I used this program with second grade classes. The students were very engaged in the various activities of the program. I presented this on my Smartboard and the lesson was a great success and reinforced concepts that we had studied throughout the year.

great for price
i've enjoyed using this in my piano studio, but have noticed one main problem. the theory is actually fairly advanced - key signatures, eighth notes and rests, intervals up to a seventh (maybe more), BUT, the graphics and animation (though way better than the Music Ace stuff) is more childish. My students who can actually do most of theory would not be interested in the graphics.
For the price, OK. But there's better stuff out there.
I bought this to use with my piano students on our studio computer. The games are fine and have educational value. But compared to some of the other software out there, this CD feels kind of like an afterthought. It's a great price, and it does have some value. But don't expect tons of bells and whistles.
