Our Award Winning Proven Piano Learning Software Method Provides Real Music Learning Real Fast In 5 Simple Steps.
We put training wheels on the piano (well, sort of 🙂).
How do children all over the world learn to speak even very complicated languages fluently by the time they are 5 or 6?
What if we could use those same natural abilities to easily teach music to millions of children, for generations?
What if that made them smarter, in every way, for life?
"All I do is hit the right notes at the right time."
1. How The Piano Wizard Game Works
Step One
As you begin in step one, game play is based on objects and colors, not notes and keys. During installation, you've placed the colored stickers on each key of your keyboard. You'll see a representation of the same color-coded keyboard at the top of the screen. When a song begins, color-coded objects such as circles, dinosaur eggs, stars or whatever background you choose will scroll from the bottom to the top of the screen.
The color of the object corresponds with the color of the key to press. When the object reaches the top of the screen, it scrolls over one of the color-coded keys. Your goal as a player is to press the same key on your keyboard at the exact moment that the object passes over the on-screen key. When you press the right keys at the right time in the right sequence, you'll be playing a song.
Step Two
The on-screen keyboard rotates to the left side of the screen. Now the objects scroll from right to left instead of from bottom to top. This is a little trickier to master, because the player's keyboard is still oriented horizontally, but the on-screen keyboard is vertical. But with this vertical orientation, the color-coded objects look more like real notes on a musical staff.
In music notation, notes with a higher pitch are higher on the staff. Likewise, in this step of Piano Wizard, notes with a higher pitch are higher up on the screen. Whether the player realizes it or not, he or she's starting to learn the basics of reading music. They are actually reading sheet music but don't know it until it is revealed in the next step.
Step Three
The color-coded objects become musical notes on a real staff. Notes and rhythm become second nature. Now the transition to reading music is almost complete.
The color of the note is still its' most important characteristic as far as the player is concerned. But he or she's also becoming comfortable with the look of musical notes on the staff in all of their variations and lengths -- whole notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, sharps and flats.
Step Four
The colored notes change to black on a musical staff, making the transition to reading actual musical notation fun and effortless!
The student is now playing and reading real music. At this point, the student reads notes exactly how they would be written on a piece of sheet music. The only difference is that the notes continue to scroll across the screen.
2. Now We Add The Academy
The tutorial videos (created from our real-life Academy Boot Camp) and Songbook lessons (100 lessons total) by our teachers Don and Delayna Beattie guide you from ZERO-to-Beethoven in no time.
Our system is expandable for LIFE as you can download any MIDI file, and import it. It magically automatically renders into a game. Piano lessons were never more fun!
Step Five
While the game end here, this is where the student takes it the final crucial step with Piano Wizard Academy. This is the transition from playing a video game to reading the sheet music (provided) on the piano. You'll learn:
- Phrasing
- Posture
- Dynamics
- Technique
- Reading Music
- And more
Piano Wizard bridges the gap between sheet music and your keyboard.
Learning traditional music can be challenging. The traditional teaching methods make it even more difficult, with a lack of connection between sheet music and the keyboard. No wonder there's an 80% dropout rate among piano students.
Our unique piano software takes a different approach, guiding players gently to establish the crucial connection required to read music. We prioritize playing real songs before diving into complex notation.
Our 4-step process leads you from game to piano to reading music effortlessly. Step 5 unlocks the real magic when you transition to a real piano or digital keyboard with sheet music. That's the true revolution in music learning!
Sensory Learning.
Sensory learning is not a new concept. In fact, there are other methods that incorporate it. For example, there are play-by-ear methods. Problem is these methods do nothing to help you read music – the part where most of us fail.
Our game’s feedback is visual, aural, kinesthetic, positive and non-violent. You add the human touch with the expert coaching provided in the videos, to keep them on track through all the levels, and soon your whole family is making music together.
The Piano Wizard Method teaches in the way we naturally learn with the basic components of piano playing, to create a stress free, fun experience that consistently proves successful for both children and adults. The game system follows the way we learn our native language, by doing!
