Music Ace 1

A fun way to learn the theory of music.
Takes you to approximately ABRSM Grade 2

Music Ace makes learning music fun! In this easy-to-use, self-paced interactive program, Maestro Max and his choir of singing notes lead you through a series of twenty-four comprehensive lessons which develop and reinforce fundamental music skills and an understanding of music theory.

Features

In Music Ace, twenty-four engaging lessons emphasise music fundamentals including staff and keyboard relationshops, pitch identification and note reading, listening skills, sharps, flats and key signatures, keyboard basics, major scales and octaves, treble, bass and grand staff and more.

When the lessons end, the games begin. After completing each lesson, you're challenged to play an exciting game that sharpends your progress. The games have digitised sound effects and colourful animated graphics and are designed to give you a video arcade feel, so learning seems more like entertainment. A "completion count" provides the number of times the user has gone through ech section of a lesson and "games progress" provides high scores.

Music Ace also includes a powerful "Music Doodle Pad" so you can compose and listen to your own music. Listen and watch as your own musical creations come to life. You can experiment with different instrument sounds, play musical pieces in the Jukebox and save and play your composition for others to hear.

Used to great effect by many music teachers - the children hardly realise they are learning.

When not being a director of Mediashak I am a qualified piano teacher and I really rate this package as do many of my piano teaching friends. One uses it in her group Keyboard lessons at East Warwickshire college. It does use American terminology, but the benefits far outweigh this - Kathryn Heathcote, DipABRSM
