- Although I have listed a few sources above for Arabic musical scores and Arabic lyrics, traditionally, Arabic music has been taught and learned by ear; as a result, scores of Arabic song scores and lyrics are not as readily available as they are for classical and contemporary Western music. Therefore, both of the following software applications are extremely useful for "ear" transcription of music, lyrics, and also spoken word for foreign language study.
The Amazing Slow Downer created and sold by Roni Music (www.ronimusic.com), allows you to slow down a song while maintaining the song's true pitch integrity. Alternatively, you can adjust the pitch of a song so that you can play along with it and adjust the tempo so that is most comfortable for you. You can custom set start and stop points and also set repeat loops. I often use The Amazing Slow Downer to learn new material which I then work up with my band Al 'Azifoon. I have also used it in foreign language study.
Although I have not personally used the softwareTranscribe! (http://www.seventhstring.com/xscribe/overview.html), it has been highly recommended to me by other musicians. Transcribe is essentially a specialised player software program which is optimised for the purpose of ear transcription. It is also used by many people for play-along practice. It can change pitch and speed instantly, and you can store and recall any number of named loops. It is also used for speech transcription.
