Tritone Launches OSX e-Learning Applications for Music Education
New Cross Platform Performance Evaluation Engine, Javatrax 1.2
September 21, 2004

Tritone, a division of Great West Music (1987) Ltd. located in Burnaby, British Columbia is an innovator and developer of online music education services, applications and technology software. The company announces the release of its latest e-learning technologies for music education.

Today Tritone delivered the latest version of Tritone Music Series with its next-generation cross platform online music performance evaluation engine, Javatrax 1.2, and revitalized the network management system, CourseWatch.

Javatrax 1.2 reaches a new milestone for music evaluation technology in speed, smaller size, and full standard support for Windows 98, XP and Mac OSX. Javatrax 1.2 is a Java music evaluation engine that simultaneously evaluates played music for pitch, timing and expressional elements from a midi musical instrument keyboard and returns an immediate graphical response where the user made errors. A teacher retains this information as part of the Coursewatch management system for later review.

This revolutionary technology is designed to Internet-enable PC and Mac operating systems being delivered and managed from one administration server. Tritone is a pioneer in e-learning music education solutions with managed network capabilities using the Internet as a "music lab" allowing many classrooms and schools to be integrated into one system, managed and monitored from one or more locations.

Tritone is responding to an increased demand from schools and districts to comply with "no child left behind" mandates set out by the United States Government. Tritone is addressing not only the music educational component that meets state educational standards required but also the data tracking and management in a comprehensive system.

Coursewatch was designed especially to deliver and retain music education content and is used to manage and track these learning events through a network. This provides the client with access to manage their own network; developing classrooms, locations, schools and student databases that can be monitored remotely by teachers and administrators.

Using Tritone interactive multimedia e-learning applications is much more engaging than the typical "text and picture" static e-Learning. Students remain engaged by "doing" which is provided by one of the only technologies that actually teaches physical performer skills over the Internet. The music education suite also delivers audio, text instruction, interactive lessons and activities as well as video and multimedia movies that demonstrate the skills required by the learner to play music.
