        Music Ace builds solid music         foundation for beginning music students, young or old. This         easy-to-use, self-paced and interactive program has won over         12 awards since its release, including awards from Family         PC, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio, ERIC and a Parentsí         Choice Gold Award.
                  An animated conductor, Maestro Max, and         his choir of singing notes lead students through a series of         24 comprehensive lessons designed to develop and reinforce         fundamental music skills. Lesson topics include staff and         keyboard relationship, pitch identification and note         reading, listening skills and much more.
         After completing each lesson, learners can test their         knowledge with challenging games that reinforce skills         learned. A powerful Music Doodle Pad lets one easily compose         and arrange music, using a variety of instrument sounds.         These creative compositions can be saved and played back for         others, showcasing the knowledge and skills aquired from the         lessons and games.
                  
                  Music Ace stands apart from other         programs by teaching real music skills, not just an         introduction to music in general. And, it d'es this in an         engaging manner that keeps students interested. Also, unlike         some other programs, no expensive MIDI keyboard is         required.
