"The Music Box" provides computer users with the ability to improve
their listening skills without the help of another person.  
Traditionally, ear training has required at least two people, 
one to play the dictation and one to take the dictation 
(write it down).  With "The Music Box", you can practice 
intervals, triads, sevenths, rhythms, scales, modes and 
melodies by using the computer.  

"The Music Box" allows you to configure the 
dictation sequences from the easiest melody to the most 
complex.  Beginners or advanced music students, 
children or adults will all find a setting that 
is correct for them. You dont even need music paper, you 
can take dictation by pointing and clicking on the screen 
as the computer plays. If you prefer music paper, the program 
will print a sheet for you. Version 2.7, adds many new features,
including inversions for triads and sevenths, a visible metronome
and much more!
