Each enhanced book includes two CDs which contain accompaniment recordings for each lesson. The second CD also contains iPAS- Interactive Pyware Assessment Software - which, when installed on a computer, gives students the opportunity to play along with the accompaniment recordings and have their performances graded and recorded. Students will then know their strengths and weaknesses as they progress through each new skill introduced in the lesson book. iPAS is also beneficial to the director who can use the program to send assignments and announcements; collect and listen to recordings completed by students at home; search, sort, and print grades with many parameters; and upload lessons and exercises to all students simultaneously.
