2. Instructional Content
Lesson
one
is
based
mainly
some
fundamentals
of
music
theory.
Covering
note
reading,
the
circle
of
fifths,
key
signatures,
piano
finger
positions,
major/minor
scales,
scale
modes,
jazz
scales,
scale
degrees,
intervals,
and
note
durations,
this
program
is
very
extensive
and
well
rounded.
Lesson
2
is
the
ear-‐training
portion.
It
covers
intervals,
triads,
triads
with
inversions,
7ths,
and
using
roman
numerals.
In
this
lesson,
a
chord
is
sounded,
either
blocked
or
broken,
and
the
user
must
chose
the
quality
and
inversion
of
the
chord.
The
lessons
in
this
program
each
stand-‐alone
and
do
not
build
upon
each
other.
Each
lesson
has
3
levels:
Beginning,
Intermediate,
and
Advanced.
There
are
many
options
the
user
can
choose
in
order
to
customize
their
learning
experience.
For
example,
this
image
shows
all
of
the
options
that
you
may
choose
for
the
intervals
lesson.
This
program
has
a
great
progress
tracker.
The
teacher
or
student
can
print
the
progress
report
out
and
keep
it
for
their
records.
It
is
easy
to
use
as
a
grading
guide.
The
nature
of
this
program
makes
the
user
use
their
higher
level
thinking
skills.
I
found
almost
all
of
the
most
advanced
exercises
very
difficult.
But,
since
the
student
sets
the
pace
of
their
own
learning
with
this
program,
they
will
not
be
forced
to
advance
too
quickly.
This
is
a
great
program
for
teaching
music
theory
and
ear
training.
I
personally
found
the
ear-‐
training
portion
of
the
program
the
most
valuable.
It
allows
you
to
send
a
student
to
the
computer,
to
work
at
their
own
pace,
on
their
personal
weaknesses.
Lesson
one,
the
theory
fundamentals,
can
easily
be
used
as
a
quiz
or
other
small
assessment.
The
teacher
can
send
students
one
at
a
time
while
continuing
to
work
with
the
class
as
a
whole.
Each
student
could
print
out
their
evaluation
and
turn
it
in.
There
are
many
other
possibilities
that
might
be
discovered
as
you
continue
to
learn
the
program.
