Description

Building on the solid foundation laid in the first volume, this downloadable version of eMedia Music’s Music Theory Tutor Volume 2 for Windows features over 200 lessons on intermediate to advanced theory. Images, audio, and interactive tests are incorporated into the curriculum along with practical theory. The Intelligent Practice mode offers optimized, individualized practice sessions by analyzing your responses and skill levels and targeting weak areas needing improvement.Learn about the construction of augmented and seventh chords, as well as harmonic, melodic, and natural minor scales. Examine modes, musical keys, the circle of fifths, phrasing, and more about melodic/harmonic relationships and cadences. Additionally, learn how to analyze chord function and understand chord progression theory, complex time signatures, and syncopation to help you write and perform music better than before.Music Theory Tutor Vol. 2 shows you when you are playing or singing with the correct pitch and lets you see your progress. Many lessons let you enter pitches simply by humming, singing, or playing your instrument into the computer’s microphone. Enjoy the ability to tap rhythms and sing back melodies, in addition to guessing intervals and much more. Gain confidence as you pass each music theory quiz at the end of a subject, and ace the exams at the end of every grade-level completion.
  • Teaches music theory with a step-by-step curriculum designed by Dr. Gregory Simon, who has a Ph.D. in music composition from University of Michigan and has taught at University of Colorado
  • Combines music theory lessons and ear training in one course, helping you compose, improvise, and learn more easily and effectively
  • Employs graphics, interactive tests, and sound to make learning easier and more enjoyable
  • Intelligent Practice offers optimized, individualized practice sessions by analyzing your responses and skill levels and targeting weak areas needing improvement. Tracks your progress and selects questions that help you learn and get better. Tap out the answer to a rhythm question, or hum two notes to identify an interval. Sing the notes in a melody, or play them on your instrument
  • Lets you view scores for each music theory quiz and other statistics to measure your progress
  • Provides rhythm lessons in counting and recognition of triplets, complex time signatures (3/8, 6/4, 5/4, 7/4, 5/8, and 7/8), and syncopation. Teaches you how intervals define scales and chords, and how chord cadence and inversions affect chord progressions
  • Offers interactive music theory lessons for learning major and minor key signatures and the circle of fifths
  • Training exercises enable your ear to recognize harmonic intervals, minor scale types, modes, and augmented and 7th chords
  • Includes lessons on harmonic, melodic, and natural minor scale construction and modes
  • Chord theory lessons cover construction and recognition of chords, including inversions
  • Lessons on chord progression theory cover chord function and cadence within progressions (tonic, dominant, subdominant, etc.), as well as Roman numeral (I, IV, V, etc.) and figured bass notation, chord substitutions, phrasing, passing, and pedal tones
  • Harmonic flowchart, major, minor, and two-voice harmony studies
  • Lessons and exercises in musical form and analysis (binary, ternary, rondo, phrasing, etc.) help you better understand composition
  • Solfege studies, with arpeggio and sight-singing, teach you to hear music in your head – so you’ll know how a composition sounds simply by seeing the sheet music
