Making Music Fun Jan 29, 2003
Very well developed program for the young student of music. Can hook up your keyboard to your computer & work the lessons that way, or just use the keyboard, too. Teaches beginning tempo, rhythm, introduces the various concepts of all the differences in tempo, beat, etc. Teaches about the grand staff, also has a "doodle pad" where kids can make their own music & hear it played back to them. Lots of fun!

Get Your Kids Excited About Learning Music Theory Jun 29, 2007 By George Rosta
Harmonic Vision Music Ace 2 Our eight year old son loves to play piano and keyboards, but getting him excited over learning how to read the notes on a staff or about time signatures was very tough. He just loved to play, but he didn't like working in a music theory workbook. Music Ace 2 is an interactive, thorough program that is fun for kids beginning to learn about music or even for kids that are just curious about it. The "professor" is your guide through about two dozen lessons and is very supportive and patient. The games that support each lesson are a lot of fun to play, and reinforce the lesson. An excellently designed program overall and well worth the price.

The only drawbacks are that it is a bit dated. I purchased mine in June, 2007, and it's nearly identical to the one my son's piano teacher uses. She says she purchased her Music Ace 2 in 1999. Also, on our computer, the graphics do not display in full screen (our resolution is 1024 x 768) and there is no way I've found to maximimize the program to fit our screen.

So, if you don't mind an appearance that appears a bit dated, Music Ace 2 is an excellent way to get your children excited about learning music theory.

Fun, Helpful Even for Adults Oct 18, 2008 By Bea Shalla "Abenteurerin"
The teacher, Maestro Max, talks and he's encouraging and motivating.

It's animated, you hear the notes, it introduces classical scores from Verdi and others, it has engaging, challenging yet fun drills and exercises that really help in ear training, learning music theory, and more.

Why can't other softwares and programs be more like this? I have Musition 3 Single User Student Edition for Windows, eMedia Earmaster 5 and Auralia 3 Single User Student Edition for Windows and they're all boring and dull compared to this (although I kinda like Auralia because it goes to more advanced drills and exercises) But yes, why can't they all be fun like this one?

It would be nice if Music Ace does the more advanced lessons too, like chords, intervals etc.

There's a trial/demo version for this at http://www.harmonicvision.com , try it :)

Excellent product!!!!!!! Sep 24, 2010 By Sheldon Mercury "Musicman TT"
This is by far the best product of its type that I've ever encounted. Hours of fun and learning. It uses real music in its examples so there a bit of music appreciation in there as well. I highly recommend this product.
