Your Teaching Assistant

EarMaster comes with a jazz tutor and a standard tutor with a total of 651 lessons. Lessons are ready to use or can offer inspiration for you to create your own lessons using the Tutor editor. For example, you can make lessons function as tests, setting time limits and many other restrictions, and insert these test-lessons in between regular lessons as often as you wish. Your custom-made tutor lessons will challenge each student individually, based on his or her performance, and they will also receive feedback instantly.

As a teacher, you can focus on the most difficult questions and concepts. You have access to live statistics on the students' performances, which gives you the opportunity to approach the students individually or in groups to work out their difficulties, while working with EarMaster.

Ear Training After Class

Students can do ear training homework lessons after class in your computer lab. You can also email your own tutor lessons to your students, so they can work with EarMaster at home. Followingly, the students can email their results to you from their home computer, or bring them to school on a storage device. You can then add the received results to your EarMaster statistics and view them together with the other users' existing and incoming results. The high score feature will motivate the students to compete and devote extra hours to ear training.
