Musipedia added to Orchestra Toolbar

We've added a new resource to the SEK Symphony Toolbar. Click on the toolbar "links", then "Practice Helps" to find the Musipedia melody search page. Along with the online tuner and metronome sites, the Musipedia will help you with your studies by allowing you to pin down those melodies you can't identify.

You may use your mouse with a piano keyboard interface, or using the "Parsons code", you may locate a melody using the melodic contour.

Other features? Search by rhythmic contour by tapping them out at the computer keyboard, play into your computer's microphone, or use the mouse to draw notes on a staff.

There is also a link on their page to a site called "Melodyhound" which you should also try. Experiment and let us know which ones you like the best!
