Music Ace Starter

This product is very user-friendly. It is everything it was advertised to be. It helps beginners learn the letters on the keyboard as well as to read music. I am very pleased.

Excellent intro. Teaches the basics of music. I'm musically challenged but want my kids to be better. I'm using this to teach our family how to read music and understand some theory. It does use the keyboard, but it is still useful if you're wanting to learn a different instrument. We'll be learning the Recorder next school year (with "Basic Recorder Lessons Omnibus Edition"  Basic Recorder Lessons Omnibus Edition ).(For homeschoolers. WTM, and some other methods, advocate no software, but this is not at all flashy. Not too "Sesame Street." Its like having a music teacher, which is great for homeschoolers who need to teach music, but don't know the subject! Having zero musical talent I truly believe that a book isn't enough to teach this subject. Some sort of live tutor, software, or video is necessary for us.)

This was a gift for my grandson. In order to maximize the entire program, it required more computer equipment than we have, and seemed a bit confusing, and my grandson got discouraged and lost interest, but with some supervision and encouragement, he gained a little more musical knowledge and ability from it.

I really like this software because it is helping my child learn to read music in a fun way. It is very kid friendly and I highly recommend it if you are looking to provide professionnal music lessons for a child. It's fun for adults too!!

It is very similar to the Music Deluxe.I hope the two can be different apparently to avoid buyingboth of them.
