eto apps has added a new dimension to the Dallas School of Music dlp Jazz Books.
The app gives music students an incredible practice tool by allowing almost complete control of the playback on dlp’s backing tracks- including the melody only tracks.
The eto folks have done a great job of giving learners the ability to control their practice routines and practise at their own pace, working gradually up to each performance tempo.
The app also allows users to isolate and even loop any trouble areas of a song and that makes music practice much more fun and productive.

The app’s music basis is the tried, tested and well respected play-along material of the Dallas Music School (dlp) Jazz Book series; Alto Sax Level 1.
This app contains the three Bits and Pieces songs with each version having its own variation of the melody and different backing track. A full, real live jazz combo is there with which you can practice and play 24/7.
The first, Bits and Pieces 1, has a range of notes from A to F# (alto sax pitch) and is a really cool melody with swing 8s.
Bits and Pieces 2 pushes you to play B to A (alto sax pitch) with a more rhythmically sophisticated melody in a Latin feel with straight 8s.
