Key Finder software

[Lauraine Graham- with the Lord]

Does anyone know if there is software available to purchase that informs one of the key that a piece of music is played in? I have a wave file editor with which I change arrangements, and it is very successful for that, but it does not have this facility.

I have been asked to participate in a big charity show in a few weeks' time and I will be performing with real musicians, as opposed to a karaoke track. I haven't done this for more years than I care to mention and I have forgotten how to do this - even when I was professional I was sometimes way out, so my method was obviously less than accurate. I don't want to appear a total prat, as it seems that my participation has been requested by one of the organisers, who must have a very long memory indeed.

Can anyone help, please?

In anticipation of all the advice I hope to receive, many thanks.

Best wishes

Lauraine,

Your local music store should carry small things called "pitch pipes" and other little gadgets that will bring you into the right key. Ask the person behind the counter if they can recommend something useful and inexpensive.

If all else fails, you can use a harmonica to find where you are!

Take care,

Scoob

Thanks, Scoob

I will try the music store next time I am in town.
