Music Theory for Today’s Tech Savvy Generation!         


It is no secret that kids today love playing on their laptops, rocking out to their ipods, and skyping with their freinds. Learning music theory on a computer is like speaking in their native tongue.

With inexpensive music education software, children can learn, enjoy, understand, and even compose music. The most appealing programs use animation and games to draw children into the world of music theory.


A great example is Music Ace. Music Ace is directed at children ages 5-8 years old and covers basic theory, but there is also Music Ace Deluxe, which is more advanced and is geared toward children ages 8 years old and up. ‘’Maestro Max’’, your child’s animated music professor gives guidance through each lesson as the smiling music notes sing and bounce around the screen.

Another fun program is Sibelius Groovy Music Software from the UK. Altough I have little experience with it, from what I have read, it is verry effective for educating children. Here is the link: Sibelius Groovy Music Software

You can also download free music theory apps on your droid or iphone. It is simple as typing in ‘’music flash cards’’ or ‘’music theory games’’ into your search engine. This is the easiest way to go if you don’t feel like buying computer software.
