EarMaster Pro and EarMaster School ear training software CD-ROMs are from EarMaster APS. These are software-training courses to develop you ear--your musical ear. Becoming an accomplished musician or singer requires the development of an ear to recognize melodies, identify notes, intervals, chords, modes and all other important music elements. Good ear training makes this possible.

EarMaster Pro includes 651 training lessons for recognizing and transcribing intervals, chords, scales, rhythms and melodies. You can interact by using the staff or the onscreen instruments: piano, guitar, bass, violin, cello, banjo and others. EarMaster Pro provides detailed statistics on your progress and even allows you to create your own customized exercises.

EarMaster School is the educational version of EarMaster Pro. It is an easy to use, interactive and powerful tool for teaching ear training at all skill levels. The learn-by-doing teaching approach allows students to develop a better musical ear. EarMaster School includes all of the features and exercises in EarMaster Pro but goes further. It allows you to create custom class lessons using the tutor editor and supports progress tracking with multiple users across a network. The networking feature allows for easy implementation in the classroom or computer lab. Multi-user lab packs and site licenses are also available for classroom, school and district implementation.

EarMaster Pro is $69.95 while EarMaster School sells for $129.95. Both CD-ROMs are compatible with Windows 98 SE, 2000 and XP and for much more information, contact www.emediamusic.com.
