dynamic signs, tempo markings and articulation.The range and scope of the material is pretty comprehensive: Each lesson consists of a handful of specific learning points displayed without fuss yet not lacking in simple, purposeful visual appeal too. Each Volume into six Units each Unit contains four or five lessons, half a dozen or so ear training and text-based exercises and your results. The course is divided into three Volumes. Administration lets you see the activity logs of everyone (including yourself) who is using and has used the system, and how, for how long and with what (quantitative) success… exercise scores.Maintenance: administration of profiles, students and classes/groups – a comprehensive way to set up, oversee, control and track progress.Customization: of the lessons you take the lesson plan(s) which you construct (a very useful feature) of the syllabus and subject/topic libraries you wish to include the musical terms you wish to add and work with and of the selection and order of tests you can also choose between languages: (North) American, British and Australian.Getting Started leads to three further areas of the site: an introductory tutorial (which wasn't working at the time of this review, nor was onscreen Help) a few paragraphs about "Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory Version 3 CD-ROM", on which this site is based, and which is based in turn on their popular book and credits.
Curriculum: three submenus take you to the lessons themselves, where you're likely to spend most of your time a "View Glossary of Terms" page and one to view (your students') test scores.When you first visit the login page you get a random snippet of music (which you can silence, and which vanishes anyway once you proceed) as a teacher, you then have access to the main menu. And certainly as a good introduction for anyone starting out who is used to interactive learning online or those who merely want to explore music theory this way. It will surely suit many users: perhaps as a refresher for those who once knew enough about music theory to be dangerous and want to revise. There is, however, a wealth of well-organized and useful material on the site. As a minimum, it's necessary to have a teacher's subscription ($129.99 annually) in order for even a single student to access the material – at $19.99 annually.
ALFREDS MUSIC PUBLISHING SERIES
Their well-established and popular Essentials of Music Theory series has recently become available as an interactive resource and is well worth a look.Īlfred's EMT Web is a subscription-based product designed to run on any browser with Flash. The media on which these courses can now be found include paper-based, CD, DVD, mobile apps – and now online. These range from basic to advanced and include quite specialized instruction on many aspects of music.
ALFREDS MUSIC PUBLISHING SOFTWARE
Because you may find it easier to be "taught" visually and with sounds, or may consider the kind of in depth treatment found in books intimidating, and/or because you may thrive on interactivity and cross-referencing, software – specifically, online tutorials – could well prove more likely to work for you.Ĭalifornia-based Alfred Music Publishing has a substantial portfolio of books on music and music theory. Music theory can be a very technical area. To take it more seriously and discover more can be both time consuming and potentially frustrating. A small amount of solid music theory is both relatively easy to acquire and extremely helpful in understanding the way classical music works.
