Hearing Music Software, by Morton Subotnick. Viva Media (580 Broadway,
New Fork, NY 10012), 2004. $29.99. Beginners.
Hearing Music, the latest educational software by composer Morton Subomick, is an introductory ear-training program for students ages 5 and up. While the program is not as comprehensive as other ear-training software such as Auralia, Hearing Music's careful design and quality content make it a very attractive choice as an introduction to ear training for very young beginners.

The "Comparing" section features exercises where the student must decide whether two musical phrases sound the same or different, slower or faster, backwards or inverted. The matching section ...
