Exciting gaming programs which is also truly educational is a rare commodity, at best -- especially in the realm of music instruction. Computer software games are a huge and burgeoning industry because kids are completely enthralled by them. Wouldn't the ideal music-learning process integrate piano instruction software with a fun, interactive gaming environment?

Software applications that provides consumers with a non-violent alternative to conventional video games, which are at the same time fun, compelling, and challenging, could also educate one in musical literacy very efficiently. Such a blending would have the unrivaled ability to alter the normally tedious and repetitive piano practice into an exciting, very rewarding video game experience – finally taking the distastefulness out of each piano practice -- forever.

I’ll always remember my first and last) piano teacher, Mr. Delegato (the name has been changed to protect the guilty). You see, Mr. Delegato was one of those old school teachers. He was very regimental and very old, around 80 I believe. Don’t get me wrong, he was a nice old man and an incredible musician…he could play rapid-fire arpeggios with his pinky finger. But come lesson time, he turned into Mr. Hyde.
