ideal type of sight-reading practice; playing along to music that you haven't

heard before.

- Ear Training: Play along with the Melodies and chords that the program is

generating, without looking at the music. Since Band-in-a-Box is always

using intelligent chord progressions and melody phrasing that a professional

would actually use, you are learning to recognize chord progressions and

melody phrases that you will encounter in real playing situations.

- Guitarists can extend the 'Sight Reading' concept by just watching the

on-screen guitar fretboard play the melody notes. If a student were

watching his teacher reading music, he would watch the guitar not the sheet

music. This is because guitar is a very visual instrument. Similarly, you

may prefer to watch the on-screen guitar instead of the notation.

Generate Less than a Complete Song

Here are ways that you can use the Melodist short of generating a full song:

- Auto-generate / regenerate / remove an intro for an existing song. You

can learn from the intelligent chord progressions that are generated to lead

in to the first chord of the song.

- Auto generate pedal bass patterns over existing songs, to add

tension/release effect to your Band-in-a-Box arrangements.

- Generate chords only, and then compose your own melody by playing or

singing along with the chord progression. This can help composers to write

new songs by starting them off with a chord progression that they might not

ordinarily use. And if you're stuck at a certain bar, see what BB will

generate/regenerate as a melody for that section.

- Generate chords only, and practice playing your musical instrument

along with the chord progressions. Print out the generated lead sheet of

chords so that you can see the chords easily on the music stand. Working

with new chord progressions is useful to “get-out-of-a-rut” in your

practicing by playing new chord progressions. You can also improve your

harmony ear training, by figuring out the chords as they are being played,

without looking at the chord symbol display.

- Generate Melodies only, over existing chord progressions.

Using Melodist Jukebox

Use the versatile Melodist Jukebox feature to:

- Generate Songs (Chords & Melodies) in succession

- Generate Solos only over generated chord progressions

- Generate Solos over the same chord progression (to practice blues soloing

for example).
