A companion program named Digital Music Mentor can be used to store a digital recording of student performance on a Windows PC hard drive. Students can then compare their performance with a model played by the teacher. This program has been used successfully by private teachers and school music teachers alike. The ECS Music Tuner offers fast, automatic note sensing in real time with a broad chromatic range and a special transpose function for various instruments. This final technology marries audio technology with computer graphics technology.
Students can stop or start the CD at any point they choose with immediate computer response.
Already computer firms are announcing 300 to 1000 Mhz computer processors. Graphics and video capabilities are improving as are internet resources for the teacher. To stay tuned to current and future events, teachers are advised to regularly visit publishers and manufactures web sites. ECS will continue to develop music software for teachers and students which meets the highest standards using the latest available technology.
