      Using Music Techology in the Classroom  
             
            A Primer on Evaluating and Using Music Technology 
      Noted music technology expert Dr. Kirk Kassner has just completed a 20-page educational guide for music teachers,  "Using Music Technology in the Classroom." The guide discusses the music technology available and best practices in selecting and integrating music technology into the classroom. He also reviews current music technology offerings and analyzes how they can be used to support state and national music education standards. Additionally, the guide contains actionable information and recommendations that music educators at any grade level can use.

      Music Ace Lesson Correlations to Popular Piano Methods 
      To make the Music Ace products
        more useful with the most popular piano 
        methods, we have developed a set of Method 
        Correlations and lesson reference labels that can be placed into the method book. The correlations and labels are available 
        as printable pdf downloads.  
      The correlations provide a cross-reference between specific 
        method books and pages within those books 
        to specific Music Ace lessons and sections. 
        These correlations will help piano teachers and 
        students better use Music Ace lessons with 
        their piano lessons. Labels include the page number in the method book and a reference to a specific lesson and section within Music Ace, Music Ace2, Music Ace Deluxe, Music Ace Deluxe – PSE or Music Ace Maestro. 
      Correlations and labels are currently available for the following methods/books: 
      
        
          - Hal Leonard – Piano Student Library, Books 1-5 and All-In-One A and B.
 
          -  Faber - My First Piano Adventure, Level A-C; Piano Adventures, Primer-Level 5

      High Scores 
        for Music Ace Games 
        Many educators have asked the question "What is the highest possible score for 
          each Music Ace game?" Since many of the games are not deterministic, it 
          is difficult to say precisely. However, as an aid to music educators, we have provided a table of reported high scores for all games. We invite users to submit their own 
          high scores to us, which will be tabulated on the high 
            scores table.
