Nowadays, with all kinds of music software and midi files available , we can learn music faster than before. Not only that, we are able to expose to other style of music as well. I am sure glad that I am in this generation where I can tap into all these resources.
My daughter (7 yrs old) is taking the traditional method piano class since beginning last year. The songs are getting tougher now, and she is showing dislike in practicing. To figure out the note, the rhythm and keys simultaneously takes a lot of patience, but kids don’t have it.
To make it easier for her, what I did is that I sequence the song and load it into piano wizard for her to practise.
Piano Wizard is a video game designed to make the first stages of learning how to play the piano fun, exciting and even addictive. With the help of a simple computer game, children as young as three years can learn how to play an actual song within minutes. And as they play the game more and more, they’ll learn how to read music without ever having to play a single scale.
Once she is familiar with playing the song, I put her back into playing from her song book. The result is , less frustration and she learn 5 times faster. It’s great.
As a musician myself, I want her to be expose to learning other style of music as well. I can now download all kinds of midi files out there, program some myself, and upload it into piano wizard for additional lesson. Pretty cool isn’t it.
