In his encore performance with the choir of Singing Notes, Maestro Max returns as your guide in the second installment of the award-winning Music Ace series from Harmonic Vision. Using the same fun and engaging format of 24 comprehensive lessons, challenging games and a creative composition tool, Music Ace 2 picks up where Music Ace leaves off to introduce concepts such as standard notation, rhythm, melody, harmony, intervals and much more. Whether you are continuing your tutelage under the Maestro or joining the class with some music fundamentals already in place, you are in for the best music learning experience available on your personal computer. In each of the 24 lessons, Maestro Max and his Singing Notes will begin the session by leading you through a few basic concepts.
Every lesson has screens like the one above.
There's a brief concept intro, a demonstration by his Singing Notes and the auto piano accompaniment, and an opportunity to practice the concept in a very straightforward, non-threatening manner. Other programs boast an exciting interface and great sounds, or a solid drill and practice format, but too often these programs are teaching you too many things at once, or exposing you to a graphically rich, educationally poor experience. Maestro Max, as kind and cute as a small Viennese man can be, is a great teacher. He teaches a single concept and encourages you to master that concept, and that concept only. With a truly interactive interface, the program is powerful enough to let you make mistakes, click around a screen, and never allow you to get lost.
