---

Northfield, MN - January, 2001 - MiBAC Music Software has released MUSIC LESSONS II, Chords and Harmony, the second volume in the MUSIC LESSONS series for Windows and Macintosh computers. MUSIC LESSONS II is the most comprehensive software available for teaching and learning Chords and Harmony and follows the award winning MUSIC LESSONS I.

MUSIC LESSONS II was designed to develop all four cognitive skills essential to the study of music: visual recognition, written notation, keyboard skills, and ear training. With MUSIC LESSONS II you'll learn to NAME, WRITE, PLAY and HEAR chords!

The program's main areas of study include chord elements, triads, triads ear training, seventh chords, seventh chords ear training, and roman numeral chord identification. You can practice every drill in the Naming (visual identification), Writing (music notation), and Playing (piano and guitar) study activities. Being able to switch between the three activities at any time keeps the drills interesting while reinforcing the musical concepts you're learning. You can choose from among hundreds of different drills formed by combinations of: the six main areas of study; the Naming, Writing, and Playing activities; multiple subdrills within each main study area; multiple levels of difficulty; five clefs; and the piano and guitar instruments. You can even create your own custom drills to target specific areas of study. If you have questions, you can always consult the built in Music Theory Reference that thoroughly explains all concepts related to the drills. You can print and save detailed progress reports, tracking individual assignments or cumulative total scores for an unlimited number of users.

MUSIC LESSONS II is recommended for intermediate to advanced musicians, ages 12 and up. The program's scope and flexibility make it effective with a wide range of ages, learning styles, and educator preferences. Because of its open ended design, it's easily integrated into any school music curriculum.
