Ear Training: A Technique for Listening w/ Audio CD

Rating:
Summary: Awful
Review: This is NOT designed for individual study! Buyer beware! I bought this rather expensive book thinking this would be a great resource for review before I take graduate school placement exams ... wrong!! The accompanying CD has examples played on a synthesizer, and they DO NOT follow the progression of the book as one would seem logical. The CD includes ONE set, or "transcription" for each unit, and does not have ANY of the examples from the book recorded onto it AT ALL. In addition, these transcriptions seems to be mainly of a synthesizer or of a guitar (and synthesizer). This is not really suited for serious college music students, at least (I am guessing) without the teacher edition. Now, after having written my name in the front cover, I suppose I will have to try to track down a teacher ed. IMHO, this was a big waste of money.
