Learn My Part is designed primarily to help choir members learn their individual voice parts. There are some sample MIDI files pre-loaded but you can add your own files to the app through iTunes file sharing, or opening midi file attachments from Mail or Safari on the iPhone (detailed instructions on how to do this are in the built-in help). The app provides various ways to play MIDI files, giving the user the ability to play just their part on its own, their part highlighted with others playing quietly, or just the other parts and not theirs. Or they can do any custom mix of the tracks they like. It allows the playback speed to be adjusted slower or faster, sub-sections to be marked and repeated over and over again, and transposition. The user can choose to play each track using piano or organ sound. It can also display PDF Scores, allowing a score to be viewed while listening to a MIDI file being played back. ## Key features - Learn individual voice parts - Customizable MIDI playback - Adjustable playback speed - Transpose music - View PDF scores - Piano/organ sound options ## Chart rankings - #185 in Top Paid · Music (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 20) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/learn-my-part/id517515605/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Thank goodness for this app. *2021-07-30, version 2.5* I recently bought a new iPad and was horrified to find out that my app I’ve used for years to learn choir music, Sonja, was no longer available in the App Store and therefore I was losing it. You would think that there would be a number of options in the App Store that would perform the functions that this app does but incredibly, as far as I know, this is it. In fact, it took a lot of perseverance to find it given that the name, “learn my part“ doesn’t work well for a search using words like “choir practice.” Why any choir singer would not use this kind of app is beyond me. Thankfully, this app does just what it claims to do with a reasonably easy to use interface. Being able to play the midi and see a PDF score at the same time is a nice touch. And although the instructions don’t say so, you can import files from other sources such as dropbox. Given that the app hasn’t been updated in five years, I’m guessing the developer isn’t interested in suggestions but there are some things that could really improve the functionality that might not be hard to incorporate. One would be to show a time index in the play line. It would also be great to be able to place markers at important points on the line. Check the app "TempoSloMo." For sure, the app should remember the settings for each midi file and bring them up automatically. It would be awesome if the player had a scrubber bar where you could drag the circle through a certain spot in case you want to hear that strange transition from one chord to the next with total control. That was a great feature of Sonya. Perhaps most importantly, it would be useful to be able to rename the tracks and to re-order them. Midi files don’t always have that information correct. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-03-22, version 2.5* 2019 update-still great. Still loving this app, several years later. I had a question, emailed the developer, and he responded very quickly, and was extremely helpful. Original review, march 2014: I can easily download midi files off my choral website. I like how you can highlight any given line, and manipulate the tempo. ### 5/5 — Not just choral *2018-12-09, version 2.5* I use this to practise my clarinet part for the folk band I play in. I upload the midi files to my iCloud Drive and then load them to LMP. I can then play individual instruments or just my instrument or highlight it (play it louder than any other instrument) or play everything together. All in all an excellent practise tool. ### 4/5 — Really useful app, but organising files could be easier *2018-06-06, version 2.5* Haven’t used this extensively yet, but looks like a really useful aid for learning choral parts. It’s simple to use and I like the ability to easily switch the emphasis given to the different vocal lines. Originally, I said that loading files from email attachments or via web page is rather clunky and it would be nice if midi and pdf files could be loaded directly from Dropbox or similar, or via the new Files app in iOS. It turns out you can do this! Load files to Dropbox and then just use the export option to send them to LMP - should have read earlier reviews! It would be good if files for a single work could be grouped into a directory. I do notice the developer hasn’t updated the App for a while, perhaps he is no longer actively working on it, but it would be handy to mention Dropbox loading in the instructions. No one uses iTunes for this anymore. ### 5/5 — Absolute lifesaver *2018-03-10, version 2.5* Enables me to be thoroughly ready for choir practices. I am a nervous sight reader when I say “nervous”, I mean “rubbish”)but I can learn by practising and by listening and this is perfect. I love how you can choose a particular section and repeat only that, plus the ability to challenge yourself when you have learnt your part is great. I recommend this to everybody I know who sings. ### 5/5 — Excellent app for learning choral music *2016-04-13, version 2.5* The app is easy to use. You have to search the Internet for free midi files or you can buy them from cyberbass. To load them, you just email them to yourself and when you click on the attachment the learn my part icon pops up and you just click to add it to the app. The app isolates the parts and gives you the ability to put in a loop for difficult parts and slow them down until you learn them. Sometimes you have to search around for different versions of the midi files to find one that works, but once you do you can work on the music from your IPad or IPhone any time. My only complaint is that the app does not seem to turn horizontal when I am using the IPad, so I can't keep it in my keyboard. An update to fix this would be appreciated. ### 5/5 — Really invaluable *2016-04-09, version 2.5* Great app. Simple to use and a great boon for "up a bit, down a bit" sight readers like me. Don't understand why one reviewer gives one star for the limited number of included midi files. Importing new files is very simple. ### 2/5 — Ios8 update required *2015-10-03, version 2.4* Are you working in an ios8 update as app has stopped working and am having to use other midi apps ### 5/5 — Essential Choral Tool *2015-09-30, version 2.4* I love this product. I've used it for several years as a rehearsal pianist whenever I was unable to use a piano (i.e., working, commuting, traveling, etc). It never tires or gets bored repeating mm "33 to whatever" over and over. I'm eagerly (frantically?) awaiting the next update so that it will work on iOS 9. I this app greatly accelerates my "Learn[ing] My Part". ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2015-01-30, version 2.4* Absolutely brilliant app. As a new member of a choir with basically no sight reading skills, this app has enabled me to "Learn My Part" and as long as I can find a midi file on the web it will continue to be an invaluable tool for me and many other members of our group. Get it now! ## Frequently asked questions about Learn My Part ### How does Learn My Part help me learn my part?
