- EarPower - Copyright (c) 1996-1999 by Nick Baciu @ Fast&Soft.
- ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
-
- This program has been designed to be used as a daily routine
- in improving the natural ear for music.
- Music students should know how important ear training
- is for their development. Also experienced professionals
- still need to stay in shape, especially with the rhythm.
- Even those not interested in music should realize that a
- "tone-deaf" ear will somehow affect their personality as a
- whole.
- Easy to use, you don't need to waste time "navigating"
- around. Quickly access the four sections: Melody, Rhythm ,
- Intervals and Harmony, and perform some drills. On the Melody
- section you can select from the menu an instrument or the
- microphone for voice training.
- An excellent toy, turn it any way you like and you'll find more
- and more ways to train your musical abilities.
- It works as a daily "pill", a 10 minutes warm -up
- session is quite enough.
