Music Concepts and Definitions
Listen Hear – award winning software!
Here’s the best CD-ROM we have found in helping anyone interested in understanding the nuts and bolts music. 500 years of music from Renaissance to Reggae –absolutely packed with the right kind of information on composition, style, technique, form and theory. The real winner though is that Listen Hear also has a recording, and often a score, to back up every musical concept/term listed.
Well over 200 concepts are covered of all the musical terms you would expect to find in every music exam from Grade 1 Theory to A level music- and beyond. Not only do all students benefit from this beautifully written library of information, scores and music clips-but teachers also. No more trying to find recordings of music to identify style and techniques etc, in the music class. Simply look up the term you want in alphabetical order-and it’s there instantly- a full explanation, often with a score, sometimes with a video clip, and always with a recording.
Another excellent attribute of Listen Hear is that many of the scores have a guide timeline – for students who maybe struggle a bit with reading music. There are also around 80 multi choice questions that are built in to the various concepts – again reflecting typical questions likely to come in the Listening sections of certificate exams.
Finally, after conquering the 227 concepts – you go to part two. This is six pieces of music-fully scored-again with timeline. Now the concept words appear actually in the music so you can see them at work-instantly understanding their meaning in the context of the music. Automatic page turns, and extremely good and simple design make Listen Hear by far the best of its class.
Listen Hear has enjoyed much praise from music teachers and musicians around the country – and in our opinion is an absolute must in the classroom and at home for all musicians who want to get ahead of the game!
