Birds twitter, didjeridoos moan, and an excited Ms. Frizzle hits the high notes as she explains the science of sound and teaches kids to listen creatively. On the bus, kids can hear what different sounds do in different locations with the Acoust-O-Matic, play Name That Noise with Mikey Microphone, or learn how sound travels in the Wild Waves experiment; there's even an ultrasound and an oscilloscope onboard. Outside there are more activities, and the kids take the concert stage with various instruments they play and explain. The program hums, roars, and ooompas right along. Sound is everywhere in this inspired, informative bunch of racket: jets whoosh above in the sky, and thunderclouds grumble. Two ingenious touches are a microphone kids can drag about the set to record sounds (it even produces feedback if you brush the cursor against it) and a pair of click-and-drag goggles that show how different sound waves look when they're laid over an instrument. Don't buy this expecting a music theory class--there's not a treble clef to be found unless you count the one on Ms. Frizzle's skirt--but for a child who's all ears, curious about how tape recorders work and why bats squeak, it's sure to hit just the right note. (For ages 6 to 10) --Anne Erickson

 The Magic School Bus in Concert August 27, 2000

The Magic School Bus in Concert is a good game, except the voices are different than the hit TV show, and Arnold, Wanda, Tim, and Dorothy Ann aren't included in the game. I am 10 years old, and I collect Magic School Bus computer games. I would recommend this game for 6 to 10 year olds who want to improve their music skills.
 Great for the Imagination August 8, 2000

My seven year old seemed to enjoy this more than my 9 year old. Perhaps just because she enjoys music more. Still a wonderful game, allows players to create their own scores and teaches them about ultrasound. It definately allows them to put their imagination to work. Not so much an educational game but definately fun!The memory game, Sound Off, was a little hard for her, but that would probably vary from kid to kid.
