Music Theory Tutor Vol 1 - Windows
Product Description
Learning music theory is fun and easy with eMedia Music Theory Tutor Volume 1 interactive Windows/Mac software. Over 230 engaging lessons teach music theory with images, audio, interactive tests, and many examples. Based on your responses and skill level, an Intelligent Practice feature will guide you through the detailed curriculum and help you learn crucial musical elements such as rhythm, melody, and harmony.
Many lessons let you enter pitches simply by humming, singing, or playing your instrument into the computer’s microphone. Tap rhythms, sing back melodies, guess intervals, and much more. Music Theory Tutor Volume 1 shows you when you are playing or singing the correct pitches in a lesson and lets you see your progress. Gain confidence as you pass quizzes at the end of each subject and ace tests at the end of every grade level completion.
You’ll learn about the building blocks of music and begin to hear musical keys, scales, intervals, chords, and rhythms “in your head” so you can compose without an instrument and learn songs faster.
