Alfred's Interactive Musician
© 2004 Alfred Publishing
Designed to drill the skills of any instrumentalist this package of structured tutorials includes a student management system that can track an entire class of individual students, assuming they each sign in. The program comes in both a student and a teacher version ($100), and is organized into three chapters: pitch, sight and rhythm. It helps to have a MIDI device hooked up to your computer in order to do many of the exercises. The content, scope and sequence of the lessons are carefully structured, making this useful for home schooling or for music students who need a structured lesson regime. Uses QuickTime 6.0 which is a bit of a pain to install.
$40, Win 98, Win XP; Mac OS9, Mac OSX (23 MB of hard disk space)
