The magical powers of the iPad were evident last night in Palo Alto.
[ad#Google Adsense 300×250 in story]Kids crowded into Apple’s Palo Alto retail store last night to get some music lessons from Smule Co-Founder and Stanford Music Professor Ge Wang. Smule makes the Magic Fiddle app for the iPad, which was used to teach the kids.
Magic Fiddle allows users to easily learn to play music. According to the Web site, “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.”
It certainly looks like everyone had a lot of fun last night.
