Frank:

 

I have begun to use Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory. It is an integrated program with books, eartraining CDs, extra worksheets and software. You could use the software as a supplement to another print system fairly easily. There are three levels in the system which cover everything from "whole-note theory" basics through chord progressions and simple forms. There is a built in assessment to track the student's progress. Version 2 is currently available, but Alfred is currently advertising version 3, which will have web-based capabilities, allowing student's to access the program and complete assignments from home. They are still not giving a release date on version 3, though they have a preview on their website, www.alfred.com.

 

Good luck!
