Users are free to plug in a MIDI keyboard for a more realistic tutorial and can even use a microphone for voice training. The program provides some interesting special features as well. EarMaster features tutorials that teach rhythms, scales, and notes, and each was simple to learn and fun to operate. After that, users simply select one of the many tutorials along the top of the screen, listen to examples, and then try to match them on their instrument. Users are given a choice between learning on a guitar or a piano, both of which are represented by excellent images on the screen. Fortunately, there is an equally excellent Help file for any questions that arise. Learning and testing were intuitive and should not require much of a learning curve for people unaccustomed to music. Tasteful uses of colors, cartoons, and diagrams all make this look and feel like a very professional program.

This program jumps out immediately and says it's something special, thanks to its design. Utilizing a beautiful-looking and intuitive format, many users will find the mysteries of music unraveled after training with this tool.
