Demo allows first 6 activities of 60 activities: Learn positions of notes on piano keyboard and on staff; identify various musical symbols; learn to recognize sequences of musical pitches, among others. Seems well designed and thought-out.The class teacher can cater for a large range of abilities simultaneously. Beginners can review note names while advanced students study their aural intervals. Students can get one-on-one help for new concepts from the teacher while others are working at a level appropriate to them. With so many activities available there is always extension work available for advanced students.

Specific skills covered include:Reading notes in the treble and bass clefs.Matching manuscript notes with keys on a piano. Aural recognition of melodies and rhythms.Aural recognition of scales and common intervals.Recognition of note names and their durations. Review of common Italian terms and music symbols. Recognition of common chords on manuscript or keyboard. Aural recognition of major and minor tonality.
