During our testing, adults and children (ages 4-13) were captivated by this piano learning system. All of the children and one of the adults were playing a piano keyboard for the first time in their lives.
Players, parents, and music teachers can up-load any song into the game, instantly creating a new video game experience or music lesson every time. As a musician who endured long and boring piano lessons in my youth, I was amazed at the amount of practice and determination the Piano Wizard encouraged from each of the children. Knowing the hyperactivity level and limited attention span of some of the kids added to my astonishment.
Studies show that normal attrition rates for piano lessons among the general population can approach 80 percent. If our testing is any indication of the enthusiasm that both children and adults will have learning piano using Piano Wizard, I have to believe the attrition rate will be small.
We test many products at Computer Times that perform well and earn our Editor's Choice award. Seldom, though, do we find a product that is as exciting as Piano Wizard. As an editor, educator and musician, if we had medals to award along with our Editor's Choice award, I would certainly present Piano Wizard with the gold medal. Hats off to everyone involved in its design. It doesn't get any better than this.
