Town 4 Kids Music Lab Harmony W
Music Lab
Harmony teaches how to recognize, read and transcribe chords and
how to hear and understand harmony and harmonic progressions.
The student develops essential musical skills at progressive
achievement levels from beginner to advanced. The learning
process involves practicing real musical tasks with immediate
feedback to build success and confidence. There is no
"practicing of mistakes" since all student work is monitored
instantaneously, and remedial help, including the right answer
is always only one click of the mouse away.
MLH also offers
complete record keeping and testing for the individual, private
teacher or school. The basis for this accountability is the MLS
Harmony quiz mode, which the student may elect at any time for
each level of any module. In quiz mode, the musical problems are
exactly the same as in practice mode, but all Help is shut down
and all student work is scored and retained by the computer.
This gives the individual or teacher a reliable system for
judging student progress.
In order to
"pass off" a level of any module the student must achieve a
certain score. While a default score is provided for the teacher
as a point of reference, the individual teacher is the one who
decides the score that is to be considered "passing". The
teacher may also decide what levels of what modules are
important for that particular student at that time. It is the
teacher and student who have the ultimate control over what is
studied and how much skill is expected.
Music Lab Harmony teaches recognition of music intervals, chords
and a progressive study of harmony covering a wide range of
musical applications and situations, including the development
of keyboard harmony skills. Music Lab Harmony ( available in
Windows only) has eight interrelated units that develop
different musical skills:
MLS Harmony includes an extensive help program that offers
procedural directions, musical explanations, theory principles,
facts and examples at the click of a button. All of this
instruction and information is immediately available to the
student every instant the computer is on and MLS Harmony is
running.
