More Thoughts on Auralia Ear Training

I've been pretty lax about writing the review of Auralia Ear Training for the Ear Training Section on Advanced Guitar Player - the truth is I've been a bit busy and what's more, it occurs to me that however good it is most Ear Training Software suffers from the same problem.

Both Auralia and EarMaster Pro are so complex and offer so many different exercises that you really need some guidance - preferably from a teacher.

The great thing about Auralia is that it sets out course pathways - an excellent resource for teachers, which also gives structure to your Ear Training practice if you're working alone.

Having come a cropper starting on the Jazz Course pathway, I've decided to learn learn the program from the bottom up and start with the the Solfege - Fixed Do Course.

This pathway provides:- Interval recognition, Interval singing and Scales from the Intervals and Scales Section, Chord Recognition and Chord Singing from the Chords Section and Pitch Dictation and Sight Singing from the Pitch and Melody Section.

I plan to work through the exercises over the coming week or so so I'll let you know how I get on!
