    Always wanted to know how to learn to read and write music especially music theory. This is definitely the real thing.

  • Very neat music theory software

    I bought this for my 12 year old, but we both ended up loving this software. The lessons are very easy to follow, the exercises are fun, and there is a surprising amount of content. There are literally hundreds of lessons and dozens of exercises. The topics are pretty rudimentary at first, but you can skip them if you want; the pace ramps up after level 3 (there is a total of 9). All in all, I'm very happy with this product.
