EarMaster Pro provides users with an easy-to-follow tutorial into the world of music. Utilizing a beautiful-looking and intuitive format, many users will find the mysteries of music unraveled after training with this tool.
This program jumps out immediately and says it's something special, thanks to its design. Tasteful uses of colors, cartoons, and diagrams all make this look and feel like a very professional program. Learning and testing were intuitive and should not require much of a learning curve for people unaccustomed to music. Fortunately, there is an equally excellent Help file for any questions that arise. Users are given a choice between learning on a guitar or a piano, both of which are represented by excellent images on the screen. After that, users simply select one of the many tutorials along the top of the screen, listen to examples, and then try to match them on their instrument. EarMaster features tutorials that teach rhythms, scales, and notes, and each was simple to learn and fun to operate. The program provides some interesting special features as well. Users are free to plug in a MIDI keyboard for a more realistic tutorial and can even use a microphone for voice training. Another interesting feature were the statistics kept based on the amount of correct and incorrect answers.
The 21-day trial period should be enough time to get acquainted with the program. With a professional layout and fun tutorials, this program was a pleasure to use and will be a benefit for anyone looking to learn music.

"A Must Have For Anyone In Music Production"
Version: EarMaster Pro 5 build 630PW
Pros
I haven't had this program all that long to really give it a real good rating but from what I've seen of it and what I know from it this far it's a must have for anyone that is in the field of Music Production.
Cons
None that I can think of this far.
Summary
I like this program so much that I not only wanted to have the Professional version of it on my System that I use in Music Production I just had to have EarMaster School as well. I've been a Local Music Producer going on 3 years now and have also been trying my hands at becoming a Jazz Musician and from what this program has taught me so far I believe that I will be creating Jazz Tracks inside my Studio in no time. My Ears was more trained to making sure everything blends (Sync) well doing the first 2 days I used the program. This has gave me the want to be in the Studio more and Online less than I were. I want to be the best Music Producer and Jazz Artist there is and I look to both EarMaster Pro and School to help me accomplish that. EarMaster Pro is a must have. You can't be a Musician and not take Music Production seriously. It is helping me to help my Clients have the best Tracks out there. Besides you can't go wrong with a program that pay for it's self when you are creating hit after hit because of this program. I'm one whom like to work from the ground up. Having this program is like going to School or taking classes without having to pay a arm and leg to learn music, Something everyone should know that enjoy playing it.

It just goes through all the notes, and you play this guessing game using your ears. I had no problems running it.

"best ear trainer with a super simple interface"
Version: EarMaster Pro 4.0

the only problem i had with this program was getting to the page that gave my general lesson summary. it only has one or two help files that teach you what to listen for in ear training. but for practicing, i have not seen anything better!
