This computer software is a fun and exciting new approach to learning the basics of music reading and music theory. This series introduces musical concepts through concise lessons, followed by short exercises, ear training activities, and reviews. The lessons use various games which are easy for children to follow, yet mature enough for adults to enjoy. Each lesson ends with a section on ear training using a variety of acoustic instruments, and a review section to further reinforce learning. It also includes an interactive glossary of musical terms. With its animated examples and narration, this software adds extra fun to the process of learning music. We give it "two thumbs up!”
Subjects covered include: staff notes and pitches, treble and bass clefs, time signatures, tempo marks and articulation, key signatures, scales, circle of fifths, triads, intervals, inversions, figured bass, major and minor chords, modes, broken chords and arpeggiated accompaniments, passing and neighboring tones, harmonizing and composing a melody in major and minor keys, blues scale, and basic forms of music.
