This is a clever little program that will keep the attention of your young ones - I recommend for 2+ to 4 as an entertaining program, ages 5-7 as an educational "introduction" to music with challenges. Computer/mouse operation. The delight it brings is worth the price!

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.
Music Games Review
This product is a good tool for very young children to learn the piano keyboard and note names.
