Tour of Auralia 4
Solfege, Piano and Guitar Input
Many topics in Auralia allow you to enter your answer using our onscreen controllers. These are turned on by default in most syllabi, but can be easily disabled via the Syllabus levels, or at a Class level if need be.
Solfege
Auralia now features an onscreen Solfege controller. This exciting new feature allows students to enter their answers using Solfege note names (Do, Re, Mi, Fa etc) as well as allowing for questions to be displayed on the Solfege controller.
Fixed Do and two variants of Movable Do are supported, with a customised syllabus being supplied for each of the three variations. To further integrate the Solfege controller, many topics have been extensively modified and customised and musical notation now also supports the placing of Solfege note names underneath notes.
This allows students to see their correct and incorrect answers in two ways, using both traditional notation and Solfege note names. Students can of course still easily playback the question and their answer to complete the theory and aural link.
If required, the names of the Solfege syllables can be changed via the syllabus options screen.
