Music Education Software (Mac or Windows)

• Aquallegro – FREE aural training software for Mac OS X (I highly recommend it)
• Musical Scales – An excellent program that has all scales spelled out with related chords for FREE
• Pslams & Ragas – This tool provides ancient psalms & ragas for FREE. There is even a keyboard that plays them for you so you can see the psalm or raga demonstrated “realistically.”
• The Music Interactive – An excellent site with ‘tools that school.’ It has great rhythmic and melodic games for junior years that would work wonders with an interactive whiteboard or a very fun music teacher!
• iAnalyse – An awesome tool for adding any PDF/JPEG of score to an Mp3 and syncing the two with analysing tools, graphic scoring methods, highlighting etc. it is like having an interactive whiteboard on your laptop with the power to analyse any work and present it as a slideshow.
