Music Ace Consumer Version, Hybrid CD-ROM Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a general Elementary Music Specialist, I used this program for years with kids as young as kindergarteners up to the Fifth grade. While the younger readers needed some occasional help, most kids who can "listen" and "click" can understand what to do. This is the perfect program to accompany music instruction for any kid. But even if it's all you have, it is amazingly fun, simple, and interesting that even Paula could do it!

Adventus Incorporated Piano Suite Basic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)No program is ever going to suddenly give you knowlege... Regardless of what program you pick you are going to have to practice practice practice. This program is a little dated and looks like it was designed for the Win 95 platform. Still though it gets the job done and I largly enjoy it. Even though it is geared towards kids, as an adult, I followed allong nicely.

8-note Board Piano Kalimba Set with Songbook and CD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this instrument about 2 days ago. I have been playing for about 7 hours total now. The book is easy to follow, the CD provides help if you can't get the tempo down. This instrument sounds really clear and beautiful. The book also covers everything from maintaining the instrument, tuning(The instrument is already pre-tuned to standard C scale), and chords. I expect this instrument to accompany me a long time . It's worth getting if your a beginner.

Turtle Shaped Karimba Mbira Thumb Piano Kalimba Finger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This kalimba sits in our livingroom and when it isn't being used its job is to 'sit pretty'. The 'tines' aren't exactly tuned very carefully, when they move you have to sort of tune it again but it does have a good chimy sound. (When we first got it the sound made my dog think someone rang the doorbell and she'd run to the door!) This is a good 'starter kalimba' for fun, not for the serious percussion music enthusiast.

Wehave a limited supply of these, so don't delay. Get yours now!
