Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good supplement to Lessons Comment: I have a 7 year old daughter and this product has helped to motivate her to want to continue lessons and practice. She has a lot of fun with it! Customer Rating: Summary: Great kids music program Comment: Music Ace delivers! A wonderful fun filled format that teaches children to read music and understand musical notation. This format gives parents and teachers a great tool to support early musically learning. Used in conjunction with instrumental music lessons - this program allows kids to excel at a great pace while having fun at the computer. My son (6) looks forward to his computer treat of the day - playing music ace. Customer Rating: Summary: May not function properly on your PC Comment: This is a good product, once you get it launched. After installation on my WinXP SP2 box, it would not launch properly and repeatedly displayed a Visual C++ error message about not finding an entry point or some such thing. When you dismiss the alert dialog box, every subsequent move of the mouse triggers its display again. Only after several tries was I able to get into the program successfully. Furthermore, it changes the screen resolution when you select the full screen display option. It does not consistently restore your previous resolution upon exiting. These anomalies reoccurred each time I attempt to use the program. The lessons that I completed are fun, engaging and instructive. Each lesson has one or more related games which serve to reinforce the material covered in the main lesson. But because it appears to have some serious compatibility issues, at least with my PC, I cannot give it a higher rating. So be advised that this application may or may not work properly on your system. Customer Rating: Summary: One of the best music educational software Comment: We purchased several different programs from the same category and Music Ace has some major advantages. First of all it is an education tool not a game. It has learning games, but also delivers the information needed to obtain certain skill. I found that some other programs overly emphasize on games and this often distracted my son. Music Ace displays both text for readers and is narrated, so early readers or younger players can learn too. The integration with a MIDI adapter is decent and does the job of improving the learning experience. But most importantly my 7yo son has a lot of fun with this program. My wife was really surprised that Music Ace is also perfect for parents that do not have music knowledge but want to keep up with their kids lessons. One con is that the graphics are a bit dated and on the larger LCD screens looks a bit blurry. Customer Rating: Summary: Great music product! Comment: Our children love to spend time learning music theory and experimenting with the many songs. This is a great tool for helping children understand and love music. My son has taken a special liking to Vivaldi and my daughters love the program as well. It's a great buy to help create a life-long love for learning and experiencing music. More Reviews
