This comprehensive software program covers all the material in the Alfred’s Essentials of Music Theory book series and includes narration of new concepts, animation, exercises, games and ear training to motivate while strengthening musical skills. The most complete and enjoyable way to learn music!
Lessons and Exercises:
The Interactive Software includes narration, animated examples and clickable elements for aural reinforcement during the presentation of lesson material.
Exercise screens display an identifying bar at the right-hand side. Goals are set for each exercise, and points are awarded for each correct answer. The drills can be practiced repeatedly to build solid understanding of concepts. Questions are randomized to provide reinforcement of material without duplicating its sequence.
Ear Training:
Each series of lessons and exercises is followed by a section of ear training.
The ear training lessons built into each unit. Examples are performed with real, not synthesized instruments, and students have the opportunity to play the exercise several times to thoroughly understand what they are hearing.
Reviews
At the end of each Unit is a Review of all topics covered.
Students are scored on their performance during the Review session. The Educator Version of Essentials of Music Theory Software will track the scores of up to 200 students per volume, and also includes a custom test generator. When working in lab situations, students can save their results to a network location or onto disk, and the teacher can import their scores into the Educator Version.
