Hi Mario,

I do agree the program could be better for beginners and that it should have the basic instrument sounds. I think they wanted to use the midi so you could get instant feedback on how you were doing. I don’t agree that it’s expensive. Perfect pitch is twice as expensive with steep discounts. I also don’t agree it’s a “little” program. The breadth of instruction matches any product out there.

Having said that, I will say that I recommend this program mostly for musicians to sharpen their theory skills and not for the absolute beginner.

Do you have a recommendation for the beginner? What is your background?

Jeff

Negative:
It’s not a very good program for beginners.
Doesn’t have a basic note trainer.
Doesn’t even have build in instrument sounds so you have to do with those awful midi sounds.
It’s expensive for such a little program.
Positive:
Records your statistics.
Usefull for students in their 2nd or 3th year I guess
Supports fixed Do system

I am not a big fan of this kind of pop music, but J-pop is definitely better music. Thanks for your interesting blog post

I’m about two thirds of the way through this course and I can’t believe what a difference it’s made in my ability to hear and reproduce pitches, intervals and scales.

Top notch program I’d recommend to anybody looking to sharpen their musical skills and increase their enjoyment of music.
