Thank You iReal pro

[pdxdjazz]

Thanksgiving 2019

The Beat goes on!
Now more than 145,000 Forum members along with many more "guests" viewing and downloading iReal pro charts all the time.

iReal pro is all about chart sharing. I am thankful for all who share their charts in the forums. By comparing different versions of the same song I often get new (to me) musical ideas. The iRp player makes it easy.

I am thankful for the the music teachers, instructors and mentors who have incorporated iReal pro into their programs and practice. Using iReal pro chord charts focuses on "the changes", chord progressions that provide the necessary framework for musical notes/melodies. Reading a melody line note by note will play a song. A single chord progression will play many songs (eg. I, vi, IV, V). There are many helpful posts in the forums that help demystify the secret language musicians use.

I believe that most folks, most of the time are doing the best they can. I am thankful for our members whose posts are intended to help others in their musical journeys.

I remain thankful for iReal pro which continues to make my musical life better. I hope you feel the same

Thanksgiving 2020

Today in the US we again celebrate the annual Thanksgiving holiday.

As the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, I am especially thankful to have iReal pro available as my music partner during this painful time of separation and distancing.

I also thank iReal pro for allowing me to be of support to the Forums and the mission of this wonderful app, helping musicians of all levels, worldwide to make music and improve their musicianship.

Music is best when it's a shared experience with others.
iReal pro makes sharing music and song charts easy!

In addition to continuously sanitizing all the Forums' door handles and wiping down the midi instruments after each use, my role here has evolved to include:

Librarian
Hall monitor
Educator
Traffic cop
Mentor
Researcher
Transcriber
Facilitator
Spammer-blocker
Perpetual student
iRp Evangelist and more.

Someone said music is supposed to be FUN.
I'm happy to report, it is! I believe better days are coming!

I haven’t seen advertising for iReal pro anywhere....
We continue to rely entirely on users just like *you* to share this incredible tool with other musicians.
You do your part, we'll keep doing ours.

Enjoy a safe, healthy and musical Thanksgiving

Thank you Bob for your lovely thoughts. We appreciate your dedicated help here at the forum!

This year has been very difficult for everyone in the world. We have had many contact us, grateful for iReal Pro keeping them company, helping with their practice—and their mental well-being. We have had many previous users of iReal Pro download again to help keep up their fluency and have some fun at the same time while their normal musical lives are on hold.
Hopefully 2021 will be less restricted and we can venture out into the world again.
Thank you to all our iReal Pro users for your support,
- from the iReal Pro team (including Bob!)

Jamming with Jamulus is taking off and all participants having iRealPro with the standard songs preloaded makes virtual playing together fun.

My first time on the forum since buying iRp in 2017. Wow a whole world in here. Been so invaluable to me, as I can be in 5 bands at a time with an endless list of tunes. IRp rocks. Hopefully I’ll get time to share a bunch of charts I’ve written that I haven’t found in searches. Cheers from the land of OZ.

Thank You for a great update

I have to congratulate the whole team on the stellar new update. It’s just looks beautiful and the new layout is fantastic .
I just now discovered as I added a new playlist that it was put at top of all the lists. I probably have 50+ playlists and it is always been a huge pain to try to drag the list up to the top. That’s the kind of little attention to detail that is so greatly appreciated. Again many many thanks to all the iReal pro crew.

Hello! First off, WOW! I’m blown away by the app. This is truly changing my life and opening up a whole new avenue in my songwriting! I am one of those people who has musical ideas constantly rolling around in my head, but unfortunately I do not have the natural ability to play instruments. My music was always trapped in my heart and my head save writing the lyrics down. So THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! This is absolutely a game changer for me.

Thanksgiving Day 2022

Thanksgiving 2022

I often view the Forum's “activity stream”. I like seeing who is on the Forums and how many members and guests are using our content.

No matter when I happen to check-in, day or night (you know, musicians’ hours…) there are always a bunch of users searching, browsing, studying and learning from the content shared here by other members.

I am amazed that we have members from all over the world. Anywhere there's internet, there are musicians that use iReal pro. On every continent, in every country.
Each a musical brother or sister who shares our same musical language.

I also like to see when they joined our community. Of course there is a steady stream of new members, each with many of the same how-to questions. As more features have been included and iReal pro continues to have updates, there is always more to learn.

I’m especially happy to see many long-time members using the Forums. Even after a decade or longer, they still find the Forums a valuable resource and relevant in their musical lives.

A reminder: I have not seen any iReal pro advertising.
Each of our members/users (even you) learned about iReal pro from a fellow musician.

My musical life has been changed for the better because another musician took their time to tell me about iReal pro. I remain thankful to them.

In the app's early days, most musicians didn’t own a device on which they could use the app. For many, that was a roadblock to iReal pro (iReal Book, iReal b) Less than 15 years later, nearly *everyone* has a device in their pocket that's compatible with iReal pro!

Please suggest iReal pro to others. They will appreciate it and remember you!

Thank you for using iReal pro and thanks to iReal pro for being useful to my music in so many ways.

Thanksgiving Day 2023

I started this “thank you” thread 10 years ago to acknowledge the extensive contributions iReal pro had made in my musical journey.

As I read through it, I am reminded again how much I appreciate the continuing efforts of the Developer and support team to enhance the universal functionality of this amazing musical app.

iReal pro version history
https://www.irealpro.com/version-history

To have *one* app that is so incredibly useful for musicians at all levels of proficiency is unheard of. The same app is useful for beginners as well as jazz educators and working professionals.

Please take a moment and remember who suggested iReal pro to you. That musician to musician sharing pretty much reflects the process through which we become musicians.

Spread the joy, share the app, help others along their musical path.

Thank you for being part of my musical experience.
