Practicing the Piano Should Be A Positive Experience!

Interesting gaming programs which is also truly educational is not easy to find -- especially in the category of music instruction. Computer software games are a huge and burgeoning industry because kids are almost hopelessly captured by them. Wouldn't the ideal music-learning process integrate piano instruction software with a fun, interactive gaming environment?

Software applications which furnishes users a non-violent choice to mainstream video games, which are simultaneously, compelling, and challenging, could also teach musical literacy quite efficiently. Such a combination would have the unrivaled potential to transform the normally tedious and repetitive piano practice into an exciting, extremely rewarding video game experience – ultimately taking the "yuck!" out of each piano practice -- forever.

Using gaming software to make practicing the piano enjoyable would solve some particularly vexing problems. Fathers and mothers wouldn't feel obliged to nag their kids to practice (they might actually have the opposite problem – they may have to nag their kids to STOP practicing). Piano teachers need not worry whether their students will make any progress between lessons. On the students' side, the shear numbers of people to which learning the piano could be made accessible would be substantially enlarged. And, perhaps first and foremost, piano students will associate fun and attainment with the piano instead of drudgery and struggle.

Music Wizard Group, makers of Piano Wizard, appears to have found that magical fusion. They are enthusiastically dedicated to deliver FUN piano practice software to the marketplace -- thanks to a sound product concept and design environment.

Chris Salter, the genius behind MWG, says, "Piano Wizard represents a significant shift in the way we introduce music to kids as well as adults, with many people thinking that it simply can't be done, or conversely, that they have seen this before. Because of these perceptions, we knew we [had to] let people see for themselves that the gateways to music are now wide open for everyone.”

You should know that Piano Wizard isn't the only piano practice software out there. There are about ten or more titles to choose from including Teach Me Piano, Piano Suite Premier, and Instant Play Piano. Nonetheless, none of these are really video games, but are instructional software focussed on teaching skills – not so much of the keep-them-glued magic of Piano Wizard. Teach Me Piano includes some games as accessories, but they are not a pivotal part of their program. So, in actuality Allegro Rainbow has blazed the trail by melding piano instruction with gaming software.
