Theory & Resources
Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory Software, composed by Andrew Surmani, Karen Farnum Surmani, and Morton Manus, is an award-winning theory software that helps to teach students everything they need to know about music theory. Each unit includes randomized exercises, ear training and graded reviews. With this software, music teachers can use narration and animation through lessons, exercises, games, tests and ear training with recordings of a variety of acoustic instruments to motivate students while strengthening musical skills. It allows educators to completely customize lessons, tests, images, and even sound files of music theory concepts. A complete glossary of musical terms and symbols with written definitions, pronunciations and visual/aural examples is also included.
