• Best I've tried

  AlexicutionerAugust 28, 2008

  Pros

  It works. It's an excellent program with enough features and options to challenge musicians of different instruments (guitar myself) and reading skills. You can cater the drills to your level and what you need to work on from beginner to advanced.

  Cons

  It took a week to get the email for the unlock codes. The notes on the staff sometimes are outside of the fret range/position limit I set for guitar. It's a minor gripe/bug that you can just skip that note for though and it's usually just one note.

  Summary

  I've tried lots of free and trial music training/reading software and I've never been compelled to continue using them or pay for a full version. This is one is so well thought out and challenging for any level of musician that it is worth buying. From beginner to very advanced this program can help you read better. The product itself is as close to perfect as I'd like other than the one bug I mentioned. But, it really is a small annoyance having to press the "skip" button every so often. My biggest annoyance was with how slow the company was to respond to my intent to purchase. Their site says approximately 2 business days. A week just seems lazy on their part.

  Pros

  Very well thought out and works perfectly with MIDI keyboard. I went ahead and purchased the pro version. It was a bargain for everything the program can do.

  Cons

  Nothing. If you are learning to read music, this is the program to buy.

• Outstanding Software. Perfect way to learn to read notes.

  Pros

  Let me start this way. In the last 8 years I've downloaded hundreds of programs from download.com. This is the ONLY ONE that I have purchased. <p> <p>This program teaches you to read notes in the bass and treble cleff. You can pick a range of notes that you want to practice so that you don't have to try to learn too many notes at once. <p> <p>This program has a ton of features that you can read about in the description, but I really didn't need to use any of the other features. <p> <p>If you are learning to read music, this program will do an outstanding job of teaching you to read the notes.

  Cons

  Note that this program teaches you to read notes. It does not teach you other aspects of sheet music, such as note duration (whole note, half note, etc), chords, or any other indicators on sheet music. I do not view this as a drawback, because this program makes clear that it's just to help you learn to read the notes. <p> <p>Here are some features that I would like to see added, but please understand that this program is great even without these features. <p> <p>1) It would be nice if the program offered an option to show different notes in different colors as well as black. This could help in the initial learning of notes and could be turned off as a user got better in their ability to read notes. One thing about learning is that the more multimedia that you can make it, the quicker it happens. <p> <p>2) I'd like to see a note preview feature that showed what the next note coming up will be. In music, reading ahead is an essential skill. This program could help users acquire that skill with a note preview feature. <p> <p>3) It would be great if this company either added to this product or created a follow-on product that would offer more music reading skills, such as by chord recognition and note duration.
