Teaching system for ten.
Music Theory Tutor Lab Packs* are perfect for letting students individually study music theory in a school computer lab. It includes over 400 engaging lessons that teach the crucial musical elements of rhythm, melody, and harmony. Learning is easier and more effective with images, audio, interactivity, and numerous examples. An Intelligent Practice feature analyzes student responses to questions and skill levels and can even create an individualized practice program to improve weak areas.
Many lessons let students enter pitches simply by humming, singing, or by playing their instrument into the computer microphone. The software listens as a student taps in rhythms, sings back pitches to guess intervals, and interacts with lessons. It is easy to see when pitches are correctly matched in a lesson, and you can view a chart of progress as you move through the course. Quizzes at the end of each subject and tests at the end of every grade level completion make it easy to assess progress.
The structured course and practice exercises help students to hear musical keys, scales, intervals, chords, and rhythms “in the their head” to read music more effectively compose without an instrument, improvise solos, and learn songs by ear faster.
Learn How Music Works
Learn how rhythms, scales, chords, and chord progressions are created. Understand how tempos are described and notes are subdivided and grouped into measures. Learn the function of melody and harmony and how to use harmonic and rhythmic cadence. Understand all of the fundamentals that every composer, songwriter, and instrumentalist should know.
Hear the Music
Students can learn to sight-sing music and hear it “in their head” by recognizing rhythms, intervals, and chord relationships.
Assess Student Progress
Students take tests and can view statistics to track progress. The Intelligent Practice feature tracks the student’s responses in lessons and automatically selects questions to improve weak spots.
