With 41 topics, Auralia is by far the most comprehensive ear training package! Auralia's drill based teaching is a fun and easy way to use your computer for ear training. Auralia leads you through a variety of graded exercises, and presents instant feedback. All of your results are recorded, and you may sing or play your answers using your microphone or MIDI keyboard. Auralia is suitable for both classical and contemporary musicians of any age and ability!
Ease of Use
Auralia has a simple and friendly interface. Because Auralia is a teaching program designed to help you improve your ear, you shouldn’t have to learn how to use it!
The main screen of Auralia opens up with five large panels, each signifying a group of topics or modules. Individual topics are accessed using the text buttons underneath.
Suitable for all ages
Auralia is suitable for all ages and abilities. Each topic has a system of levels that are progressively graded, allowing beginners and advanced students to realize their full potential in the shortest possible time.
Musicians of all backgrounds can use Auralia. It doesn't matter if you are a classical pianist, jazz drummer or rock guitar player. Auralia's wide variety of topics will allow you and your students to focus on particular area(s) of ear training, whilst obtaining valuable exposure to other non familiar areas of music recognition.
To help you achieve as much as you possibly can, each topic has an accompanying lessons screen. These screens explain the content of each topic, and give hints and tips. Where relevant, you may also play examples to further assist your understanding.
Using the Drills
Each of Auralia's 41 topics has its own drill screen, allowing you to focus on the subject at hand with no distractions! All of the topics are interactive; some may ask you to tap back a rhythm using your spacebar or MIDI keyboard whilst others may simply require you to select a multiple choice answer. There is also an on-screen keyboard for those who don't have a MIDI keyboard. For guitar players, an on-screen guitar fretboard is included!
Wherever possible, microphone input is utilized, in topics such as Interval Singing. This operates without any special hardware; you simply need to plug a microphone into your soundcard. As well as having countless educational benefits, these 'microphone topics' make using Auralia even more fun!
Syllabus Specific Content
Auralia can now be configured to support multiple syllabi. A separate level structure can be created in each topic for any particular syllabus. Auralia 3.5 comes with its own syllabus, as well as the older level structure for Auralia 2.1. Extra syllabi can easily be added to the system using the Syllabus Editor.
Intervals & Scales
The Intervals and Scales topic area has 8 topics. They range from simple interval comparison through to jazz scale singing.
Chords
The Chords topic area has 8 topics, covering individual chord recognition, chord singing, cluster chords and jazz chords. Using this topic area, your chord recognition skills will accelerate extremely quickly!
Rhythm
The Rhythm topic area contains 8 topics, each of which is concerned with reading notes from a score or recognizing the meter and pulse of a rhythmic example.
Harmony & Form
The Harmony and Form topic area tests a student’s ability to recognize harmonic progressions and musical forms.
Pitch & Melody
The Pitch and Melody topic area tests a student’s ability to recognize and recall individual notes and melodic lines. Tuning is also covered.
Create customized tests
Auralia allows you to setup an unlimited number 'tests', or customized learning tasks. As a teacher, student or parent, you define the contents of tests, and you may use any number of questions from any syllabus and any topic.
The Professor
As you work through Auralia, 'The Professor' can guide you, advising when to move up and down through the levels. 'The Professor' will also give you detailed summaries of your results as you require them.
The Professor will guide you (or your students!) through the various levels of Auralia and you may customize The Professor to suit your own particular teaching style. The Professor becomes active once a student reaches certain thresholds.
For example, The Professor will only advise students to move up a level once a certain percentage of questions are answered correctly, and there is also a minimum number of questions that must be attempted before The Professor will activate.
Record Keeping
Auralia will record all your results! As you work through Auralia's topics, your results will all be safely recorded on your computers hard disk. You may then examine your results on screen or print them out.
Recording of results will also work across your network, giving teachers great flexibility with class placement (Multi User License or multiple copies required). Network support allows a central database to be used, reducing administration time, and allowing for easy backups. Students can also use any workstation that Musition is installed on, with the knowledge that their results will be stored in their central file safely.
Networking Auralia
If you have more than one PC, and have purchased a Multi User License, Lab Pack or multiple single copies, it’s encouraged that you install Auralia on your network. This will allow to you have centralized databases of all your students, classes, tests, syllabus settings and results.
Please note Auralia 3.5 does NOT share data with Musition 2.0. The Student Edition of Auralia 3.5 cannot be networked.
