A pair of recordings are synchronously reproduced, wherein one such recording suitably comprises a musical selection with which a student may correlate a response, while the second recording represents an ideal or correct response. The student hears the first recording continuously, but the second recording becomes audible to him only at the instance of his response coinciding with the information on the second recording. The student is thus given an immediate indication of the correctness of his response for the purpose of reinforcing the student's performance. Also, an overall indication or summary is provided of the student's ability.
