Easy and effective teaching

Audi-Graph contains recordings of multiple professional musicians for each instrument. You can choose which musician you want your students to sound like from a library of professional, symphony, feature soloists and clinicians. Audi-Graph displays the overtones and harmonics that comprise the musician�s timbre. Your students then play into a microphone to see exactly what their own timbre �looks� like, in comparsion to the professional sound.

This instantly demonstrates how timbre is impacted by variations in air stream, throat/tongue position, pressure, embouchure, and posture. Students can make the subtle adjustments to modify technique until their timbre visually matches the professional example. Visualization can quickly aid the student in producing a professional timbre. While concentrating on the visual matching, the student is associating proper technique with the resultant professional timbre, and learns to hear the subtle nuances in sound.

Within a very short time, your students will be playing with a professional symphony musician sound quality. As you know, sound quality is a heavily weighted component in judging for All-Region, All-State, UIL, solo/ensemble, university auditions and scholarships. Having your students use Audi-Graph will provide them the foundation for long term musicial success.

Audi-Graph is designed to improve the core tone/sound of a note played with no vibrato, and is intended for use during the long tone phase of the warm-ups. This is because students who focus on the fundamentals to develop a core sound have a better foundation on which to implement other techniques effectively, such as vibrato.

Audi-Graph can certainly be used to study musicians note attack, vibrato and dynamics, by displaying how they impact the harmonic frequency pattern against the professional core tone. As these are often expressive or time sensitive elements, Audi-Graph is best used to supplement instruction, and not to replace the fine art of listening and pedagogy. Audi-Graph provides an objective visualization of sound, offering students the ability focus on hearing what is a professional sound, once they see they are matching the professional sound.
