The Music Theory Tutor Classroom License* is ideal for one-to-many instruction that uses one computer with large monitors, projectors and other presentation devices. 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 the student’s responses to questions and skill level and can even create an individualized practice program to improve their weak areas. Many lessons let the student enter pitches simply by humming, singing, or playing the student’s instrument into the computer’s 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 can view a chart of progress as 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 WorksLearn how rhythms, scales, chords, and chord progressions are created.
