“What I like best about MUSIC LESSONS II is the way it integrates all four areas of musical learning into one program. It develops the ability to recognize chords visually, write chords in notation, play chords on a piano or guitar, and identify chords by listening. It’s the most comprehensive program available for teaching and learning chords and harmony,” said MiBAC president John Ellinger.
