My 6 year old is able to play this way, and has a blast with it. She's also recognizing and starting to appreciate classical music now, which I think is a big plus.

That's not to say there's no entertainment to be extracted, it just could have been so much more. I actually think the 3D looks pretty good - sure, the actual cartoon clips would have been better, but processing/storage constraints mean that 3D was probably the best available option. I wonder if it would be easier for the youngest players if you didn't have to keep the stylus on the screen for a series of notes? I know Charlotte has trouble doing that for the letter writing sequences in the Storybook DS game. “Feels cheap” is the perfect description.

I also read that the music is low quality MIDI rather than full digital songs, is that how it sounds to you? That is a real shame.
