Software Reviews of Music Ace Deluxe
Customer Review: A great music software that teaches you how to play and READ music!
Summary: 5 Stars
I searched around for a good music theory software for my 5 year-old boy that can match the old Miracle Piano Teacher program (which can still be put together with items on eBay but I didn't want to risk it). I first bought the "Children's Music Journey" and sold it right away (read my 1-star review at that item). Then I came across Music Ace Deluxe, downloaded the demos from their website, and was immediately impressed with its coverage of music theory and fundamentals. The graphics are not impressive but it follows a good flow to teach kids (and adults) how to play and, more importantly, read music. My wife taught piano before having children and she is very happy with this program's methods.Customer Review: Exciting way to learn music
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is quite useful. It is sturdy, which is important for software that will be used often. Some topics can be more developed though.Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids are enjoying learning with this game! They especially love competing with each other's scores in the games that come after each lesson, which means playing them over and over to outdo each other. I don't think that they realize just how much they are learning, they are having so much fun with it.Customer Review: Overpriced and not related to Violin Players
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this for my violin beginner 11 year old on the strength that it had pictures of violin players on the box. I wanted her to get comfortable with reading music for violin. However none of the software is directed at violin players, but rather just to piano players.
Though my daughter is bright and very computer literate this software offered her very little in the way of an interesting learning tool. It may be advertized as good for teaching musical theory but it failed miserably to capture the attention of my daughter.
We have a lot of educational software (40+ including Edmark by IBM) ranging from Math, Spelling and Typing games and find this package very limited in functionality and consequently very overpriced!
Customer Review: teaches even adults!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an adult that wants to learn how to read regular music notation and hear the difference between the beat and tempo. This program can do that. It is easy and fun for children from about 6 to 96 years of age! I am 49 and having a blast with it. I play several bluegrass instruments but have always used "TAB" to play the instruments. I recently started playing a new instrument whose usual music is written in standard notation. That is why I wanted to learn. But I found so many of the programs out there to be either beneath my level or really above it. I guess most teachers think someone my age should known something about standard written music. I do not have anyone close by and available on my limited time schedule to learn from, so that is why I choose to learn from software.
This program is fun for adults too. It is a quality in depth program that assumes you know nothing about music and takes you on a magic ride from the very beginning teaching the staff, the notes, notations and everything else. It has a game at the end of each of the chapters and believe me some of the games are hard to get correct-particualarly the ones dealing with starting on the beat.
For my money it can't be beat!
