EarMaster is a music software launched in 1996 by Danish editor Miditec, who changed its name to EarMaster ApS in 2005. The first prototype version of the software was DOS-based, but since 1996, it has continuously evolved with the Microsoft Windows OS. In November 2008, EarMaster became multi-platform with the release of a version for Mac OS X. The main focus of EarMaster is ear training, even though EarMaster seems to tend towards a more general approach to music teaching since v. 4.0, covering a broader spectrum of music theory and practice. Three editions of EarMaster exist: Earmaster Essential, EarMaster Pro (standard version), and EarMaster School (educational version). == Content == EarMaster 5.0 is composed of 3 training modes: two sets of lessons called “tutors”, and a customization mode. While the first tutor (called “standard tutor”) is rather general and its lessons focus on most of the aspects of ear training, the second tutor is exclusively focusing on the particularities of Jazz music (e.g. jazz chords and swing rhythms). With the customization mode the user can define custom lessons i.e. the content of each exercise. The disciplines covered by EarMaster 5.0 are interval singing, interval comparison, interval identification, scale identification, chord identification, chord inversion identification, chord progression identification, rhythm dictation, rhythm reading (sight reading), rhythm imitation, rhythm correction and melodic dictation. Questions are answered with on-screen interfaces (staff, piano, guitar, bass, violin, cello, banjo and several other string instruments), a multiple choice option, a MIDI instrument, or through a microphone (voice, clapping or acoustic instruments). Notes are named in EarMaster using either the Anglo-Saxon note naming system (A, B, C, etc.), or Solfege (Movable Do and Fixed Do, using the syllables: Do, Re, Mi, etc.), which makes it compatible with the Kodály method. The results of each lesson are recorded and analyzed in a statistics window, and can be exported as a data file to the teacher by email, if used in an educational environment for example. The statistics are also used in the High Score board of the program. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「EarMaster」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
