Piano Wizard Software - Learning Piano Should Be FUN!

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

Software applications which furnishes parents a non-violent choice to mainstream computer games, which are simultaneously, compelling, and challenging, could also transmit musical literacy very efficiently. Such a blending would have the unmatched ability to change the traditionally boring and repetitive piano practice into an exciting, very rewarding video game adventure - ultimately taking the disagreeableness out of each piano practice -- forever.

Using gaming software to make piano practice enjoyable would resolve several challenges. Parents wouldn't feel obliged to badger their children to practice (they are more likely to have the opposite challenge - 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 of things, the shear numbers of people to which learning the piano could be made accessible would greatly increase. And, perhaps most importantly, music students will associate fun and accomplishment with the piano instead of drudgery and struggle.

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

Chris Salter, the CEO of Allegro Rainbow, 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 in the market. There are at least 10 or more titles to choose from including Teach Me Piano, Piano Suite Premier, and Instant Play Piano. However, none of these are actually video 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 "on the side", but they are not a central part of their program. So, indeed Allegro Rainbow has blazed the trail by marrying piano instruction with gaming software.
