Baritone Trainer is a baritone fingering chart and practice game for brass players. Pick an exercise, hit play, and hold the correct valve combination as each note sounds — the app scores your baritone fingerings in real time and highlights the note you're on, so you build the link between what you see, what you hear, and what your fingers do. Read it your way: treble clef in Bb or bass clef at concert pitch. Tap the clef on the staff to switch — even in the middle of a song — and the fingering chart and alternate fingerings show both. The valve fingerings are the same as the trumpet's, so if you play a treble-clef euphonium, it fits your fingerings too. Designed for the way you actually practice: • Interactive baritone fingering chart — every note on the staff shows the valves to press, scored as you play, so it's a fingering chart you drill, not just read. • Play-along loops — eight measures on the staff, played back with a piano-style chord under each measure, so you train fingerings in a musical context, not in silence. • Transcribe by ear — play a passage on your instrument and the app writes it onto the staff, note by note, in your key, so you can build or fix a song without tapping each one. • Real-time scoring — get credit for holding the right valves as each note plays, with a clean-run detector that rewards mistake-free passes. • Swipe to control — swipe left/right to change tempo, up/down to transpose to any key. • Baritone scales and studies — built-in libraries of major and minor scales, chromatics, arpeggios, and technical etudes for daily brass practice. • Track your progress — daily/weekly/monthly trends, streaks, and unlockable badges, plus a full stats screen for every song with an accuracy-over-time chart. Your best score, average, and attempt count show right in the song list. • Make it yours — alternate fingerings, metronome, chord volume, and valve-button size. Read music your way: • Note names in letters (C D E), German (H / B), or fixed-do solfège (Do Re Mi) — switch independently of the app language. • Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Chinese. Free to start: • The free version includes baritone scale libraries so you can practice fingerings right away. • Upgrade to Standard to unlock every song, import songs and libraries, and share songs; Pro adds creating, deleting, and exporting whole libraries. Both are one-time purchases — no subscription. Whether you're a beginner learning your first baritone scales or an advancing brass player pushing tempo, Baritone Trainer keeps your brass fingering practice focused, musical, and measurable.
