Fun Piano Software To Help Children and Adult Beginners Learn To Read Piano Notes
Searching for piano software
I started out searching Google for 'piano software' but the only programs I found were very monotonous drills and I knew my nephew would find these games dull and boring.What I was really wanted 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 so much fun that my nephew would keep coming back for more
The worst
thing about most tutorial programs is that they don't actually 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 allows students to
learn at their own pace without getting frustrated.
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.

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 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 transition to reading
music in the real world.
