This giveaway has ended. The winning comment was comment #2!
We are always looking for educational items to check out! Harmonic Vision’s Music Ace Deluxe was sent to use for review. Below you will find a description of the software, followed by our thoughts.
Music Ace Deluxe software is a combination of music lessons and games that teach beginning music. This is for students of all ages and covers the basics of music theory, rhythm, pitch, note reading, listening, and the keyboard. No previous musical experience or instrument is required.
- Easy to use, self-paced learning
- Complements traditional music instruction
- Appropriate for students of any instrument
- Create and play your own music
- Compatible with General MIDI keyboards (keyboard optional)
- Tracks progress of 10 users
I have used this with all of my girls from ages 3-11 as well as with myself. I love that I can use one program for the whole family. This saves me money by not having to purchase separate programs for each kid. You enter the students name in and it remembers where you left off each time.
It’s very entertaining to use and the kids had fun with it. Learning is best when it is fun! Kids retain so much more when they enjoy what they are doing. We had a lot of fun with the Music Doodle Pad. You can easily compose your own music using a variety of instrument sounds.
I would highly recommend this to be included in your homeschool, or as an extension to your public school education. We have really been enjoying the software. They have it on sale right now at Amazon and it is eligible for free super saver shipping!

I like that it tracks the progress of up to 10 users. I probably can’t use that many, but that it tracks more than one is great and knowing I won’t run out of options is even better. I love that this entertains, first, and then educates–being fun means playing and learning more.

I learned that 80% of 400+ piano teachers polled indicated they thought using computer-based theory instruction in the home was valuable to their students
It sounds like a good aid for the student, my daughter recently took piano lessons, this would help her.
I was impressed by the statistics that 80% of 400+ piano teachers thought that computer instruction in theory was useful. My grandson has just started piano and is doing amazingly well, but this sounds like something that could be helpful.

Breast cancer impacts many women. I also try to support buying merchandise for breast cancer awareness or that donates part of their profits to find a cure.
Harmonic Vision is a leading music education software developer and publisher founded in 1991 and located near Chicago, Illinois. Sounds like a very good program. Thanks for the contest.
