A few months ago, I received what
I thought might be just another piece of direct
mail. But something caught my attention--was it
“Music Ace: Winner of 28 Awards and Honors” or “This
CD ROM Makes Learning Music Fun!”? Whatever it was,
it made me open the envelope and place an order.
My 10-year-old daughter (a
second-year piano student) couldn’t wait to try it,
hoping it would be everything that it promised, and
we definitely weren’t let down!
Twenty-four self-paced lessons and
games teach the fundamentals of music and develop
music skills in listening, note reading, piano
keyboard, treble, bass, and grand staffs, loud and
soft, pitch, octaves, half and whole steps, sharps,
flats and key signatures.
Each lesson is built on the
previous one, and a game follows each lesson so you
can practice what you have learned.
Music Ace also offers a unique
Music Doodle pad that lets you experiment with what
you’ve learned. You can create musical compositions
(and save them) with a variety of instruments or
listen to examples of songs that have already been
created on the Jukebox.
Requiring no music experience,
Music Ace is ideal for beginning music students
young and old. And above all, IT IS FUN! Never in
its case at our house, it’s the product that my
daughter plays most.
A ‘must have’ for your home/school
software library, this is the best music software
available.
