eMedia Music Theory Tutor Volume 2

Understanding music theory helps you to compose better, improvise easier, and learn music by ear more effectively. Music Theory Tutor Volume 2 delivers over 200 lessons to teach more advanced areas of music theory and builds on the lessons found in Music Theory Tutor Volume 1.

Learn about the construction of augmented and seventh chords; harmonic, melodic, and natural minor scales; modes; musical keys; the Circle of Fifths; phrasing; and more about melodic/harmonic relationships and cadences.

An Intelligent Practice feature acts an instructor would, by analyzing your responses and skill levels and providing an individualized practice program to help you improve weak areas. Images, audio, interactive quizzes, and examples make learning music theory easier than ever. Many lessons let you enter pitches simply by humming, singing, or playing your instrument into the computer's microphone. Tap rhythms, sing back melodies, guess intervals, and much more.

Music Theory Tutor shows you when you are playing or singing the correct pitches in a lesson and lets you see your progress. Gain confidence as you pass quizzes at the end of each subject and at the end of every grade level completion.
