I Read Music 1.0, (2 CD-Rom set).(Product/service evaluation)
I Read Music 1.0, (2 CD-Rom set). Midisoft Music Software (24325 Crenshaw Blvd., 108, Los Angeles, CA 90505). $35. Beginning and intermediate.
I Read Music 1.0 offers theory drills in a game-like atmosphere. It comes with a bonus CD, Music Mentor, which contains an impressive amount of information ranging from music basics to history. I Read Music operates in one of four languages: English, French, German or Spanish. The Music Mentor is in English only. The software is compatible for both MACs and PCs.
The games in I Read Music are appropriate for beginning- and intermediate-level students. The drills are all in the treble clef--there are no bass clef drills.
Drills range from identifying notes and intervals, adding missing notes from chords (which are not always in root position) and identifying chords as either major or minor. The program does not go into diminished, augmented or 7th chords.
Answers are either multiple choice or made by dragging one of three dancing notes (one natural, one flat and one sharp) onto the staff. Placement of notes was a little challenging.
In the games, an aural example is played once and a visual example is given. Unfortunately, there is no way to hear an audio example a second time. This was frustrating. A scoreboard keeps track of correct answers and total examples given for each game.
