Glenn Kueck, an elementary general music teach in Killeen, Texas found Music Maestro particularly effective helping students with pitch and rhythm.
“I have been using Music Ace in my classroom at Clifton Park Elementary School in Killeen Texas for a decade,” he says. “I believe this is the reason that all my 5th graders save the ones that just transferred from other schools can read the treble staff, why they are so good at keeping a steady beat when we play our Orff instruments and our recorders, why they can imitate rhythms readily, and why they sight sing so well. For example, about two years ago my 5th-grade students were playing recorders and having problems with a particular passage.
I asked them to stop playing and sing the notes to help get the passage in their ear.
