Some lovely comments from users of Susan’s (@learnatune) music games and resources, including music teachers, students and parents.
My pupils love ALL your games! (Eg Dragon Wars; the 5 year olds right up to the 13 year olds always ask to play it!!!). As a teacher the drag and drop notes are incredible! I love how I can tailor it to the range of notes a beginner knows, or focus on a particular set of notes that are recent and relevant.
