“Learning to read music”–software recommendation

September 8, 2011 by Myra Vassian

I have not yet used this software–but have ordered it and will report back.  It seems to be a step up from the “true beginner” software, Music Ace, that I reviewed in a previous post.  Stay tuned–but if you already use this software and want to comment–please do so!  (There’s a free trial version by the way)

Less expensive and with very good reviews is another product:

Sometimes the terms “ear training” and “sight singing” (learning how to read music) are used interchangeably.  Both of these software programs deal with both, training the ear to hear musically AND helping you to learn to read rhythms and notation accurately.

    I bought the program Ear Master 5 and in less than a month I can already discern some of the music intervals. It’s a great program for people who doesn’t know how to read music for a start.

      Thanks for that review, Corinne–I’ve checked into the free trial and find this program a terrific option for those who are determined to get ahead in learning to read music and in hearing intervals and matching pitches. Myra

    Corinne, I just came upon your comment about the Ear Mast 5 CD(I know its kind of late), but I am going to try it. Thanks for the info, both You and Myra. Mary
