Rhythm--It's Easy is a book/software program which enables your computer to become your music teacher........$39.95? (That's only $0.29 per duet.)
THE COMPUTER AS DUET PARTNER AND TEACHER
*** Improve your musical rhythmic-reading and ensemble playing skills, with a new method book called RHYTHM-IT'S EASY.
*** The book presents rhythm in a methodical manner, and it comes with it's own simple MIDI sequencing program.
*** The 139 duets are usable for all treble clef orchestral/band instruments, or guitar, recorder, or keyboards. The software is as easy to operate as a cassette player.
*** Put the disk into your computer and you have a perfect duet partner for any of 139 duets - to be played at any tempo, and in a variety of keys.
*** The playback key of all duets can be changed in one simple motion to accomodate transposing instruments such as clarinets, French Horns, saxophones, etc., and either voice can be muted.
*** Rhythm - It's Easy can be used to improve technical, rhythmic and sightreading skills, to improve group (ensemble) playing skills by developing awareness of the other voice, or, when played back at a very slow tempo, as a tuning aid.
James Decker, Hollywood studio musician (1,000+ films) and professor of French Horn at the
U. of So. Calif. writes:
"This book and computer disk should be in every classroom where music is taught."
Dr. Bruce Benward, Professor of Music at the Univ. of Wisconsin, writes:
"Your program is ingenious; congratulations!"
The price is right - $39.95 for the 310 page method book and the program disk. Current version is for the Mac, but the publisher will provide IBM formatted MIDI files for the 139 duets, to be used with an IBM compatible sequencing program and a sound card, or with IBM MIDI instrumentation.
MIDI demos for both Mac and IBM may be downloaded from - ftp://server.branch.com/pub/rhythm/ (use anonymous login)
