 Great software and customer support! July 12, 2010
Luan C. Do (Vienna, VA United States)
My kids love this software. Customer service is very responsive. The only issue is that Apple latest Snow Leopard OS seems to have issues with it. We ended up running it on an antiquated XP computer. I used to hook my Mac running this software to a digital piano using a MIDI interface. It worked like a charm by recognizing the keys played. I wish that the range of notes include all 88 keys, however. Great software and support, nevertheless.

Awesome learning program...even for adults! April 15, 2010
S. Immendorf (Philadelphia, PA United States)
I bought this program in hopes of learning the piano. Just like anything else though you have to have patience and the time to put forth, so don't expect this program to instantly turn you into Beethoven.
I started using this with very minimal musical knowledge, and I must say, I learned a lot as far and notes, chords, major / minor....ya know, the technical jargon of music. It also helped me to start using both of my hands at the same time which I am pretty good at now. But I will be honest, I did not devote much of my time, so I only have myself to blame for not advancing much.
This is a great way to learn. Especially when using a midi keyboard. I tried reading website, books, watching learning DVDs....nothing helped as much as this software did. Its a great combination of seeing, interaction, reading, and it is also fun.
I will say it is, however, on the kiddy side as far as the cartoons go, but heck...I'm nothing but a big kid!
I recommend this software for learning to play the piano.

The best of the best. March 12, 2010

I have been teaching 22 years as a certified music teacher. Don't hesitate to trust Music Ace with beginning music students, advancing students who need to sure up some gaps and vocabulary, and adults who want a good-natured and very engaging second chance at music literacy. Don't miss the available demo and session titles.
As I was finishing my Masters thesis on computer-assisted music instruction in the early 90s, I was introduced to Music Ace through available demos. I was able to acquire it for my students through the years in educational versions and eventually network versions of Music Ace and Music Ace 2 for my school. I purchased both titles in the single versions for my own children at home. I dedicated a summer to assisting my daughter and son through all 48 sessions. They were able to advance immediately in their private piano lessons. Music Ace was a factor in their public school band performance. My students and I are now enjoying Music Ace Maestro which is all 48 sessions from the two titles above. Harmonic Vision's Music Ace Deluxe has managed to keep the best and most essential 36 sessions under one title for home or other settings. I recently purchased two copies of Deluxe (for my father and my sister). My father is using it to instruct musicians and music leaders in the rural church where he is pastor. My sister is including it in her home school curriculum with her five children.
Today I continue to see the advantages of having another virtual instructor in my elementary classroom. Music Ace motivates, instructs, customizes drills and individualizes the progress of each student while maintaining progress records on all of them. Music Ace Deluxe will do the same for up to 10 re-assignable users at home or in the studio. I consider it appropriate for new readers with assistance all the way through music novices in high school. It is a great compliment to private music lessons. The foundational content is not insulting. Ear training, music vocabulary, and notation are introduced for students with no musical experience in a setting that promotes rapt attention and well-sequenced advancement. Staff reading and piano basics are patiently developed within an atmosphere that fosters quick advancement if the skills are demonstrated. As a balance to the patient pace, the element of urgency is effective for the video game generation. With sensitive personalities, this intensity can be moderated by the use of a pause button on lessons and the menu button during game mode. The bonus title, Doodle Pad, makes a light first impression until you see its vast and deep application as an instructional tool for demonstration, music literature, and creativity. It is accessible to the youngest of students and challenging to the advanced student. Instant transposition and the option to save original work make it very versatile. I am waiting for Doodle Pad to be offered with and option for traditional rhythmic notation and print capability. At the price of Music Ace Deluxe, this all constitutes a value with enduring and broad applications. In 20 or so years on the market, nothing else in its class can approach it, let alone replaced.
