Want to teach your kids to enjoy listening to music, especially classical? Then try this program. Easy-to-use interface, wonderful tunes, great exposure to classical music in these sad rap-and-brittney times. Not for the faint of heart, however. Despite its simple interface, kids used to story lines and immersive environments will find this more like a standardized test than fun software, at least on first blush. However, if you are willing to sit down with them and help out, then the game becomes lots of fun. I liked the way it adjusts itself to the capabilities of the player. At the higher levels the game is quite challenging, even for adults. When my kids sit down to play, the music that comes forth is a great alternative to the mind-numbing drivel that normally accompanies video games. I actually enjoy listening to them play. If you have a decent set of speakers, then it sounds really nice. I wish I had this to play with when I was taking first grade piano lessons...

I teach piano lessons to a variety of ages. I use this game to supplement the instruction and all of my students love to play this game! (With the exception of one or two teenagers that think they are too cool.) It is entertaining for my younger students. The images and music hold their attention and they have grown in their ability to hear and reproduce music. Yet it is still challenging for my adult students. I even enjoy to sit down and play it for a while. Another benefit is that it allows me to track each student's progress individually by saving the games under each student's name.

Hello,

This is the second of two music CD's we bought on line. They are DEFECTIVE! We tried playing them on more than 3 computers, belonging to as many people, and they will not correctly download or play correctly. DO NOT BUY THIS ON LINE. WE GOT RIPPED! I can not recommend this as a means of ordering this product. When I get a replacement, I will go thru a store, because I can not get my money back.
