How to create custom exercises?

Post by rshark »

I just bought a personal subscription for EM7. My main reason of subscribing was to create custom exercises for sight-singing to improve my vocals.

I can't seem to find a way to create customized exercises for sight singing.

Also, is there a way I can import MIDI files and use them for sight singing exercises as well?

Hi,

Yes you can do that. In the home screen, choose "Customized Exercise" and then "Melodic Sight-SInging on the next screen.

You will then be able to set up a custom sight-singing exercise.

It is not possible to import MIDI files but MusicXML files, which is a format that most notation software can output (Sibelius, Finale, Musescore, Dorico, etc.). To import MusicXML files into EarMaster, open the Music Library form the FILE menu at the top of your screen, and then click on the "Import MusicXML button". Once imported into the Music library, the new scores will be available to use in custom exercises alongside the 600+ built-in scores. Here's how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJEv1F96LqM (the video shows an example with Melodic Dictation, bt it works exactly the same way with sight-singing).

If you have MIDI files that you would really like to use, you can open them in your notation software (or recording software like Logic, Cubase, Protools, Reaper, etc.), then export the music as MusicXML so that it can be used in EarMaster. Notice however that the notation might look different from one notation software to another, as they'll have to interpret freely the MIDI notes in your files.
