate what you would play when slurring continuously up or down for a given valve combination. Please note that the Bb partial is currently excluded.
