MusicGoals Eye and Ear

MusicGoals Eye and Ear is a collection of sixty-two activities that drill the elements of music minus rhythm on the instrument, on the staff, and by ear. It is a practice partner that speeds up music lessons because it breaks down complex skills into basic parts. It uses an ever changing instrument and staff that will zoom in on a different portion with almost every drill. By removing the element of rhythm, the activities focus on easy to master skills and progress is made quickly.


There are pre-planned courses for piano, guitar, violin, viola, cello, and bass. There are routines that focus on reading, ear training, comprehensive, and self directed study. By combining related activities, the elements of music are connected by what you hear, what you see in staff notation, and how you play your instrument.


MusicGoals Rhythm

Work on rhythm alone with one and two part rhythms using play along, repeat after, reading, and dictation activities. You will:

  • learn rhythmic notation,
  • gain precise timing and coordination,
  • master reading complex rhythms,
  • learn to write rhythms that you hear.

Both programs record progress and scores for each student. They offer pre-planned courses that can be started at any level. They also offer the ability to customize any drill to meet more specific needs.

Together the MusicGoals programs build aural and performance skill while developing a firm understanding of notation and music theory. Each skill is isolated so that it can be developed independently. Areas of weakness are revealed and efficiently mastered. Skills are quickly mastered in small steps.

With MusicGoals you:

  • work at your own pace,
  • see progress and scores,
  • review mistakes,
  • adjust to keep it challenging,
  • get results with focused effort,
  • reach your musicianship goals.
