About the Book: 

This book demonstrates two notations of each ratio from both "perspectives" and a third set of notations showing a common subdivision. Subdivisions are accented to demonstrate where one half of the ratio lies against the other. The ratios included here focus on 5's and 7's against 2-9 and 2-13 respectively. 3:2 and 4:3 are also included because they are so common.

About the Loops:

These small mp3's are meant to be looped either on your mp3 player or iTunes for continuous play. If you don't know how to loop tracks with your device a simple google will probably point you in the right direction.

About the Ear Training mp3's:

Just like you can train your ear to more easily recognize pitch intervals you can also train you ear to more easily recognize rhythmic ratios.

About the iPhone Ringtones:

If you'd like to better recognize a particular ratio assign a ringtone to your phone. Every time the phone rings or an alarm goes off this ratio will play. This constant exposure to the ratio will make easier to recognize quickly. Ringtones are .m4r format only. 

If you don't have an iPhone you can make a copy of the ear training mp3's and convert them to the appropriate format.
