EarMaster Essential will challenge all trained and untrained ears - it is for all vocalists and musicians playing guitar, piano, bass, drums, flute or any other instrument.

Musicians of all levels will learn to identify, transcribe and play intervals, chords and rhythms. User-defined on-screen interfaces for every musician include: staff, multiple-choice, piano, guitar, bass, violin, cello and more. EarMaster Essential will teach you to connect sounds with theory with interval comparison and identification drills, chord recognition and transcriptions, as well as rhythm reading exercises.

Exercises will give you instant feedback on your responses and create detailed statistics of your progress. The complexity will increase as you progress. Each exercise will improve different areas of your musical ear!

EarMaster Essential will be released in June 2009 and will be available at computer and retail music stores nationwide with an estimated retail price of $29.95. The CD-ROM will be a hybrid for both Windows (98, 2000, Me, XP and Vista) and Macintosh (OS X 10.4.11+, Intel and Power PC) platforms.
