rhythmic passages. Students repeat each rhythm pattern after
hearing it played. Hundreds of selections are provided at
random at each grade level. Students play in time with an
adjustable
metronome, and their recording is compared in detail
to the original rhythm. Each assessment is saved in the user
records.
-
Melody:
This activity improves the ability to retain and play back
melodic passages. Students are given the key of a short
melody,which is played twice. Students then play the melody
back in time with a metronome. Hundreds of selections are
provided at random at each grade level. Students play in
time with an adjustable metronome, and their recording is
compared in detail to the original rhythm. Each assessment

between musical intervals, and to identify them by symbol or
by notation. A random interval is played once, then
identified by the student. Various settings select: the set

Sight-Reading:
This activity develops the ability to review musical
passages and play them back accurately, "at sight". A
student is presented the notation, and is given time to
review it. The student then plays the passage, and reviews
the assessment. "Wait for Note" assessment is recommended as
step 1 for the novice. The next step is, "Notes and Timing"
assessment, referenced to an adjustable metronome. Notation
can be displayed in small, medium or large font. Several
hundred passages are presented at random at each grade
level. All student assessments are saved in the user
records. -

back.
