scrapbabe Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 http://www.musiqhomeschool.com/ It looks intriguing to me. Anyone heard of it? Smiles, Shalynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyAberlin Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I wonder how it compares to Kinderbach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowscreek Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I haven't heard of it either...but it looks interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbabe Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Well, I don't know how it compares to Kinderbach except to say that Kinderbach is for 3-6 year olds. I believe MusIQ is for k-12 grades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabelen Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Oh, no! Now I feel compelled to research this curriculum as well, it looks very interesting! I have been hesitating between Kinderbach and the Faber's program for my 5 yo, and now this! Arghh! My daughter is asking to start her piano lessons and I can't get to choose what to use; you are making this harder, I sriously think the only way is to get off these boards! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbabe Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I agree with getting off these boards. It does get difficult with so many choices. But I think I'd still have the problem, even without the boards. I am a diehard researcher - so I leave no stone unturned. I only wish someone had experience with this music program to help me decide. Smiles, Shalynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber in AUS Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Just bumping because i'd love to see a response from someone who has used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarawatsonim Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 This looks great. My daughter has been wanting to take lessons and we have been having a hard time finding a teacher that isn't extremely expensive. This might be a good way to introduce her into piano and get a feel to see if she enjoys it. I hope someone on here might be able to give some user experience.

scrapbabe Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Well, me thinks I will take the plunge for just $10.95 a month and see how it goes. Of course I still have to buy the keyboard, but we'd be buying it anyway. Smiles, Shalynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2abcd Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 This is the same thing as Piano Suite Premier with a lesson plan book thrown in. Piano Suite has been around for a long time and is pretty well liked. I like their software for ten and under; I hadn't seen it before and it looks like fun!

Halcyon Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 this is an old thread, but I'd love to hear how it's going for people who decided to take the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 this is an old thread, but I'd love to hear how it's going for people who decided to take the plunge. :iagree: I'd also like to know if there's another keyboard compatible with the software. A 49 key won't cut it for long if your kid has any real interest. I had one who was in 3rd year books after 6 mos of lessons (It happens).

scrapbabe Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 I haven't taken the plunge yet because I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in the fall and so the boys are going to a private school while I heal. So, sorry I have nothing to report. Maybe next year we'll give a try. I did discover that you can purchase the software at other places individually without the hefty pricetag. My understanding is that any midi compatible keyboard will work. You don't have to buy the small one they offer. I think it even addresses that on the website. If someone else bought it I'd sure like to know what you thought. Smiles, Shalynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimitBreak Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I have no experience with MusIQ, but have with these methods: Lessons Piano Adventures, Level 2A by Faber (my son's piano teacher chose this. I'm not a big fan of it because it doesn't have as much repetition with the different subjects.) Technic A Dozen a Day, Book One by Edna-Mae Burnam (My son loves this and so do I!) Fingerpower by Schaum, Level Primer & One (This was just so-so. My son's teacher used this for the first 2 levels but switched to A Dozen a Day). Theory My son's teacher doesn't emphasize theory. Maybe because he's only 6yo or maybe because she's restricted to 30 min lessons. We can't afford the 1-hour lessons. However, I use Playing With Sound, Level 1 by Noona and tutor him myself. I try to coincide it with what he's learning in his lesson book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
