What's New in The Whole Horn

1.6.0

October 7, 2026

New: Play Along, every maqam in all 12 keys, and cleaner sounds. Play Along: 14 short blues pieces from the author's own tenor saxophone solo, sung, with the notation scrolling in your key for 69 instruments. Slow the tempo, loop any bars, and print your part. The pieces stream from thewholehorn.com, so they need a connection. Skip a Step is free; the other thirteen are part of the Full Studio. Maqamat: every maqam now plays in all 12 keys. The original key comes first and stays marked, with one tap back to it. Sound: the click on Pure is gone, and so is the tick at the start of a note. Harp and piano no longer sound alike, and organ and celesta have their own sounds. Fast notes now speak on strings, voice and flute, and the sounds are more even in loudness. Drums: the groove now plays right through whole notes and half notes, in all 45 styles. Rockabilly and Ska have their backbeat again at "Backbeat only". When the drum volume is at zero, the Sound panel says so.

User reviews

You don’t have to stick only to your instrument

I love this app it’s very comprehensive and the nice thing about it is that it has a lot of instruments so you don’t have to only stick to one instrument you can also practice other instruments as well if you wanna widen your horizons.

Great scale practice tool

Really useful for practicing scales and improving technique. Simple to use, and a great tool for regular practice

Game Changer!

The Whole Horn app isn’t just for brass instruments, but any instrument or voice!
Practice is essential for strengthening performance / this is true for any skill, especially music which enriches life and enhances learning of other dimensions.
The Whole Horn is a rewarding system that reinforces practice. What a win!!
