EarMaster 7 Professional - Ear Training, Sight-Singing, Rhythm Trainer

As a well versed user, I tried about a day to get it running on Windows 7, in vain..... I saw strange symbols instead of notes. Apparently a Font problem. I then received lengthy instructions that did not help either. But from the response with the instructions I gleaned that I am not the only one who has this problem... But if so, how come, that thing is being sold without prior warning? At least for Windows, a warning seems appropriate when it comes to downloading ANY version of ear master.

I have EarMaster 5, but if I review that, nobody will see it since theres a new edition. And, since EarMaster 7 seems to be a year old, youre not going to see reviews of its effectiveness over years of use, are you?

Have to pay more to open up some programs. Need a microphone (PC microphone doesnt work)

If you plan to practice rhythm exercises with this program by tapping the screen, please do not waste money on this. It does have some serious latency problem with two different windows tablets, Surface pro and Samsung book 12.

It is not usual for me to get sad because a product I like gets less than 5 stars.

I like the way the lessons are broken up and its ability to check my singing. I can’t compare it to anything else but it sure beats the price of paying someone else to play surprise intervals and hear me sing.

This program was a blessing for me. I am an evening musician playing woodwinds and singing in a choir, with only 1 hour for daily instrumental music practicing, and- I am much better after several months of training with this software for additional 15 min/day. The benefits far outweigh the shortcomings. They keep updating it on a regular basis too. Highly recommended! A good microphone with sensitivity control is essential as otherwise the ambient noises will trigger a software response.

Has a lot of great tools for ear training
