Piano Wizard - Equipment Needed

Teaching Piano the Way a Child Learns
Traditional piano lessons teach musical notation first. But most children don't want to wade through the hieroglyphics before they get to play. They want to play now. The Piano Wizard Method teaches anyone to easily play piano in 4 steps.

With Piano Wizard, your child is playing the piano the instant the game is started. They learn intuitively to hit the right note at the right time. Gradually, as their skill level advances, so does the game. Before you know it, your child has learned to read music.

Beginner Level: There are several different fantasy worlds where you can play. Each musical note is represented by a different character that corresponds to that world. As each character lands on the colored keyboard at the top of the screen, simply press the corresponding piano key to play the right note at the right time.

Intermediate Level: As the player’s skill advances, the colored keyboard rotates from at the top of the screen to a position perpendicular the piano keyboard. The musical notes are still represented by characters, but now the player is getting comfortable reading music in its traditional horizontal format.

Transition Level: At this level of musical development, the fantasy world , as well as its corresponding characters, are replaced by traditional music notation. The notes are still colored to match the piano.

Advanced Level: When the player is ready, the backgrounds and colors are replaced by a traditional music staff. Because Piano Wizard teaches how to play the music first, hand/eye coordination—and skills like pitch, rhythm and reflexes—are now second nature. The player is able to read notation as a map to playing music, rather than frustrating hieroglyphics.
