Music Theory Software

Post by sinfonian »

I find myself going on the road for work for the next 3-6 weeks. Since I can't take my Tuba with me I thought I might put my evenings in the hotel room to good use by trying to take some Music Theory lessons. I am looking for a software program that:

1) Will refreash my Music Theory taken 20 years ago, and not fully used since then.
2) Does not insult adults.
3) Allows you to go at your own pace
4) Windows 2000 compatiable
5) Farily cheep.


If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to hear them.

Yes before anyone asks I will take a MP to buzz in my hotel room at night.

You may wish to check out http://www.easymusictheory.com.

Apparently it has garnered rave reviews from both users and educators alike.

Good luck.
