Hi Tom and Others,
Thank you for your response.
Ok, so I try to explain. This exercise can be called "Id the bunch of toneS" :
the student have to identify several notes and can do it by several ways.
On the Config page :
The notes to play + their weight (the same as Id-The-Tone)
The octave from -2 to +3 (the same as Id-The-Tone)
Number of notes to play : from 1 to 20 for instance
The max interval between two notes (second, third, fourth, .... to decim)
ascending or descending.
Show the first note : YES/NO
Allow to answer as soon as the note is played "allow quick answer"): YES/NO
On the exercice page, we can see the "Keyboard" (the same as Id-The-Tone) and
the buttons.
The buttons are :
"Play the sequence" => to play the entire sequence of notes.
"Play the sequence slowly" => to play the entire sequence of notes but slowly.
"Hear the last note" : to allow the student to hear the LAST note he guessed.
"Hear the next note": to allow the student to hear the NEXT note ha has to
guess.
"A440" : to allow the student to hear the A 440HZ (it can help !!)
For instance, with the following configuration :
C, D, E, F, G, A, B => weight 1 and the others (C# D#, etc) are weight 0
Octave : only 0 is selected
Number of notes to play : 10
Max interval : fourth
Show the first note : YES
Allow quick answer : NO
The program chooses randomly 10 notes between C to B in 1 octave and the max
interval is the fourth (descending and ascending). For instance, it chose : D F
E C F B A D E F
There is a indication on the exercice page : "The first note is a D" (because
the check box "Show the first note" is YES in config)
When the student click on "Play the sequence", the 10 notes are played rapidly
When the student click on "Play the sequence slowly", the 10 notes are played
slowly
As the check box "Allow quick answer", the student cannot click on the keyboard
to select note while the sequence is played, he has to wait the end of the play
(useful to improve musical memory).
At the first listening the student regognises the 3st notes after the first D
but made an error at the 4th. So he clicks on D F E C (so far all is ok) and
click G (the program show "No"). Now he has the choice : listen the entire
sequence again, or try to find the interval between the last correct note he
discovered (C) and the next note to find (F). He can also try to find the next
note to find using the A 440Hz (of course he can find the entire sequence like
this, note by note). And so on, until the entire sequence is found (unless if
he clicks on "Give Up").
If the check box "Show the first note" is NO in config, the student can use the
A 440Hz to guess the first note of the sequence.
If the check box "Allow quick answer" is YES, the student can click on the
keyboard while the sequence is played.
I hope it is clearer, and I think that thes exercice can be a very good to
improve hearing and memory.
Thanks for helping,
Vith
