Music History Software Reinforces Mastery Learning
New Release Valuable to Homeschoolers, Teachers
The Baroque Era of Musical Composition, Alarice Multimedia’s most recent software release, finally delivers what’s been missing in the genre of multimedia learning applications: affordable, high-quality, educationally sound music history lessons. Designed to meet the needs of public school teachers, private music teachers, and parents home schooling their children, this new software teaches to multiple learning styles. Suitable for high-level fifth graders, The Baroque Era is sophisticated enough for adults. And at a base price of $15, it’s within the reach of almost anyone with computer access.
Guided by tested pedagogical methods, Rush and Ferguson designed the lessons on the principles of mastery learning. Students progress into higher levels of the lesson only after scoring 80% or better on the multimedia exams delivered after each chapter.
Fully interactive and taking advantage of multiple learning styles, The Baroque Era of Musical Composition explains the major composers, ideas, and concepts prevalent in this important period of musical history. Lessons are clearly written and feature full-screen art, original Baroque-Era midi files by Dr. Rush and Dr. Donald Conflenti (a Julliard alumnus) and hands-on activities to aid learning. Registered users receive five multimedia exams, a concept reinforcement program, Performance Tracker (grade book) software, and a lifetime guarantee.
