5.0 out of 5 stars Works great in the classroom and at home, March 12, 2007

As a general Elementary Music Specialist, I used this program for years with kids as young as kindergarteners up to the Fifth grade. While the younger readers needed some occasional help, most kids who can "listen" and "click" can understand what to do. This is the perfect program to accompany music instruction for any kid. But even if it's all you have, it is amazingly fun, simple, and interesting that even Paula could do it!

5.0 out of 5 stars music ace with a midi keyboard, awesome, September 13, 2007

This is the best program out there that I have seen to help you or your child learn piano. It has step by step lessons and practice games. Theory and then practice. I love using this program with a midi keyboard as well. I tried using it without the keyboard and I did not find the practice games as challenging or as real as playing the piano. Using the music ace program without a midi keyboard is like learning to type using an on screen keyboard with only a mouse. I have the 49e keyboard (sold separately).

I can not say enough about this product! I have had it for years and I continue to update each time they have a new version. You can learn SO much about reading music, playing the piano. You could ACTUALLY teach yourself to read music. It is so much fun, you don't even realize how much you are learning.
