    The music aspect of the program is praised for its effectiveness in teaching basic music theory, particularly for beginners looking to build confidence and understanding. However, users note that it oversimplifies concepts and may not adequately prepare musicians for more complex chord progressions and real-world applications. Additionally, the limited keyboard size is a drawback for those wanting to practice playing songs.

    • “If you have a little music theory knowledge and are trying to get your basics down, this is perfect for you.”
    • “This helped me to compose the first music in my head directly into a composition.”
    • “Ever since it came out, it has let me practice my musical hearing quite a bit as well as learn progressive chords.”
    • “If you're trying to apply it to music you'd see in the world past the beginner stage, it has some oversimplifications.”
    • “Please make it so that you can use a full-size MIDI keyboard; you can't even play some songs due to how short the keyboard you allow is.”
    • “Set up guide assumes you already understand music theory for a program that is supposed to teach it to you in a minimal fashion.”

    Users have noted concerns regarding the game's graphics performance, specifically mentioning that it utilizes 20% of the GPU while idle on a laptop with discrete graphics, which seems unusual for this type of software.

    • “Still, there's one small thing that worries me a bit: on my laptop with discrete graphics, it uses 20% of the GPU while idle, which is kind of weird for this kind of software.”
