Can your book do this?
Has this ever happened to you? You head to your local print music shop and ask the guy behind the counter for a good book of songs or exercises for your instrument. He doesn’t actually play, but he steers you to the appropriate section and makes a few suggestions for you to thumb through. You recognize a familiar melody and a couple of exercises that look ‘playable’. You’re thinking ‘Page 15 has a scale I need to learn – can I buy just this page?’ You finally make your choice, purchase the entire book and head home. You get your instrument ready to play and then…the questions begin.
I already know some of this stuff; do I need to start from the beginning?
Am I playing this note right?
How is this rhythm supposed to sound?
Can I contact the publisher for help?
These are some of the questions we’ve tried to address by adding several levels of support to the MusickEd software. The Support Center is easily accessible via our product. Finally, you can get the answers and help you need in an instant. We know that your book can’t do this!
