This article describes the process of developing a software to aid the development of children musical perception focused mainly on the age of 4 to 6 years. The software was evaluated with 34 children in order to measure their acceptance and to detect and correct problems of usability. The analysis of data collected in the experiments allowed to refine some interface graphical characteristics and also to improve the communication of virtual instructor character with children using recorded voice. Finally, it was tested the effectiveness of the adopted solutions to problems encountered by using t tests to compare averages and F tests for comparison of variances. It was observed that the solutions adopted improved the usability of the software and also allowed an easier access to the educational potential of the software.
