I do not know the age or reading abilities of your kiddos, so this may not be an issue. I went with Simply Music this past year mainly because my ds8, now 9, was not reading yet, and was struggling with that, so it didn’t seem like I should get a program that would require learning to read music to play. Its been great and got him playing several songs so that a fellow cubscout family asked about it after hearing him play. I let them borrow it over the summer. Now that he seems to have gotten his brain in gear for reading, I’m switching to a program that does teach music reading, as I do want him to learn that. Anyway, Simply Music is a good way to begin learning music and actually playing music without having to start out reading music, if that may be problematic for a particular kiddo.
HTH,
