Many activities use digitised sound to reinforce pitch and rhythm concepts, no MIDI keyboard is required. The computer responds with the correct answer after an error. Students learn as they play in a positive and non-threatening way.

A log tracks every activity successfully completed during the current session and the time taken. This can be printed at the end of each lesson for a permanent record of the student's achievements.

Here are the first 6 of the 60 activities for Macintosh, shown at their actual size. (JavaScript must be enabled).


These activities are all available in the demo. The interface has been designed for users of any age or experience. Menus are hidden as all functions are linked to the screen buttons - no complex options or preferences to set up. This allows the teacher to keep track of exactly what each student is working on.

The program also includes a visual index of every activity for teacher planning and fast navigation to specific topics. After new concepts have been covered in their practical lessons students can use the program to consolidate new aural and theory knowledge.

The program runs on any Macintosh computer from System 7.1 to 10.3.9.
