PIANO IS FUN PURCHASE INFO


As a piano teacher I have long searched for a note learning software that will supplement my teaching on how to learn to recognize treble and bass clef notes on the piano. The only programs I found were boring drills where a note appears and one just clicks on the note name. They were dull and boring!!

What I really needed was a program that would:
· Introduce the notes gradually
· Teach both the note names and where to find the notes on the piano keyboard
· Clearly explain the difference between the Treble and Bass clef notes
· Allow me to select which notes to practice
· Use bright and colorful animation
· Be fun

Finally, all my searching efforts paid off and I found what I was looking for.
The software program is called, “Piano Is Fun.”

Piano Is Fun is a software program that helps students learn to recognize treble and bass clef notes on the piano. It makes learning to read music easy and enjoyable. The features of the software program include:

· Fun characters: Piano Is Fun "stars" a cast of eight friendly and positive characters. These characters take it in turns to present the lessons

· 20 Step-by-step lessons: The 20 step-by-step lessons introduce students to the notes and keyboard positions of the piano gradually so that they never feel intimidated or overwhelmed. Students will eventually learn to recognize treble and bass clef notes on the piano successfully. PIANO IS FUN PURCHASE INFO.

· Interactive exercises: Students learn to recognize treble and bass clef notes on the piano through interactive exercises and games that ensure that they develop true note recognition skills instead of memorizing silly rhymes.

· Practice Games that teach. The worst thing about most tutorial programs is that they don't teach students anything! Instead, they just test what students already know using repetitive drills. Each lesson of Piano Is Fun includes a Practice Game which shows students the answers when the note reaches the halfway point. This allows students to learn the note names and keyboard positions from scratch - At their own pace. Without getting frustrated.

· Helps develop a musical ear: Each time a student correctly identifies a note name or locates the correct key on the piano, they hear the actual sound of the note through the computer. This helps them to develop their sense of pitch.

· Collectable rewards to provide motivation: When they complete a lesson, students receive a special reward on their personal progress page. These rewards allow you to monitor their progress and also act as form of motivation. (It's incredible to see how motivated students become when it comes to collecting their rewards!)

· The Bronze, Silver and Gold Medallion Challenges: these bring everything together on the Grand Staff. The challenges include the note names and keyboard positions of the Bass and Treble clefs. This helps students make the jump to reading music in the real world.

· Printable Certificates When a student completes a medallion challenge, they are rewarded with a triumphant fanfare and are presented with a Certificate of Achievement. These certificates are a valuable form of positive reinforcement (And look great in a black frame next to their piano!) PIANO IS FUN PURCHASE INFO.

· Custom Lessons: If a student is having problems with particular notes, Piano Is Fun allows you to create a customized lesson to address their specific problem. Just go to the 'Custom Lesson' screen and select any number of notes from the treble and bass clefs and Piano Is Fun will then create a custom lesson to help.

· Keep track of up to 50 students: Piano Is Fun tracks the progress of up to 50 individual students. You can check a student's progress page at any time to find out how they are going. This allows you to quickly determine which students are struggling so that you can take the appropriate action.

· As a bonus gift for purchasing Piano Is Fun, you'll also receive 16 fun musical puzzles.
