Music Ace Maestro
Great theory learning program available for purchase as 1 or 2 separate programs or as 1 all-inclusive teacher’s addition.
Teach the Teacher July
Theory GamesTheory learning program that corresponds with the Alfred Piano method. Also works well for specific assignments.
Teach the Teacher July
Interactive MusicGreat for younger learners. Creative characters take them through games and activities centered around classic compositions.
Teach the Teacher July
Piano WizardA program that teaches students how to play the piano
by matching colors and rhythms and eventually progresses to full Grand Staff Music Reading. Great for students who don’t normally play the piano as
their main instrument as well
as current piano students.
Teach the Teacher July
GroovyStudents use shapes and pictures
to compose songs. They can also
do ear training activities as well as
view their composition in full musical
score. Great for young and old and
a favorite among all of my students.
Teach the Teacher July
AuraliaThis is a more advanced
program specifically used for beginning to advanced vocalists but can be used with any advanced instrumental student. A challenging ear-training program but very worth the cost.

• Ear Master Pro (as suggested by teachers on the web-call)
This is another program that was suggested
by teachers on the web-call. This
program includes over 400 lessons as
well as 200 jazz lessons. Also has the
capability of adding your own exercises.
Teach the Teacher July
Meet the MusiciansThis is a great video series. It works
well for small group or individualized sessions. I will split the video and have students watch the 2 acts across 2 separate lessons. I like it because it not only talks about a composers music but also gives students personal information that the students find relatable.

This program requires an on-line subscription for teachers. Each teacher enrolls his/her students and they can access the program from home. I have used this as part of the lab time as well as at-home assignments. You can add fun competition to your studio by having students compete on one game for the week and then reward the highest scorer.
• Musictheory.net (free program suggested by teachers on the web-call)
This program is available freeon line. It is also availableto be printed out. Several Take-Lessons instructors recommended this one. This would not be a good
program for individualized work for non-readers but for anyone else I think that it would be a wonderful addition!
