Kids at Palo Alto Apple Store Get Free Musical iPad Lesson

Kids filled up the Palo Alto Apple retail store the other night to get some music lessons from Ge Wang, the Smule Co-Founder and Stanford Music Professor. Smule makes Magic Fiddle, among other musical iOS apps for the iPad, and it was used to teach the kids.

Magic Fiddle for iPad teaches people to easily learn how to play music. Smule says “your fiddle takes you on fun learning adventures with the Storybook — an 8-chapter interactive journey that teaches you different techniques with fun activities and step-by-step instructions.”

Here’s a few pictures from the event, it really looks like everyone had a good time. I personally think it would be great if popular iOS dev companies did more things like this. It gives the app companies a personal touch by meeting some of their users and they also get to see people using their apps.
