The Fun, Interactive Way to Learn Music! Perfect for band, orchestra, choir or general music students! 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!

Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory CD-ROM is based on the best-selling book of the same name. This exciting new course is critically acclaimed throughout the world for its concise lesson sequence, exercises, ear training and unit reviews for complete learning comprehension.

Unlike other programs, Essentials of Music Theory integrates ear training into every lesson plan. The differences between a whole and half step, a major or minor scale, or a major or dominant 7th chord are heard, not just read. To further develop aural skills, the examples are played by acoustic instruments which will help music students become accustomed to hearing more than one type of sound.

Each Lesson includes narration for both younger students at lower reading levels and students who need help with difficult pronunciations. Also included are animated examples, such as showing how a treble clef is drawn. Notes appearing on the staff are sounded to reinforce pitch recognition.

After each new concept is introduced, Exercises provide students with an opportunity for practical learning reinforcement through interaction with the computer. Because questions are randomized, exercises can be replayed without duplication of material. At the end of each successfully completed exercise, the students hear applause and see the words "Good Work." Ear Training examples, which reinforce aural learning, can be replayed and provide immediate feedback.

A Review at the completion of each unit records the student's score. Another exciting feature is the Glossary and Index of Terms and Symbols. This offers complete definitions of all the terms and symbols covered in the lessons, including spoken pronunciations and visual and aural examples. All the terms in the Glossary are highlighted and linked in the lessons for quick reference.

Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory CD-ROM includes musical examples from symphonies, marches, operas, oratorios, concertos and piano literature from many periods and cultures. Choral directors will especially appreciate the inclusion of solf�ge and Kod�ly syllables. It's a theory program everyone will appreciate!
