4.0 out of 5 stars Great new book for individualized study of ear training, October 2, 2001

By 

Jay W. Lehmann (Laney College, Oakland, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Music for Ear Training: CD-ROM and Workbook (Paperback)

This book is a required text for classes I teach at Laney College and at the Jazz school in Berkeley, Ca. It is a great book for beginners and intermediate students who wish to obtain computer assisted literature. The CD is very user friendly and works very well on both MAC and PC.(I have tried both.) The only draw back I have seen so far is the lack of study of modal scales in the first chapter. Other wise this is a very fine text and CDROM

1.0 out of 5 stars BUYERS BEWARE!!, June 9, 2005

This review is from: Music for Ear Training: CD-Rom and Workbook (Paperback)

This ISBN # is for the INSTRUCTOR edition. If you are a student, you DO NOT need this edition. It doesn't tell you anywhere on this page that it is the instructor edition. In fact, the ad leads you to believe it is for students. This is INCORRECT. DO NOT buy this edition if you are a student who needs this book for class.

This review is from: Music for Ear Training (with CD-ROM) (Spiral-bound)

Great book but the CD is not certified to run on Windows Vista. Basically the book is useless without the CD. -_- Amazon need to label that on the item description.
