Learning to hear written music in your head should be no harder than learning to hear written words in your head. In other words, its not easy, but not as impossible as some people think.

By gradually building up your note vocabulary you are able to hear written music. This program starts off in the singing range of children so that they are able to use their first and best intrument their voice while using their all important ears to make sure theyre reading correctly.
Each child learns differently so there are many variations that can be chosen to help them learn.
* Listening to notes Sung
