Music Ace 1 Music Making Software For Children

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.

Music Ace 1 forms the first half of a complete music course for children: take a look also at Music Ace 2 (the second half) and Music Ace Deluxe (the complete package)

In Music Ace, twenty-four engaging lessons emphasise music fundamentals including staff and keyboard relationships, 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 sharpens 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.
