PianoisFun by Anthony Fernando is a great game for young music learners. It is best utilized by music teachers or instrctors working with young students.
[DESCRIPTION FROM MANUFACTURERS WEB SITE] Because four years ago I was in exactly the same position as you are right now. You see, my nephew Michael (who was 8 at the time) was struggling to learn to read music and I desparately wanted to help him. As a professional software developer and a musician with over twenty years of experience I knew what I was looking for. Looking For An Answer… I started out by searching for note learning software but the only programs I found were monotonous drills, You know the ones -- where a note appears and you just click on its name. 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
After a lot of research, I realized that the program I was looking for just didn't exist, so I decided to create it myself. Five months later... Piano Is Fun was born! |
