Customer Reviews

Never received with book
I did not receive the CDs with my theory book as indicated, but I am sure it is as complete and precise as the book.

I thought this was a standalone course
I was looking for an ear training CD that I could use in the car while driving. THIS ISN'T IT. It is designed to go along with the corresponding books. Might well have been my fault, but I didn't get that from reading the synopsis.

This may be a great course, but I don't know because I don't have the books.

SUPERLATIVE complements to a Superlative Learning Tool

I have the essentials of music CD set, which is an interactive edition of their three-volume set, with exercises and some ear-training.

These authors need to be applauded for their dedicated labors.

I take exception to the INVALID comment of the last reviewer who is basically saying these CD's are not good because these CD are not what he wants ! This is reasoning at its absolute worst !
