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.
