 Great Product January 26, 2008
This program so far has been great. I teach piano lessons and my students really enjoy it. They really feel like it has been helping them learn along with my lessons. I would recommend this product to anyone.
 Music Ace Music Mess December 2, 2007

Hello,
We got a defective CD. It will not work correctly, it skips, and doesn't play right. WE GOT RIPPED! We tried it on more than 3 computers, and it still will not work correctly! When we get a replacement, we will go to a store, and order it thru them! I can not recommend this as a way of buying MUSIC ACE. This was a bogus rip off!

I homeschool my daughter and bought this software for Music for third grade. So far, she has really enjoyed it. We're both learning a lot. I know I could not teach her all that she is learning using this software. I highly recommend it for homeschooling families not involved in formal music lessons.

Thorough Music Theory Instruction for Kids and Adults October 12, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Music Ace Deluxe is a comprehensive beginning music notation and basic music theory tutorial. It is very well produced, with quality animation that is used to encourage the student.
I am an adult who enjoyed learning from the software even though it appears aimed towards the ages of about 8-12. I was able to relatively easily skip lessons that were too basic for me, and I appreciated the variable skill levels for the practice games. I was able to quickly understand the "circle of fifths" and how the scale is notated, much more so than just reading a book.
The rhythm instruction works amazingly well, just by striking a key on the computer keyboard. It warns you when you strike keys early or late or if you hold them too short or too long. If you make too many mistakes, it slows down the tempo, and then subsequently speeds it up once you perform it correctly. I feel much more confident about my understanding of syncopation as a result of this instruction.
The software works beautifully with a MIDI-connected keyboard, so consider buying an interface and/or a cheap controller keyboard if you have neither to aid in the instruction. Otherwise you will have to use the on-screen keyboard, which is still feasible.
The only thing I am disappointed about is the fact that the lessons end with an "Introduction to Harmony" that left me wishing for more. Unfortunately, there is no "advanced" product from Harmonic Vision to cover this territory, so I will be forced to read books, dry by comparison.
