Piano Practice Can Be Enjoyable!Captivating gaming software which is also truly educational is a rare commodity, at best -- especially in the field of music education. Computer software games are a huge and burgeoning industry because kids are completely captured by them. Wouldn't the ideal music-learning process integrate piano instruction software with a fun, interactive gaming environment? Software that provides consumers with a non-violent alternative to conventional video games, which are at the same time fun, compelling, and challenging, could also transmit musical literacy very efficiently. Such a combination would have the unmatched potential to transform the normally boring and repetitive piano practice into an exciting, extremely gratifying video game experience – once and for all taking the unpleasantness out of each piano practice -- forever. Using computer games to make practicing piano enjoyable would resolve some particularly vexing problems. Parents wouldn't feel the need to nag their children to practice (they probably will have the opposite challenge – they may have to nag their kids to STOP practicing). Piano teachers wouldn't need to fear whether their students will actually practice before their next lesson. On the students' side, the sum total of people to which learning the piano could be made accessible would greatly increase. And, perhaps first and foremost, piano students will connect fun and accomplishment with the piano instead of drudgery and struggle. Allegro Rainbow, makers of Piano Wizard, seems to have discovered that magical fusion. They are fervently dedicated to deliver FUN piano practice software to the marketplace -- thanks to a sound product concept and design environment. Chris Salter, the founder of Allegro Rainbow, declares, "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 marketplace. There are around ten or so alternatives to choose from including Teach Me Piano, Piano Suite Premier, and Instant Play Piano. Nonetheless, none of these are really video games, but are educational software focused on imparting 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 main element of their program. So, in actuality Allegro Rainbow has led the way by joining piano instruction with gaming software.
