While learning music, the most difficult concept to understand is 'timing'. Many of us may think that we can easily learn to sing or play a song on a piano or some other instrument with the help of notation sheet. But the actual fact is, music can be understood more easily by listening than looking at the notation sheet. Note lengths can be understood theoretically by looking at the sheet, but unless we listen to the phrases repeatedly and practice them, it is impossible to pick up many phrases.

In the presents day world, music learning can be made easier and effective, by using digital tools & technology which are available on the internet. Some of them are free and others are available for a minimum price. MIDI sequencer is one such powerful tool for any music student . In a MIDI sequencer, we can input notes and listen to the phrases by playing it using the in-built virtual instruments in the software. We can select any difficult phrase, loop it and learn it.
