Travel guides on your iPod, music, movies, podcasts, e-books, language programs ….. so many things to carry on our iPods.
BUT if only I had this sort of fun-techno tool to learn my music theory back in my youth!
I love my iPod/s and so I was particularly interested to read about iTheory, from Duke University.
iTheory is a beginning music theory ear-training program for the iPod which allows on-the-go users to practice interval recognition, scale recognition, chord recognition, and perfect pitch. This program is a complex network of over 600 interactive text notes with links to over 200 audio clips. All iPods with the Notes feature – 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation iPods, as well as the iPod mini and iPod nano – are able to use iTheory.
Grab more information and instructions from iTheory and download iTheory Notes and iTheory Sounds. “ya gotta love it”

Great find!
Here’s something else I wish had been available when I was a kid:

It’s the Tam Tam music editor being readied for the One Laptop Per Child project. With luck, a couple hundred million children will one day be able to learn about music using it.
Maybe this will convince the powers that be to let my buy some iPods for our music department! 🙂
