This review is from: Music Theory (CD-ROM)

If your interest is learning basic music theory, then don't waste your money on this silly program, which practically fails at touching even the most basic content of each of its eight lessons. The multimedia even is not taken advantage of and is so badly done that it is unnecessary. In the short glossary of terms, the audio pronunciations are badly done with trilled "r"'s. Instead, I recommend this book: "ABC of Music", also available from Amazon. Or, if you are a teacher considering this as a motivational alternative or supplement to a program such as Bastien Theory, Level 1, then skip it - the Bastien is more complete and more fun.
