Welcome to The Mighty Maestro

The Mighty Maestro uses a variety of enjoyable music theory lessons, games and races to introduce concepts such as music notes (across the bass and treble clef), music values, time signatures, dynamics, scales, triads and key signatures. The completion of the program requires listening, observation and a bit of trial and error, leading to a solid understanding of basic music theory.
