Learrning to Play the Piano...

Learning Piano Should Be A Positive Experience!

Interesting gaming programs which truly trains the gamer in a real-world skill is not easy to find -- especially in the field of music education. Computer software games are a huge and burgeoning industry because kids are almost hopelessly enthralled by them. Why not harness the attention-focussing power of computer games by integrating music practice software with a fun, interactive gaming environment?

Software which provides parents a non-violent option to regular video games, which are at the same time fun, compelling, and challenging, could also teach musical literacy quite efficiently. Such a combination would have the unequaled potential to change the traditionally tedious and repetitive piano practice into an exciting, very satisfying video game experience – ultimately taking the "yuck!" out of each piano practice -- forever.

Using gaming software to make practicing piano enjoyable would solve several problems. Parents wouldn't feel the need to nag their kids to practice (they are more likely to have the opposite problem – they may have to nag their children to STOP practicing). Music 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 attainable would be expanded tremendously. And, perhaps most importantly, music students will connect fun and fulfillment with the piano instead of anguish and struggle.

Allegro Rainbow, makers of Piano Wizard and the soon-to-be-released Guitar Wizard, appears to have discovered that magical fusion. They are enthusiastically determined to deliver FUN piano practice software to the market -- thanks to a solid product concept and design environment.

Chris Salter, the CEO of Allegro Rainbow, states, "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 at least ten or more alternatives to choose from including Teach Me Piano, Piano Suite Premier, and Instant Play Piano. However, none of these are really computer games, but are educational 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 central focus of their program. So, in actuality Allegro Rainbow has led the way by marrying piano instruction with gaming software.
